Description:
------------
The memory usage functions memory_get_usage() and memory_get_peak_usage() are limited by INTEGER and can only store the memory usage of 2.147 GB. This results in false reports for higher memory usage.

Tested on Windows 7 64bit, PHP 5.5.13 (64bit and 32bit version).

Test script:
---------------
ini_set("memory_limit", "3G");

$a = array();
for($i=0; $i<22; $i++)
	$a[$i] = str_repeat("A", 100000000);

echo memory_get_peak_usage();

Expected result:
----------------
2200227928

Actual result:
--------------
-2094739216

I don't use windows often.
AFAIK, int is 32bit under windows regardless of architecture. Therefore, overflow is spec.

Is there any clean/feasible solution? Anyone?

You can increase the limit by using the negative integer.

$bytes = memory_get_peak_usage();
if($bytes < 0){
	$bytes = PHP_INT_MAX + ($bytes - ~PHP_INT_MAX);
}

Hi,

any new on this ?

memory_get_peak_usage() should return an int, which should be 64bit on 64bit systems, but it appears to be 32bit.

Any reason why ?

NB: I'm on PHP 5.5.30 x64 build on Windows 7 x64

By the way this shoud be a bug, not a feature request...

PHP 7 supports 64bit integers on LLP64 platforms. Of course you'll still get an overflow on 32bit builds, but there isn't much we can do about that.
