that android uses. How do i confirm it?

Perhaps put a sleep(30) right at the start of main()

Run your program.
Look at /proc/PID/status

Then when the sleep is finished and your program continues executing, look
at /proc/PID/status again

To do the test properly you'd probably need to generate some code which has
lots of no-ops (maybe a megabytes worth), and look at /proc/PID/status
before and after executing that function.

I think that as more code gets paged in you'll see VmRSS increase. IIRC
VmRSS also includes your heap and stack.
