for anyone else who needs to do this: the answer is to use task_info()
examples of how to use it can be found in the ps.proj in the darwin code, in particular tasks.c

if there is anything else that can help monitor memory usage of a cocoa app (programmatically), please chime in.

how can I monitor the memory usage of my application? my goal is to be able to detect anomalies without necessarily any stack traces (I can monitor the overall activity and narrow the investigation later). I need to be able to avoid false positive as well: I noticed that if monitor memory usage manually using top, I can see the app increasing in size, but if I check with ObjectAlloc, the app size does not increase, even for top. So I suspect that just looking at the process mem usage would not sufice, although it might provide a good start.

I can't use tools like ObjectAlloc because it grows to the point where it crashes within a few hours. The app allocates and releases large amounts of data over time.

thanks
