    RAM memory consumption

    I'm implementing an application that should decide whether to move computations
    to external memory, depending on RAM memory consumption. Is there a C++ function that computes my maximal RAM memory capacity, and the amount of currently consumed portion (in MB, perhaps). Any other suggestions on how to obtain these values are welcome.
    Thanks

    Re: RAM memory consumption

    This would be certainly be platform specific, so no. I'm sure gtk, win32, and cocoa all have functions for it, but they're all going to be different.

    If you´re targetting Windows there are two API functions GlobalMemory/GlobalMemoryEx that return the system´s memory statistics.
