      • getSnapshotInfo

        public XSnapshotInfo getSnapshotInfo()
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get info object describing the snapshot.

        Performance: Fast - in memory.

        info object describing the snapshot
      • getGCRoots

        public int[] getGCRoots()
                         throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get all GC roots.

        A GC root is an object which doesn't need to be referenced to remain in the heap, e.g. all objects created in the thread stack frame.

        Performance: Fast - in memory.

        Specified by:
        getGCRoots in interface ISnapshot
        Returns:
        int[] containing the objectIds of all GC roots
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - should not normally occur
      • getClasses

        public Collection<IClass> getClasses()
                                      throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get all classes.

        The returned class is a snapshot representation of a Java class. It offers means to get to its name, class loader, fields, inheritance relationships and most importantly to all of its objects found in the heap.

        Performance: Fast - in memory.

        Specified by:
        getClasses in interface ISnapshot
        Returns:
        collection of all classes
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - should not normally occur
      • getClassesByName

        public Collection<IClass> getClassesByName​(String name,
                                                   boolean includeSubClasses)
                                            throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get all classes by name.

        This method returns you for one full class name all classes with this name. Usually you will get only one class back, but in the case of multiple class loaders which have loaded a class with the same name twice (or even the same class) you will get multiple snapshot class representations back as only the combination of class and class loader is unique, not the name alone.

        Performance: Fast - in memory.

        Specified by:
        getClassesByName in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        name - name for the class
        includeSubClasses - flag indicating whether or not to include also classes derived from matching classes (the name isn't taken into account for sub classes anymore)
        Returns:
        collection of matching classes - current implementations can return null if there is no class found
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - should not normally occur
      • getClassesByName

        public Collection<IClass> getClassesByName​(Pattern namePattern,

                                            throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get all classes by name pattern.

        This method returns you all classes with a name matching the regular expression pattern.

        Performance: Fast - in memory, but needs iteration over all classes.

        Specified by:
        getClassesByName in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        namePattern - name pattern for the class (regular expression)
        includeSubClasses - flag indicating whether or not to include also classes derived from matching classes (the name isn't taken into account for subclasses anymore)
        Returns:
        collection of matching classes
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - should not normally occur
      • getHistogram

        public Histogram getHistogram​(IProgressListener listener)

        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get histogram for the whole snapshot.

        This histogram lists all classes and class loaders and how many objects of the classes exist in the snapshot along with the memory consumption.

        Performance: Fast - in memory.

        Specified by:
        getHistogram in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        listener - progress listener informing about the current state of execution
        Returns:
        histogram
        Throws:

        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get histogram for some specific objects - usually the result of other calls to the snapshot.

        This histogram lists all classes and class loaders and how many objects of the classes exist among the given objects along with the memory consumption.

        Performance: Fast to medium - on index (object id -> class id); depending on the number of objects.

        getHistogram in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - object ids for which the histogram should be computed
        progressMonitor - progress listener informing about the current state of execution
        Returns:
        histogram - current implementations can return null if the listener is cancelled
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - if there is a problem retrieving the information such as because of a damaged index.
      • getOutboundReferentIds

        public int[] getOutboundReferentIds​(int objectId)
                                     throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get all objects referenced by the given object.

        This shows the keep-alive relationship between objects and includes:

        • a reference from an object to its type (class)
        • reference fields in objects
        • references in object arrays
        • a references from a class to its class loader
        • a reference from a class to its superclass
        • static reference fields in class objects
        • classes loaded by a class loader

        This is the inverse of ISnapshot.getInboundRefererIds(int).

        Performance: Relatively fast - single index operation.

        Specified by:
        getOutboundReferentIds in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectId - object which is referencing
        Returns:
        objects referenced by the given object
        Throws:

                                   throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get all objects referencing the given objects.

        Hint: This method is handy if you want to learn which classes reference a class. Therefore you would call this method with all objects of your class of interest and get a histogram out of the result.

        This is the inverse of ISnapshot.getOutboundReferentIds(int[], IProgressListener).

        Performance: Fast to slow - on index; depending on the number of objects and the references.

        Specified by:
        getInboundRefererIds in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - objects which are referenced
        progressMonitor - progress listener informing about the current state of execution
        Returns:
        objects referencing the given objects - current implementations can return null if the operation is cancelled
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - should not normally occur

        Hint: This method is handy if you want to learn which classes are referenced by a class. Therefore you would call this method with all objects of your class of interest and get a histogram out of the result. This is the inverse of ISnapshot.getInboundRefererIds(int[], IProgressListener).

        Performance: Fast to slow - on index; depending on the number of objects and the references.

        Specified by:
        getOutboundReferentIds in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - objects which are referencing
        progressMonitor - progress listener informing about the current state of execution

        SnapshotException - should not normally occur
      • getPathsFromGCRoots

        public IPathsFromGCRootsComputer getPathsFromGCRoots​(int objectId,
                                                             Map<IClass,​Set<String>> excludeList)
                                                      throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get interactive computer for paths from GC roots to the given object.

        Hint: This method is handy if you want to learn which objects are responsible for the given object to remain in memory. Since the snapshot implementation artificially creates references from the object to its class and from the class to its class loader you can even see why a class or class loaders remains in memory, i.e. which other objects hold references to objects of the class or class loader of interest.

        Performance: Fast to slow - on index; depending on the number and length of GC root paths.

        Specified by:
        getPathsFromGCRoots in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectId - object for which the GC root paths should be determined
        excludeList - a map specifying paths through which objects have to be avoided and not reported. Each entry in the map has the IClass as a key, and a Set<String> set, specifying which fields exactly from this key class have to be avoided. If for a key IClass the value (Set<String>) null is specified, then paths through any of the fields will be avoided
        Returns:
        interactive computer for paths from GC roots to the given object
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - if a problem occurs creating the paths computer
      • getMultiplePathsFromGCRoots

        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Returns an IMultiplePathsFromGCRootsComputer object, which can be used to calculate the shortest path from the GC roots to each of objects in the specified object set.
        Specified by:
        getMultiplePathsFromGCRoots in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - the IDs of the objects for which a shortest path has to be calculated
        excludeList - a map specifying paths through which objects have to be avoided and not reported. Each entry in the map has the IClass as a key, and a Set<String> set, specifying which fields exactly from this key class have to be avoided. If for a key IClass the value (Set<String>) null is specified, then paths through any of the fields will be avoided
        Returns:
        IMultiplePathsFromGCRootsComputer The object which can be used to carry out the actual computation and
        Throws:
        SnapshotException - if a problem occurs creating the paths computer

        public int[] getRetainedSet​(int[] objectIds,
                                    IProgressListener progressMonitor)

        Get retained set of objects for the given objects (including the given objects).

        The retained set includes the given objects and all objects which are lifetime-dependent on them, i.e. which would be garbage collected if the references to the given objects would be lost and the objects garbage collected.

        Performance: Usually extremely slow - on index; depending on the number of objects and the references (deep).

                                       SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Calculate the minimum retained size for the given objects. Works much faster than getting the min. retained set by getMinRetainedSet() and calculating the size of the min. retained set.
        Specified by:
        getMinRetainedSize in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - objects on which the minimum retained set should be determined
        progressMonitor - progress listener informing about the current state of execution
        Returns:
        the minimum retained set of objects for the given objects
        Throws:
        SnapshotException
        UnsupportedOperationException
      • getMinRetainedSet

        public int[] getMinRetainedSet​(int[] objectIds,

        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Calculate the minimum retained set of objects for the given objects (including the given objects).

        The minimum retained set includes the given objects and the union of the retained sets for each of the given objects (see getRetainedSet() for an explanation of a retained set). The union of the retained sets of the single objects is potentially smaller than the retained set of all of them, because some objects which are shared between two of the given objects may not appear in the retained set of any of the single objects, but will appear in the retained set if we take them as a whole. Because of it's faster performance the method is suitable to "mine" for a potentially big retained set (e.g. execute this method for all class loaders and see for potentially big ones). One can use the getRetainedSet() method afterwards to get the correct retained set.

        Performance: Usually fast - for smaller sets this method is much faster than getRetainedSet

        Specified by:
        getMinRetainedSet in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - objects on which the minimum retained set should be determined
        progressMonitor - progress listener informing about the current state of execution
        Returns:
        the minimum retained set of objects for the given objects
        Throws:
        SnapshotException

        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get the top-ancestors in the dominator tree from the supplied objectIds. The result will be a list of objects (int[]), such that no object from the return list is parent of another object in the returned list. I.e. from a list of objects this method will return only the ones which are independent on one another. It is then correct to sum the retained sizes of the returned objects.
        Specified by:
        getTopAncestorsInDominatorTree in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - the objects for which the top-ancestors in the Dominator tree have to be found

        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get object which directly dominates the given object, i.e. the object which controls the life-time of the given object (not recursively, so just the directly controlling object), i.e. the object which would cause the given object to be collected as garbage if it would be gone from the heap.
        Specified by:
        getImmediateDominatorId in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectId - object for which the directly dominated objects should be returned

                                          throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get a summary of the dominators for all the given objects. The summary can be viewed on grouped by classes or class loaders

        If an exclude pattern is provided, instead of returning the immediate dominator right away, its class name will be checked against the exclude pattern. If it matches the pattern, the dominator of this dominator will be taken and checked, and so on ... until a dominator not matching the pattern is found or the dominator tree root is reached.

        getDominatorsOf in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - the objects for which we want the dominator summary (e.g. all objects of a given class)

      • getHeapSize

        public long getHeapSize​(int objectId)
                         throws SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get heap size for just the given object. new long[Integer.MAX_VALUE] is bigger than Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes, so this method now returns a long

        Performance: Usually fast - in memory for non-array objects and single index operation for array objects.

        Specified by:
        getHeapSize in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectId - id of object for which you want the heap size for
        Returns:
        heap size for the given object.
        Throws:

      • getHeapSize

        public long getHeapSize​(int[] objectIds)
                         throws UnsupportedOperationException,
                                SnapshotException
        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get the total shallow heap size for a set of objects.

        Performance: Relatively fast - using this method to calculate the total size of a set of objects is much faster than iterating over the ids and calling getHeapSize for each single object

        Specified by:
        getHeapSize in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectIds - ids of the objects for which you want the heap size for
        Returns:
        total heap size for the given object set
        Throws:
        SnapshotException
        UnsupportedOperationException

        Description copied from interface: ISnapshot
        Get retained heap size for the given object.

        The retained heap size is the memory which would be freed if all references to the given object would be released. It is extracted from the dominator tree and isn't available if the dominator tree isn't available itself.

        Performance: Relatively fast - single index operation.

        Specified by:
        getRetainedHeapSize in interface ISnapshot
        Parameters:
        objectId - id of object for which you want the retained heap size for
        Returns:
        retained heap size for the given object or 0 if no dominator tree was calculated
        Throws:
        SnapshotException
