METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING A SOURCE OF A MEMORY LEAK

摘要

Methods, systems, and techniques for tracing callstacks, the results of which can be used to identify a source of a memory leak. A memory heap is sampled at different times to determine counts of respective allocations of different allocations at the different times. From the counts of the respective allocations at the different times, rates at which the respective allocations have changed over the different times, and which of the rates is equal to or greater than a leak indication rate, are determined. Callstacks for respective allocations of the different allocation sizes for each of the rates that is equal to or greater than the leak indication rate are traced. The results of the tracing may be used during debugging to identify the source of the memory leak.
