| |
Hi,
I am trying to figure out where I can dynamically figure out information
about the Heap. The /proc/self/stat gives information about the stack like where the stack begins and the size (at least that's what it looks like). But I can't find out where to find that information about the heap (ie, where it begins and the size of the heap). I need similiar information about the static data area which I can hopefully glean from the /proc because I have to do it at run time.
I have found information about /proc/self/maps. I have found that the second and third entries are the static data segment and the heap segment respectively. But I am still not sure if this is always the case. I am still looking a more detailed information what is in the maps file. I have also looked at the man page for /proc.
If anyone has ideas about where to look for more information and can answer my questions, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Usman
