Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method may include identifying, by a first operating system process in a computer system accessing a shared memory heap, a first object at a first memory address in the shared memory heap. The first object may have been previously allocated in the shared memory heap by a second operating system process. The method may also include identifying an object descriptor associated with the first object at a second memory address in the shared memory heap. The object descriptor occupies a number of bits of memory independent of the type. The method may also include determining a size of the first object based on the object descriptor, enumerating, based on the object descriptor, fields associated with the first object and performing an action based on each field of the enumerated fields.
