Abstract

Coding issues that create runtime memory leaks, for example in programs coded in a platform-independent programming language such as Java™, can be isolated at the program code line level. An allocation trace that retains, in active memory, a unique object identifier for each of a plurality of objects instantiated during program execution and an address in the active memory where each object is stored can be created. Memory leak candidates can be identified by directly examining contents of the active memory to identify one or more data structures that are increasing in size over time. The allocation trace can be combined with the identified memory leak candidates to generate information about at least one identified leaking object.
