Getting information about memory
Hi experts,
Can someone help me write a function which will print how much memory has been allocated to the program ?
e.g.
int main() {
// lots of new here
print_memory();
// lots of new again
print_memory();
// deletes are called here
print_memory();
}
print_memory in all cases should print the memory taken by this program at that particular time.

Hmm, what OS are you targetting?

The solution is going to be platform dependent:
If you're running on linux, you can get all kinds of good information from the sysinfo structure.
#include "linux/kernel.h"
main ()
{
struct sysinfo Sysinfo;
sysinfo (&Sysinfo);
/* Print any/all of the sysinfo items that you want */
}

I should have written in the first place itself, I need the solution for Solaris and AIX. It is okay to have platform dependent solutions.
Just want to reiterate that I need the information about the self program. So how does a running program know its pid ?

No.
Just a small advise:
I had a similar task about a year ago and I downloaded the linux source code for the top-utility and learned how to do it.
Unfortunately I do not have the result code anymore, but you could do the same "learning process".
Or just compile and use this open source utility "top" if it is possible in your task.

AIX has a similar structure.
cd /usr/include/sys
grep sysinfo *.h
Will show you the header files that use sysinfo or the 64 bit version. Basically, check out encap.h and space.h.
