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

OPTIONS
