BTW does exist a tool to profile memory consumption by each source
level struct / vector/ or any other data container?

Valgrind checks mainly memory leaks, callgrind gives profiling
information in terms of call graphs and times/cycles consumed by each
function.

What I _really_ would like it's a tool that allows me to *easily*
check how much memory is used in a given point in time by each data
container at source level.

Something like this:


At checkpoint "trigger_now":

struct my_data is instantiated 120234 times
struct super_delta is instantiated 100000 times


At checkpoint "trigger_also_now":

struct my_data is instantiated 12 times
struct super_delta is instantiated 70 times

.....


That would be AWSOME!!! a super debugging killing tool!

Thanks
