Abstract
A memory leak detection scheme for use in a computer system (e.g., Java) by: finding an allocation site () which is responsible for allocating objects which accumulate in a memory heap (); and monitoring memory activity related to the found allocation site to discover a memory leak related thereto. The technique can be entirely application independent and can be made fully automatic, running as a daemon process on a machine and detecting leakage in a number of client processes simultaneously.
