Abstract
Various embodiments manage dynamic memory allocation data. In one embodiment, a set of memory allocation metadata is extracted from a memory heap space. Process dependent information and process independent information is identified from the set of memory allocation metadata based on the set of memory allocation metadata being extracted. The process dependent information and the process independent information at least identify a set of virtual memory addresses available in the memory heap space and a set of virtual memory addresses allocated to a process associated with the memory heap space. A set of allocation data associated with the memory heap space is stored in a persistent storage based on the process dependent information and the process independent information having been identified. The set of allocation data includes the process independent allocation information and a starting address associated with the memory heap space.
