Hi,
I am using TPTP 4.0.0 to try and find a memory leak which shows up after
a long time of running tests.
I can see one class of object that has more than the number of expected
instances, but I can't find out how to get the stack trace of where
these instances are allocated (or at least which objects point to these
instances).
I looked at the documentation that is around and see that enabling
instance level object collection should show at least some of this
information. I have tried to do that, but the number of references and
details columns in the object references view are consistently blank,
and each line of object reference never has subordinate objects.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks,
Francis

Hi Francis,
Yes, Object reference information can be collected while your application
under profile is live running, via 'Collect Object Reference' action in
Profile Monitor View action toolbar or under context menu of Process in the
Monitor View. These are the only way to collect object reference
information, and there is no automatic object reference collection support
in TPTP.
After you perform a collect object reference action, please refresh the
Object Reference view to show the most updated information. Please note that
Object Reference view can shown either 'Reference To' or 'Reference By'
orientation, via the drop down button of the view toolbar.
Hope this help.
Eugene

So, this seems to imply that you only get a snapshot of the references
sometime around the time you push the button. Is this correct, or does
this button somehow cause reference reporting to continue from that
point on?

Hi.
Yes. It is a snapshot of the object reference at the moment you ask to
collect the information. It does not do continuous collection of object
reference information.
