Original Kurzfassung:
Efficiently tracking an application's object allocations is of interest for areas such as memory leak detection or memory usage optimization. The state-of-the-art approach of instrumenting every allocation site with a counter introduces considerable overhead. This makes allocation tracking in a production environment unattractive. Our approach reduces this overhead by instrumenting control flow paths instead of allocation sites and dynamically determining the hot path through a method. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of required counter increments by such a degree that using it in production environments becomes feasible. We present an implementation of our approach for the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine. First measurements already show a reduction of required increments of up to 30% compared to the state of the art.
