Measure memory consumption about changenotifier_benchmark HOT 4 OPEN

Yeah, good point. I actually think that the fastest approaches are also the ones with the smallest memory footprint, as they are fast because they avoid unnecessary copies (compared to the ValueNotifier in Flutter) and use compact data structures like arrays instead of linked lists.

But you are right, we should also profile that.

I tried to profile this with DartDev Tools but I only get the size of the pointers :/
I will search it we can have some kind of method which can gives us the total consumed memory at a time

@letsar added a Flutter app to measure to footprint in DevTools. As expected, the proposed version has a much smaller footprint than the current one (Due to the usage of default ArrayLists instead of linked lists and due to the omission of the _Listener wrapper objects).

Unfortunately, we did not find a way to automate measuring the memory footprint.

Good to hear and confirm. I had a look at the packages from devtools, it's too bad that they did not separate the client from the app itself, it would had probably made this exercise possible without too much effort.
