Hi All, My apologies if this is not the right place for these type of questions - I do not know of a better place to ask this. I am trying to take out some memory figures from the /proc/<pid>/smaps interface (linux v2.6.35). However, I could not find what do the entries that have no name associated to them (no library path or binary path with these entries) mean. So, I wrote a test C program that allocates 100MB of memory (using malloc) and then writes to it in chunks of 10MB. I could see that the 'Size' and 'RSS' of one of the unnamed entries was increasing in accordance with the code, but there were several other such unnamed sections too - is there a way to know what and where do they come from. Also, I could see that for some process the smap interface was showing a '[heap]' entry but not for all - e.g. for my above test case, there was no '[heap]' entry, although I assumed the malloc should have reflected in the [heap]. Can someone please tell me (or point me in the right direction) why is heap entry there only for some processes ? Thanks in advance for any help..
