Method Summary

Modifier and Type

Method

Description

Object[]

getAllPaths(IProgressListener progressListener)

Calculates (if not yet calculated) and returns all the paths.

MultiplePathsFromGCRootsRecord[]

getPathsByGCRoot(IProgressListener progressListener)

Calculates (if not yet calculated) and returns all the paths.

Method Details
- getPathsByGCRoot
  
  MultiplePathsFromGCRootsRecord[] getPathsByGCRoot(IProgressListener progressListener) throws SnapshotException
  
  Calculates (if not yet calculated) and returns all the paths. The paths are grouped by the GC root object, i.e. all paths starting from one and the same GC root will be packed in one MultiplePathsFromGCRootsRecord. This record can be used to get the objects at the next level in the path, etc...
  
  Parameters:
  
  progressListener - - used to track the progress of the computation
  
  Returns:
  
  MultiplePathsFromGCRootsRecord[] one record for each group of paths starting from the same GC root
  
  Throws:
  
  SnapshotException
- getAllPaths
  
  Object[] getAllPaths(IProgressListener progressListener) throws SnapshotException
  
  Calculates (if not yet calculated) and returns all the paths. Each element in the Object[] is an int[] representing the path. The first element in the int[] is the specified object, and the last is the GC root object
  
  Parameters:
  
  progressListener - - used to track the progress of the computation
  
  Returns:
  
  Object[] - each element in the array is an int[] representing a path
  
  Throws:
  
  SnapshotException
