Example 8

Example 8: Recording heap allocations

Analyze the impact of closures on memory. See Demo webpage: Example 8: Recording heap allocations in Record heap snapshots using the Memory tool ("Heap snapshot" profiling type).

See that eval retains a reference on all the variables of the closure.

1. Start to record heap allocations
2. Start the creation of new closures
3. Analyze what happens

Closures maintain hold on large string

Closures maintain hold only on small strings

Closures with eval

Stop and clear
