Writing Heap Information: dheap –export

You may want to write the information that MemoryScape collects about your program to disk so that you can examine it at a later time. Or, you may want to save information from different sessions so that you can compare changes that you’ve made.

You can save MemoryScape information by using the dheap –export command. This command has two sets of options: one contain options you must specify, the other contains options that are optional. In all cases, you must use the:

–output option to name the file to which MemoryScape writes information.

–data option to name which data MemoryScape includes.

For example:

dheap –export –output heap.txt –data leaks

You can also add –set_show_code and –set_show_backtraces. These options are most often used to restrict the amount of information that MemoryScape displays. You can also use the –check_interior option to tell MemoryScape that if a pointer is pointing into a block instead of at the block’s beginning, then the block shouldn’t be considered as being leaked.
