"Note that memory usage on modern operating systems like Linux is an extremelycomplicated and difficult to understand area. In fact the chances of you actuallycorrectly interpreting whatever numbers you get is extremely low. (Pretty muchevery time I look at memory usage numbers with other engineers, there is alwaysa long discussion about what they actually mean that only results in a vagueconclusion.)"

malloc()/free()Comes from Doug Lea's dlmallocPublic DomainSee bionic/libc/upstream-dlmalloc/Tutorial/doc:
Dates back to 1987Uses CALL_MORECORE() macro do allocations
Based on sbrk()dlopen()/dlsym()
