Hi Felix. You can answer this for any object you're curious about using the "malloc_size" function. You can even do it from the GDB command line:

(gdb) call (long)malloc_size((void*)[NSObject alloc])
$10 = 16
(gdb) call (long)malloc_size(@"1")
$11 = 16
(gdb) call (long)malloc_size((void*)[NSData dataWithBytes:"1" length:1])
$12 = 32

Of course, the data itself is stored separate from the object, but I assume you're looking for baseline values since you specified "1 char" values.

Hi,

I'm wondering, how much memory does an instance of a

NSObject (to know about the common "base weight" of an object)

NSString (1 character)

NSData (1 byte)
..

approximately occupy?
