Abstract
An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for identifying a memory leak in a heap. Prior to the start of the observation period, all live objects in the heap are identified to form a set of live objects by altering an indicator in the live objects. After running the system for the required amount of time or until completion of the event being monitored, the system is used to obtain the list of live objects without the altered indicator. Live objects without the altered indicators form the most likely objects associated with a memory leak.
