ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for profiling a heap. According to the method, a flexible and comprehensive general-purpose profiling interface that uniformly accommodates a wide variety of memory allocation and garbage collection methods is used. The profiling interface, among other things, employs a set of virtual machine profiling interface events that support all known types of garbage collection methods.
