I did try that script. Unfortunately, I not only want the memory used for my program but also, which library is contributing to that memory. To that end, I have written a small script which parses the smap output in a format more suitable for my analysis. However, as I wrote earlier, there a lot of anonymous memory regions listed in smap output (with permission rwxp) - and I do not know of any way in which I could associate these memory mapping to a particular library.. Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated :) Regards, Aneesh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
