Heap Walker - Reference View

   

  The heap walker reference view conforms to the basic layout of all heap walker views. Also see the help on key concepts for the entire heap walker.
  The reference view of the heap walker offers three view modes that can be changed in the combo box at the top of the view:
  • Outgoing references
    Shows a tree of the outgoing references separately from all objects in the current object set.
  • Incoming references
    Shows a tree of the incoming references separately to all objects in the current object set.
  • Cumulated incoming references
    Shows a tree-table of the cumulated references that hold the objects in the current object set.
  • Cumulated outgoing references
    Shows a tree-table of the cumulated references that originate from objects in the current object set.

The reference view helps you to find memory leaks. Please note the "Show path to GC root" functionality in the incoming references for this purpose.
