NAME

gc-analyze - Analyze Garbage Collector (GC) memory dumps

SYNOPSIS

gc-analyze [\s-1OPTION\s0] ... [file]

DESCRIPTION

gc-analyze prints an analysis of a \s-1GC\s0 memory dump to standard out.
The memory dumps may be created by calling CWgnu.gcj.util.GCInfo.enumerate(String namePrefix) from java code. A memory dump will be created on an out of memory condition if CWgnu.gcj.util.GCInfo.setOOMDump(String namePrefix) is called before the out of memory occurs.
Running this program will create two files: TestDump001 and TestDump001.bytes.
import gnu.gcj.util.*; import java.util.*;
public class GCDumpTest { static public void main(String args[]) { ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<String>(1000);
for (int i = 1; i < 1500; i++) { l.add("This is string #" + i); } GCInfo.enumerate("TestDump"); } }
The memory dump may then be displayed by running:
gc-analyze -v TestDump001

OPTIONS

"--verbose"
"-v"
Verbose output.
"-p Prefix added to the names of the nm and readelf commands.
"-d Directory that contains the executable and shared libraries used when the dump was generated.
"--help" Print a help message, then exit.
