SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR RECONSTITUTING AN OBJECT IN A RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT USING HEAP MEMORY

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein to provide for reconstituting an object from raw data in a heap dump. Embodiments herein provide for retrieving raw data from a managed heap dump, where the raw data corresponds to an object. The raw data is retrieved from the heap dump and loaded into a running computer application within a runtime environment, in embodiments. The raw data is transformed, in some embodiments, by regenerating the actual object from the content of the object that is represented in the raw data, through the running computer application. Various utilities may then be used on the regenerated object to reveal the internal structure of the object for program logic diagnosis, in embodiments.
