I don't know of a portable method for checking your memory. However, even if there were a way, why would you want to go that route? I suspect you want to check your memory, determine if there's enough, then, if so, read the entire file into memory. Not only does this involve more complicated code, what happens if something allocates memory between when you checked and when you read the file? I would suggest you simply program defensively; assume the file is too large to read into memory and go from there.
