I'm developing C module for php under linux and I'm trying to find a way that could help me profile my code by maximum memory spike (usage).
Using valgrind I can get total memory allocation within the code. But as it is with allocated memory it comes and goes ;). What I need to get is the highest memory usage that appeared during C application run so I could get total overview on memory requirements and have some measurement point for optimization of the code.
Does anyone know any tool/trick/good practice that could help ?
