linux - Correlation between malloc_stats and /proc/pid/stat -

i working on embedded linux system. understand info malloc_stats , /proc/pid/stats provide. want know how info printed malloc_stats related memory usage info provided /proc/stats. background want instrument each thread in app check memory leaks.malloc_stats prints useful info cant used programatically./proc//task/ has useful info unable correlate heap memory used current thread.

have overlooked mallinfo() library function? it's malloc_stats() gets info from.

to reply question directly: info in /proc reflect total memory usage of process, including slack space between memory allocations , free memory, memory that's beingness used wasn't allocated through malloc() @ (e.g, stack, global/static variables, etc). malloc_stats() break downwards what's allocated , isn't.
