Right.  That's what I thought you meant, too.

Violently agree.

gdb would still have the problem of subtracting sbrk(0) - &global.
That worked fine in 1980 but addresses in different segments can
be relocated anywhere now.  It really should be doing:

    marker_1 = sbrk(0);
    ... compute ... compute ...
    marker_2 = sbrk(0);
    space_used = marker_2 - marker_1;
