| 32 | heapViewer |
| 33 | |
| 34 | This agent library demonstrates how to get an easy view of the |
| 35 | heap in terms of total object count and space used. |
| 36 | It uses GetLoadedClasses(), SetTag(), and IterateThroughHeap() |
| 37 | to count up all the objects of all the current loaded classes. |
| 38 | The heap dump will happen at the event JVMTI_EVENT_VM_DEATH, or the |
| 39 | event JVMTI_EVENT_DATA_DUMP_REQUEST. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | It also demonstrates some more robust agent error handling using |
| 42 | GetErrorName(), |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Using the heap iterate functions, lots of statistics can be generated |
| 45 | without resorting to using Byte Code Instrumentation (BCI). |
| 46 | |
| 47 | You can use this agent library as follows: |
| 48 | |
| 49 | java -agentlib:heapViewer ... |
| 50 | |
| 51 | To get help on the available options try: |
| 52 | |
| 53 | java -agentlib:heapViewer=help |
| 54 | |
| 55 | See ${JAVA_HOME}/demo/jvmti/index.html for help running and building agents. |
