Hmm... you can find the size of all code and statically allocated data
with the `size' command on your executable.  The fields, in bytes, are
as follows:

`text'	Code and most read-only data (like string literals) (in C anyway,
C++ may be different)
`data'  Read/write initialized data (like `char a[5] = "Foo";');
`bss'   Read/write uninitialized data (like `char a[5];')
`dec'	Total in decimal
`hex'	Total in hex

As for dynamically allocated data, it may be best to use a memory
analysis/debugging package like MSS, which will give you more statistics
about dynamic memory usage than you ever wanted. :)
