Abstract. The effectiveness of garbage collectors and leak detectors in identifying dead objects depends on the “accuracy” of their reachability traversal. Accuracy has two ort...
ct In the past, program monitoring often operates at the code level, performing checks at function and loop boundaries. Recent research shows that profiling analysis can identify ...
A memory leak in a garbage-collected program occurs when the program inadvertently maintains references to objects that it no longer needs. Memory leaks cause systematic heap grow...
Managed languages improve programmer productivity with type safety and garbage collection, which eliminate memory errors such as dangling pointers, double frees, and buffer overfl...
