This is the wrong mailing list. The gcc-help mailing list is for questions about the gcc compiler. You are likely to get a better answer if you ask on a forum for whichever operating system you are using. If you happen to be using GNU/Linux, then I think you can pull this out of /proc/self/stat or /proc/self/statm, but I don't know the format of those files. Ian
