In order to find out how much memory that an application consumes,
one can look at the map file generated for the application.
The map file will give the memory size that is allocated to each 
section (.txt, .bss, .data etc ). When the amount of the sections
represented in map file, we could get the size of an application.

The gnu linker has switches that will generate the map file.

Hope this might help.

with rgds,
mahadev
