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
