Heap Inspection Tool

You can access this diagnostic tool for interactively killed programs from the SIGQUIT handler menu. It will find memory leaks in your programs. A memory leak occurs when a program inadvertently retains objects, preventing the garbage collector from reclaiming the memory. Heap inspection presents a per-class breakdown of the objects in the heap, sorted by total amount of memory consumed. You can then examine reference chains to selected objects to see what is keeping them alive.
