NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

gc-analyze [OPTION] ... [file]

DESCRIPTION

gc-analyze prints an analysis of a GC memory dump to standard out.

The memory dumps may be created by calling "gnu.gcj.util.GCInfo.enumerate(String namePrefix)" from java code. A memory dump will be created on an out of memory condition if "gnu.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
