memory_watcher is a library that can be linked into chromium to trace the
|
||
|
|
memory allocations. It works by hooking the system allocation/deallocation
|
||
|
|
functions, and recording the actions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use memory_watcher in chromium:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Compile the memory_watcher library (it is part of the solution by default)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) Run chromium with these flags "--memory-profile -no-sandbox"
|
||
|
|
(The instrumentation doesn't work with the sandbox)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) Hit ctrl-alt-D to generate a dump of the memory allocations.
|
||
|
|
This will create a log file called memorywatcher.logXXXX for every
|
||
|
|
chromium process (where XXXX is the pid).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The log file is a human readable text format, which can be further analyzed
|
||
|
|
using the helpers in the "scripts/" directory.
