Abstract
A memory profiler is provided in a programming environment. The memory profiler records memory usage information at a point of a program that runs in the programming environment. The memory profiler may record information on the amount of allocated memory, the amount of freed memory and the amount of peak memory usage. The memory profiler may also record the number of allocations and frees. The memory usage information is associated with individual points in the program so that a user can utilize this information to change the program to use less memory. With the memory usage information, the present invention enables a user to recognize how much memory is being allocated and used on behalf of a program and to track down what code is actually causing a problem in the program.
