.NET memory data views

Applies to: Visual Studio Visual Studio for Mac

This section contains reference information for the views and reports of profiler data files that contains .NET memory profiling data.

In this section

• Summary View

Lists the functions and types that allocated the most memory.

• Allocations View

Lists the types that were allocated in the profiling run, and the call trees (execution paths) that resulted in the allocation of the type.

• Object Lifetime View

Lists the types that were allocated in the profiling run, and the number of instances, size in bytes, and the garbage collection generation of the type.

• Call Tree View - Sampling

Displays a hierarchical tree that represents the execution paths and memory allocation data of functions in the profiling run.

• Modules View - Sampling

Organizes .NET memory allocation data by module, and lists the functions, source code lines, and instructions that were executing when memory was allocated.

• Caller/Callee View - .NET Memory Sampling Data

Lists memory allocation data for a selected function, the functions that called the selected function, and the functions that were called by the selected function.

• Functions View - Sampling

Lists memory allocation data for the functions in the profiling run.

• Lines View - Sampling

Lists memory allocation data for the source code lines of functions in the profiling run.

• Instruction Pointers (IPs) View - Sampling

Lists memory allocation data for the instructions of functions in the profiling run.

• Call Tree View - Instrumentation

Displays a hierarchical tree that represents the execution paths, memory allocation data, and detailed timing data for instrumented functions in the profiling run.

• Modules View - Instrumentation

Organizes profiling data by module, and lists the functions, memory allocation data, and detailed timing information for the module.

• Caller/Callee View - NET Memory Instrumentation Data

Lists memory allocation data and detailed timing information for a selected instrumented function, the functions that called the selected function, and the functions that were called by the selected function.

• Functions View - Instrumentation

Lists memory allocation data for the instrumented functions in the profiling run.

Reference

• Function Details View

Displays a graphical chart of the relationship between a selected function and the functions that called and were called by the selected function.

• Process View

Lists process and thread start and end times.

• Marks View

Lists ETW and sampling events that were inserted into a profiling data file.
