Abstract
Apparatus, computer-readable storage medium and a method executed by a computer for tracing the memory accesses of an object-oriented program comprises assigning a unique identification to each class object created from at least one class in the object-oriented program by modifying a class definition of the at least one class. In response to an unloading of one of the class objects, obtaining class unloading related information from a runtime environment of the object-oriented program and obtaining the unique identification of the unloaded class object according to the returned information. Then releasing memory space assigned to the unloaded class object for storing the memory access information of the unloaded class object.
