Abstract
A programming and debugging system identifies one or more statically-allocated symbols in a symbol table for an inferior process. The statically-allocated symbols pertain to one or more structures for the inferior process. The inferior process has dynamic memory allocations in an inferior process memory space. The symbol table comprises data used to categorize the statically-allocated area of memory. The system locates the structures in the inferior process memory space and determines whether an address of the structures in the inferior process memory space matches an address of a block of the dynamically allocated area of memory. The system categorizes the block of dynamically allocated memory based on the determination of whether an address of the structures matches an address of a block of the dynamically allocated area of memory.
