Help for a program knowing the free memory space in our OS

[peste1234]

Good afternoon,

I'm in trouble. I've been sent an assignment for getting a C++ program to know my our OS's free memory. In our case, we own windows 7. Could anybody help me programming this program? Please!

Thanks!

On Windows, there is GlobalMemoryStatusEx:

#include <windows.h>

size_t getTotalSystemMemory()
{
    MEMORYSTATUSEX status;
    status.dwLength = sizeof(status);
    GlobalMemoryStatusEx(&status);
    return status.ullTotalPhys;
}

You can get all kinds of various info about the memory.
