[rotis23]

does anyone know of a good linux utility to check a (c) programs usage of system memory resources?

i'm interested to see how it allocates and frees memory throughout its runnng cycle.

The top program shows you how much memory and CPU power programs use. //Daniel

There's a program called memprof (I bet it's available at freshmeat.net), I'm not quite sure how it works since I've only heard of it, but it's some sort of a memory profiler. Seems to me that's what you want. =)
