I have a little program run in arm linux compiled by lazarus+qt4, but
it used more than 300m memory in top command window.
The hardware is arm2440, and I want to run many little programs in it,
so is there a way or a compiler condition to fix it?

I found a page:http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
Maybe it is my answer.

Maybe your answer is to go to project options, disable debug output
(no -g, -gw, -gl, -gh, etc) and strip the executable (-Xs)
See

inaries_so_big.3F
and
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Size_Matters


... or search the forum and wiki, this has been discussed many, many,
many times.

Note: above is a generic approach that should work for all platforms,
don't know if there are arm or qt specific tricks.

How big is the executable then? I would guess Linux only reserves that
much for it if application is somehow potentially using it once in a
while. Does this happen with new empty project?
