Remote Heap Walker
Remote Heap Walker displays information about heap identifiers and flags for each process running on a target device. To display heap information in Remote Heap Walker, you must first connect to the target device with Platform Manager. For more information about connecting to a target device with Platform Manager, see Application Connectivity.
The Remote Heap Walker tool displays information about system memory that a process uses. The tool can help you to determine whether an application is releasing the memory that it allocates.
The following table shows the three windows of Remote Heap Walker.
| Window | Description |
|---|---|
| Process_List | Default window for Remote Heap Walker. This window shows the name of the flag associated with the default heap for each process. From this window, you can open a Heap_List window for each process. |
| Heap_List | Contains information about the selected process. A Fixed flag in this window means that the object cannot be discarded. A Free flag means that the object can be discarded. The terms fixed and free apply to a block within the heap. |
