Greetings,
I know I saw a thread that mentioned this recently, but I have been searching for about an hour and cannot find it.
I am just looking for the answer to how you programatically can get the current memory footprint of your app (like how many MB your app is using at a given point). I know that I can use the LEAKs tool for a detailed analysis, but I just want to be able to do a quick dump to the console here and there to occasionally see what my apps memory footprint is.
Thanks,
Q
This isn't exactly what you were asking for but, http://developers.enormego.com/view/iphone_sdk_available_memory shows how to programmatically fetch the device's free memory.

kalx,
Thanks, that is very useful... I can get what I need out of that.
Another thing that I have been trying to figure out is the whole "max memory footprint" that is allowed for an app. I have seen mention of a 24MB limit, but I am wondering if that is for the whole app or just the openGL textures? Also is there a big difference in these allowed memory sizes between 1g, 2g and 3g devices?
Thanks,

Look in the Utilities class you can download from here:

It's not my code, just something i found on the Internet. There are actually two ways to get the available memory (not: used memory) but i found one to be more accurate but feel free to try the other (commented) one.
I changed CCDirector's FPSLabel to show the free memory instead, very helpful.
