打印程序动态分配内存的信息

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

int main(void)
{
        char *p[10];
        int i = 0;

        for (i = 0; i < sizeof(p)/sizeof(p[0]); i++)
        {
                p[i] = malloc(100000);
        }
        return 0;
}

技巧

用gdb调试程序时，可以用下面的自定义命令，打印程序动态分配内存的信息：

define mallocinfo
  set $__f = fopen("/dev/tty", "w")
  call malloc_info(0, $__f)
  call fclose($__f)
end

以上面程序为例：

Temporary breakpoint 5, main () at a.c:7
7               int i = 0;
(gdb) mallocinfo

可以看到gdb输出了动态分配内存的变化信息。
