Hey everybody,
Do any of you know of a way to monitor the memory usage of your C++ program in Linux from within your program?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.
you probably have to write your own new/delete operator. That should be easy, because the only thing they have to do es to add/substract sizeof(operand_to_new/delete) to some global value and then execute standard new/delete.
I never tried this so it could be wrong
This will get the usage only for the dynamic memory. However, I want the usage for the whole program. Thanks for trying to help though.
Linux maintains a lot of live information in "/var/proc"
IIRC, each process has it's process ID in there somewhere, and within that may exist the information you're after.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
