Invalid memory usage when cloning material

Post by Crashy »

If a loaded material is cloned, the memory size of the cloned material isn't tracked.

Quick example pseudo code:

Code: Select all

matA = MaterialManager::getSingleton().create(...); 
matA->load(); //adds xxx bytes to the ResourceManager::mMemoryUsage
matB = matA.clone(...); //adds nothing
matB->unload(); //removes xxx bytes from the ResourceManager::mMemoryUsage
matA->unload(); //removes xxx bytes from the ResourceManager::mMemoryUsage
If you do something like that, the ResourceManager::mMemoryUsage will be "negative", but it's an unsigned value so..
After that, every time ResourceManager::checkUsage(void) is called, it'll say the memory budget is exceeded.

Simple fix proposal, add this at the end of the Material::clone method

Code: Select all

//if we're cloning from a loaded material, notify the creator or otherwise tracked size won't be right
if (newMat->getLoadingState() == LOADSTATE_LOADED)
{
	// Notify manager
	if (mCreator)
		mCreator->_notifyResourceLoaded(newMat.get());
}
