checking the current memory?

I suppose you can use VirtualQuery to emulate _stackavail. I''ve never heard of coreleft. You can check out some stuff I posted here.

coreleft() was a heap monitoring function in Borland C++ 3.1.

Which is what I need...the size of the heap - that way, after a complex manipulation, I can make sure I haven''t left anything laying around, so to speak...

_stackavail isn''t really vital, but I''m at a complete loss as to why newer versions of C++ have no heap size functions...

You can use CRT debug heap: _CrtDumpAllObjectsSince and the such.

Not that the ''newer versions'' of C++ don''t have heap size functions, Borland and Microsoft just have their own games and ''board sizes''... with some extra digging u could find it.

(IMHO) btw, coreleft() (and farcoreleft(), etc. ) is very useful for me in those (16bit DOS) days... I really hope for one in MSVC.

MSVC provides much more debugging capabilities than just a couple of functions to return available heap memory, so I fail to see why you want those particular functions when better facilities are available.

That''s JUST what I need.

Just personal preferences. I would rather drive a car than piloting a full-of-features jetfighter just to buy a shampoo. coreleft() is way too simple to use, and ''more english'' .
