Re: [Dev-C++] how to get heap dimension

Just dumping amount of used heap is quite booring. The best solution is to
use a memory debug library, that replaces the standard new and delete
operators with debug-instrumented alternatives. If a program has
memory leaks, you may then dump information source code file that
made the memory allocation, the size of the block, sometimes
date/time when it was allocated and/or data type of the memory
blocks.

There are a number of available debug libraries, or it's quite easy to
write own new/delete replacements.
