Abstract
A heap analyzer that processes a snapshot of the heap contained in a dump file is described. The heap analyzer tool can be configured to relocate the pointers in the dumped heap and allow developers to examine the heap in web browser by presenting markup for displaying a heap object in the browser and rendering pointers in the object as clickable links. When a link is selected, the pointer is followed to another object and markup is generated for rendering that object with its links. Furthermore, callbacks may be provided through an application programming interface (API) to allow developers to furnish their own code for analyzing and displaying their data structures.
