Object List View Tab - Data Browser Window (Memory Profiling)

Illustration        Related Topics

If you collected data for objects, select View > Data Browser in the Purify menu, or click images\browsertool.gif and select the Object List View tab to display the object list.

The Object List View groups and displays objects as follows:

§          Before you open an Object Detail window for an object in the selected aggregate run or snapshot dataset, the Object List View displays all root objects in the selected dataset.

§          After you open an Object Detail window for an object in the selected dataset, the Object List View displays only the objects shown in the Object Reference Graph.

After you close the Object Detail window, the Object List View redisplays all root objects.

The Object List View can show the following information:

§          Object, class, and method names.

§          Number of referee objects, and references to other objects.

§          Current size of the object in bytes.

§          Object + references (O+R) size. (see Notes)

§          Creation time of the object and number of garbage collections survived.

§          If available, the approximate line number in source code where the object was created.

§          For a root object, the root type.

Notes:

§      By default, Purify does not collect detailed object data. To collect and view detailed object data, in the PowerCheck tab in the Settings for <exename> dialog box, select Generate Object Reference Graph data.

§      The Object Detail window is available only if Generate Object Reference Graph data was selected for the run.

§      The Object List view is available only if Generate Object Reference Graph data was selected for the run, and Show Object List View is selected in the Workspace tab of the Preferences dialog box .

§      The Object Detail window does not display for objects whose Root Type is Unreachable.
