Better 32-bit support #76

Closed randomascii closed 5 years ago

randomascii commented 8 years ago

"On a ponderously slow 32 bit machine I tried to get a trace, but UIforETW32 reported:

Starting tracing to in-memory circular buffers... xperf: error: UIforETWSession: Not enough storage is available to process this command. (0x8). Error starting tracing. Try stopping tracing and then starting it again? Process exit code was 80070008 (2147942408)

It's a 32 bit Windows 10 install on a machine that was upgraded from Vista to 7 to 10. (I suggested that maybe reinstalling as x64 to get the benefit of the 4G of ram in the machine would be worthwhile, but he said he'd rather just buy a whole new computer if he was going to go to all that bother.)

Anyway, I guess it was probably just out of contiguous memory? Maybe the 32.exe could use a smaller buffer, if that's possible to configure."

Even on a 64-bit OS it is possible to not have enough memory for tracing. Ideally the requested memory would be lowered in that case rather than failing.

Nobody has cared in almost three years. I'm closing this.
