How to see heap and stack usage of a function in c using valgrind?
arm, c, embedded, memcheck, valgrind
Solution
There is a valgrind tool massif that measures how much heap memory an application uses. Similarly memcheck can give you stack trace. More explanation here

Problem
I am working on a embedded system. We have limited stack and heap in our embedded system typically 64k (ram). I am trying to use polar-ssl library calls. Is there any tools which tells how much stack and heap memory is used by a C function? Is there any option is in valgrind which prints the following: - Stack and heap usage of a function. - Call trace of functions which calls internally malloc with no of bytes.
