Constructors​

Constructor​

new BaseAnalysis(): BaseAnalysis

Returns​

BaseAnalysis

Inherited from​

Analysis.constructor

Methods​

analyzeSnapshotFromFile()​

analyzeSnapshotFromFile(file, options): Promise\<AnalyzeSnapshotResult>

Defined in: heap-analysis/src/BaseAnalysis.ts:95

Run heap analysis for a single heap snapshot file

Parameters​

file​

string

the absolute path of a .heapsnapshot file.

options​

RunHeapAnalysisOptions = {}

optional configuration for the heap analysis run

Returns​

Promise\<AnalyzeSnapshotResult>

this API returns AnalyzeSnapshotResult, which contains the logging file of analysis console output. Alternatively, to get more structured analysis results, check out the documentation of the hosting heap analysis class and call the analysis-specific API to get results after calling this method.

  • Example:
const analysis = new StringAnalysis();
// analysis console output is saved in result.analysisOutputFile
const result = await analysis.analyzeSnapshotFromFile(snapshotFile);
// query analysis-specific and structured results
const stringPatterns = analysis.getTopDuplicatedStringsInCount();

Additionally, you can specify a working directory to where the intermediate, logging, and final output files will be dumped:

const analysis = new StringAnalysis();
// analysis console output is saved in result.analysisOutputFile
// which is inside the specified working directory
const result = await analysis.analyzeSnapshotFromFile(snapshotFile, {
  // if the specified directory doesn't exist, memlab will create it
  workDir: '/tmp/your/work/dir',
});

Analysis.analyzeSnapshotFromFile

analyzeSnapshotsInDirectory()​

analyzeSnapshotsInDirectory(directory, options): Promise\<AnalyzeSnapshotResult>

Defined in: heap-analysis/src/BaseAnalysis.ts:148

Run heap analysis for a series of heap snapshot files

Parameters​

directory​

string

the absolute path of the directory holding a series of .heapsnapshot files, all snapshot files will be loaded and analyzed in the alphanumerically ascending order of those snapshot file names.

options​

RunHeapAnalysisOptions = {}

optional configuration for the heap analysis run

Returns​

Promise\<AnalyzeSnapshotResult>

this API returns AnalyzeSnapshotResult, which contains the logging file of analysis console output. Alternatively, to get more structured analysis results, check out the documentation of the hosting heap analysis class and call the analysis-specific API to get results after calling this method.

  • Example:
const analysis = new ShapeUnboundGrowthAnalysis();
// analysis console output is saved in result.analysisOutputFile
const result = await analysis.analyzeSnapshotsInDirectory(snapshotDirectory);
// query analysis-specific and structured results
const shapes = analysis.getShapesWithUnboundGrowth();
  • Additionally, you can specify a working directory to where the intermediate, logging, and final output files will be dumped:
const analysis = new ShapeUnboundGrowthAnalysis();
// analysis console output is saved in result.analysisOutputFile
// which is inside the specified working directory
const result = await analysis.analyzeSnapshotsInDirectory(snapshotDirectory, {
  // if the specified directory doesn't exist, memlab will create it
  workDir: '/tmp/your/work/dir',
});

getCommandName()​

getCommandName(): string

Defined in: heap-analysis/src/BaseAnalysis.ts:189

Get the name of the heap analysis, which is also used to reference the analysis in memlab command-line tool.

The following terminal command will initiate with this analysis: memlab analyze <ANALYSIS_NAME>

Returns​

string

the name of the analysis

  • Examples:
const analysis = new YourAnalysis();
const name = analysis.getCommandName();

getDescription()​

getDescription(): string

Defined in: heap-analysis/src/BaseAnalysis.ts:201

Get the textual description of the heap analysis. The description of this analysis will be printed by: memlab analyze list

Returns​

string

the description

getOptions()​

getOptions(): BaseOption[]

Defined in: heap-analysis/src/BaseAnalysis.ts:228

override this method if you would like CLI to print the option info

Returns​

BaseOption[]

an array of command line options

process()​

process(options): Promise\<any>

Defined in: heap-analysis/src/BaseAnalysis.ts:216

Callback for memlab analyze <command-name>. Do the memory analysis and print results in this callback The analysis should support: 1) printing results on screen 2) returning results via the return value

Parameters​

options​

HeapAnalysisOptions

This is the auto-generated arguments passed to all the process method that your self-defined heap analysis should implement. You are not supposed to construct instances of this class.

Returns​

Promise\<any>

Overrides​

Analysis.process
