HI luggies,
I have some optimized c code snippets. I want to know how much memory it
takes before and after optimization.Is there any tool for it??
Hmm, in my enthusiasm to participate in a flame, i forgot to reply to this,
although i did have a couple of suggestions :).
Somebody already mentioned valgrind. There is also pmap which is good for a
quick 'point-in-time' snapshot of process memory space (man pmap) or just
$ cat /proc/<pid>/status
...or even "ps l"
hth,
cheers,
