[news.eclipse.technology.memory-analyzer] Re: Analyser 'loosing' over half of the used memory

Hi Matthew,

both message to the log are only informational. The first message tells the number of objects during found during parsing, the second means that the leak suspect report utilizes sampling.

What does the Memory Analyzer do? Well, it removes the objects which are not reachable. Usually, those comprise only a minor percentage and are leftovers of optimization done by the Garbage Collector.

You have two possibilities (described in a little more detail on the FAQ page): Either look at the histogram of unreachable objects or (during the initial parsing) let MAT mark those objects as pseudo GC roots and therefore prevent their removal.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/MemoryAnalyzer/FAQ#How_to_analyse_unreachable_objects

What is the number of objects removed versus the number of objects kept alive in your heap dump? The first one you find via "Java Basics" -> "Unreachable Histogram", the second one is the total in of objects in the default histogram.
