this is offtopic for gdb.

And the standard glibc memory allocator does not provide allocated memory
introspection as it would reduce its performance.

You need to change the default allocator, you track the memory easily
yourself:
	info '(libc)Hooks for Malloc'
using some small .so loaded by:
(gdb) set env LD_PRELOAD=./myhook.so

Or rather check some tools like valgrind which may provide such functionality
out of the box (I do not know myself).

Jan
