[Boost-users] System call to get current process memory usage?

From: Matt England (mengland_at_[hidden])

What if any system calls exist to get the current process' system memory 
usage (including all of the current process' threads)?

I'm trying to write unit tests to make sure that my memory allocation 
processes (for Boost "smart pointers) are actually deallocating correctly 
after thousands of dynamic allocations...and my presumption is that a 
process-memory "self check" thoughout this process will be very useful for 
my self-running unit test.

I'd prefer cross-platform calls (be it POSIX, unix/linux, Boost C++, 
etc...preferably not win32-specific if I can avoid it, but if I must I 
will) if I can get them, but I'll take a system specific all (for my 
testing prototype) if I must.

Thanks for any help,
-Matt
