In this article we’ll focus on techniques that will enable you to address memory leaks with any commercial or free/open source memory profiler; we’re not here to recommend one tool over another. After all, the most important thing is that you fix the problem and get some rest, not the tool you use to get it done.
Ever heard the story about how Java has “automatic memory management”—you know, the one that someone in marketing upgraded to an epic tale about how you’ll never have to worry about memory leaks ever again? As is often the case, the truth is more complex than the marketing department made it out to be. While it’s true that Java’s garbage collector (GC) helps to eliminate the most common memory leak issues from applications, it is unfortunately still possible to experience memory leaks in Java. However, they happen a lot less often than they used to in the C or C++ days.
Many people believe that black magic and complex tools are required to fix memory leaks. This undeserved reputation is caused by the lack of good explanations of what they are and what to do when you encounter them. But with the proper tools and knowledge to fix memory leaks, they aren’t nearly as intimidating.
