Documenting memory usage

[elspork]

I need a way to know how much memory a program is using at any given time in the course of running. I'm just learning about the basic points of memory management and copy constructors and the lot, and I want a way to know when I'm on the right track, and when I have memory leaks.

What is the best route to pursue? Is there a way to do this from within the program and assign a particular variable with the amount of memory being used, or that is available in the heap or the stack?

TaskManager will show you how much memory you are using at any given time. Turn on Mem Usage in the processes tab (View->Select Columns)
