Using Saved State Information
You can use saved state information in two ways:
• In many cases, you’ll begin using saved state information in a Compare Memory Report.
• You can use saved state information in exactly the same way as state information for the currently executing program. That is, generate reports from the saved state information in exactly the same way as you would from an executing program.
MemoryScape saves a great deal of information in the saved state file. This means that you can compare the saved state information against an executing program or against other saved and recalled state information. You can also generate any report that you can generate from live state information. For example, you can display a Leak Source report based on the saved state information.
The sole difference between a live program and data from saved stated information is that MemoryScape displays a disk icon
next to the file’s name.
