Setting and Using Baselines

Use the Debug > Heap Baseline > Set Heap Baseline command in the Process Window to have MemoryScape mark the current memory state. After your program has been executing, use the Debug > Heap Baseline > Heap Change Summary command to see what has happened to memory since you created the baseline.

Pressing the New Allocations or New Leaks button displays more information.

Some reports within MemoryScape also have Relative to baseline buttons that allow you to limit the display to allocations and leaks occurring only since you set the baseline.
