Object ownership profiling: a technique for finding and fixing memory leaks

Abstract

We introduce object ownership profiling, a technique forfinding and fixing memory leaks in object-oriented programs. Object ownership profiling is the first memory profiling technique that reports both a hierarchy of allocated objects along with size and time information aggregated up that hierarchy. In addition, it reveals the cross-hierarchy interactions that areessential to pinpointing the source of the leak.
