  • Patent number: 9459991
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for heap dump object identification in a heap dump analysis tool. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for heap dump object identification in a heap dump analysis tool can be provided. The method can include instrumenting an object with a uniquely identifiable marker, instantiating the instrumented object in a virtual machine executing in memory by a processor of a host computer and triggering a heap dump in the virtual machine. The method also can include parsing a heap dump file resulting from the triggered heap dump to locate a reference to the uniquely identifiable marker. Finally, the method can include displaying an association between the object and the heap dump file in a heap dump analysis tool executing in the memory by the processor of the host computer.
