Abstract
Techniques for memory management or analysis with conservative garbage collectors is provided. The native stack is analyzed during runtime to identify within frames references to objects in the heap space. An amount of memory is calculated that represents the memory implicated by the reference. A log can be generated that conveys the frame, location of the reference in the frame and amount of memory implicated by the reference.
