Analyze Object Sets

An object set is a number of objects grouped by a specific condition. For example, all objects from Gen 2, or all objects retained by some other particular object, or all objects allocated by a specific call, and so on.

The object set is a main subject of your investigation. To help you analyze object sets, dotMemory can present them in a number of views described in this section:

• Group by Types

• Group by Dominators

• Group by Similar Retention

• Group by Instances

• Group by Creation Stack Trace

  • Group by Call Tree

  • Group by Call Tree (Icicle Chart)

  • Group by Back Traces

• Group by Generations

• Group by Shortest Paths
