The memory leak analysis views identify the objects that are likely to be leaked memory. This information allows you to correct your code and fix the leak.
Prerequisite: Generating a list of leak candidates
The Leak Candidates view displays the most likely leaks that occurred during between the two heap dumps that you analyzed. These candidates are objects within the heap (such as arrays, vectors, and session classes). Each candidate is assigned a likelihood value between 1 and 100 (100 is assigned to the most likely candidate); the view displays only candidates with a value above the threshold value that you assigned. The view identifies the root of the leak (the object that is holding references to the potentially leaked objects), the container of the leaked object, and the type of leaked object. It also indicates the number of leaks, the number of bytes leaked, and the number of objects leaked (that is, objects currently held by the leaking objects).
