Go divides the virtual address // space of the heap into "spans", which are contiguous // regions of memory 8K or larger. A span may be in one of // three states: // // An "idle" span contains no objects or other data. The // physical memory backing an idle span can be released back // to the OS (but the virtual address space never is), or it // can be converted into an "in use" or "stack" span. // // An "in use" span contains at least one heap object and may // have free space available to allocate more heap objects. // // A "stack" span is used for goroutine stacks. Stack spans // are not considered part of the heap. A span can change // between heap and stack memory; it is never used for both // simultaneously. // HeapAlloc is bytes of allocated heap objects. // // "Allocated" heap objects include all reachable objects, as // well as unreachable objects that the garbage collector has // not yet freed. Specifically, HeapAlloc increases as heap // objects are allocated and decreases as the heap is swept // and unreachable objects are freed. Sweeping occurs // incrementally between GC cycles, so these two processes // occur simultaneously, and as a result HeapAlloc tends to // change smoothly (in contrast with the sawtooth that is // typical of stop-the-world garbage collectors). HeapAlloc uint64 // HeapSys is bytes of heap memory obtained from the OS. // // HeapSys measures the amount of virtual address space // reserved for the heap. This includes virtual address space // that has been reserved but not yet used, which consumes no // physical memory, but tends to be small, as well as virtual // address space for which the physical memory has been // returned to the OS after it became unused (see HeapReleased // for a measure of the latter). // // HeapSys estimates the largest size the heap has had. HeapSys uint64 // HeapIdle is bytes in idle (unused) spans. // // Idle spans have no objects in them. These spans could be // (and may already have been) returned to the OS, or they can // be reused for heap allocations, or they can be reused as // stack memory. // // HeapIdle minus HeapReleased estimates the amount of memory // that could be returned to the OS, but is being retained by // the runtime so it can grow the heap without requesting more // memory from the OS. If this difference is significantly // larger than the heap size, it indicates there was a recent // transient spike in live heap size. HeapIdle uint64 // HeapInuse is bytes in in-use spans. // // In-use spans have at least one object in them. These spans // can only be used for other objects of roughly the same // size. // // HeapInuse minus HeapAlloc esimates the amount of memory // that has been dedicated to particular size classes, but is // not currently being used. This is an upper bound on // fragmentation, but in general this memory can be reused // efficiently. HeapInuse uint64 // HeapReleased is bytes of physical memory returned to the OS. // // This counts heap memory from idle spans that was returned // to the OS and has not yet been reacquired for the heap.

HeapObjects uint64 // Stack memory statistics. // // Stacks are not considered part of the heap, but the runtime // can reuse a span of heap memory for stack memory, and // vice-versa. // StackInuse is bytes in stack spans. // // In-use stack spans have at least one stack in them.

StackSys uint64 // Off-heap memory statistics. // // The following statistics measure runtime-internal // structures that are not allocated from heap memory (usually // because they are part of implementing the heap).
