The headers forTASK_BASIC_INFO say:

/* Don't use this, use MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO instead */

Here is a version using MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO:

void report_memory(void)
{
    struct mach_task_basic_info info;
    mach_msg_type_number_t size = MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO_COUNT;
    kern_return_t kerr = task_info(mach_task_self(),
                                   MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO,
                                   (task_info_t)&info,
                                   &size);
    if( kerr == KERN_SUCCESS ) {
        NSLog(@"Memory in use (in bytes): %u", info.resident_size);
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Error with task_info(): %s", mach_error_string(kerr));
    }
}
