I've been using tptp for memory profiling over the last two weeks and have
a couple of issues to ask you about.
I've worked through the example in the tptp documentation and another
example available from IBM online in addition to profiling TELIS. In all
cases I've found that the techniques for detecting memory leaks don't
appear to function as expected.
When working with memory statistics, when we run garbage collection to
collect all unreferenced objects we see no effect in the tptp views.
However if I insert code in the same examples to explicitly call garbage
collection I see the number of live instances decrease. This makes it
difficult for us to trust the information that we are getting back from
memory analysis, etc.
Also we have experienced problems with TPTP becoming unresponsive after it
has been left idle for a period of time. In addition if I try to reset the
collected data so that I'm looking at new data from that point on I find
that profiling monitor is no longer usable and I need to restart my
profiling session.
My overall feel for the tool at this point is that it is very useful for
debugging and examining the runtime behaviour of an application but less
useful for profiling memory usage.
I am hoping I am wrong.........................Can anyone help??? Thanks

Unfortunately the "run garbage collection" button isn't currently working
in TPTP. Here's the defect:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=133954 which is targetted
for the 4.3 release. Feel free to add yourself to the CC list.

Once again Navid....Thanks!
Do you know of any issues regarding the second problem:
"Also we have experienced problems with TPTP becoming unresponsive after
it has been left idle for a period of time. In addition if I try to reset
the collected data so that I'm looking at new data from that point on I
find that profiling monitor is no longer usable and I need to restart my
profiling session."
Thanks!

Hi Gary,
You need to provide the exact use case for this before I can help you out.
How are you resetting the collected data? What is it that you leave idle
for a while? the workbench? Agent Controller? or both?

The problem with tptp becoming unresponsive if left idle was experienced
by the two summer students and unfortunately they left last week but if I
experience this I will let you know. From talking to them it was the
eclipse workbench that was left idle.
On the second issue, in the "Profiling monitor" view when I select "Reset
data" from the context menu I find that the profiling monitor is no longer
usable.
Cheers!

Hi Gary,
I couldn't reproduce the problem with a 4.2.1 driver. Note that instead
of "Reset Data", you can also use the "Detach from Agent" and "Attach to
Agent" options. This is essentially what "Reset Data" does. Try using
those instead. I think it's an unnecessary option and I'll probably open
a defect to have it removed.
I didn't try leaving my workbench idle for a while. I'll try and look
into that later.
