Comments on: Diving into memory usage with Heap Profiler http://www.luminance.org/blog/code/2011/06/03/diving-into-memory-usage-with-heap-profiler Programming and Game Development - Kevin Gadd's Blog Sun, 25 Mar 2012 19:57:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: pd http://www.luminance.org/blog/code/2011/06/03/diving-into-memory-usage-with-heap-profiler/comment-page-1#comment-4616 pd Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:59:54 +0000 http://www.luminance.org/?p=959#comment-4616 Damn I hate github! Developers think it's fine to put their files there and just link to the space! Please provide a binary. I have big time memory leak issues and I would dearly love to help fix them with a tool like Heap Profiler but I'll be buggered if I'm going to compile the tool first! Congrats on taking up this challenge. I still believe memory, startup, performance is the single biggest failure of Firefox and would dearly love to see that change. Damn I hate github!

While it's a managed app, the instrumentation it uses is provided by Microsoft and is part of the windows kernel.

I see this is written in managed code, but you didn't say if it can be used to memory profile managed applications reliably. I don't know if the CLR calls native heap allocation functions for every managed allocation or if managed pdbs are compatible with the native symbols you're expecting. Could you clarify how the tool works with managed code? Looks like a really cool tool that would complement nicely SlimTune for my profiling needs.

I'd love to see you trying this tool on some of the bugs here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=659860&hide_resolved=1 This is cool, like Massif but with a much nicer and more flexible interface.
