Summary of Total Object.Size in R Script

That is certainly true because I have seen differences due to the
sharing of values.  I also look at what 'gc()' shows at the memory
being used.  Does this provide a reasonable estimate of the total
space being used?

Here is a function I use to see how big the objects in my workspace are:

Be careful with the caveats spelled out in ?object.size.  Especially for
character data such summations can be way off.

my.ls <-

object.size(eval(as.symbol(..x))))

sum(.result)))

function(x) mode(eval(as.symbol(x))))),
+         "-------")

my.ls()

Dear all,

Is there a way we can find the total object.size of
all the objects in our R script?

The reason we want to do this because we want to know
how much memory does our R script require overall.

Rprofmem(), doesn't seem to do it.

and Unix 'top' command is dynamic and
it doesn't give the exact byte size.
