934015 - (long-term-leaks) Finding long term memory leaks

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Axel Kratel]

As a app/web developer I would like to find memory leaks over longer periods of time (>5 min) without having to run a recording so that I can find memory leaks without having to fill up my hard drive with excessive data that I don't need.

Acceptance criteria: 
- Be able to take heap snapshots
- be able to do diffs on the snapshots and find deltas on object counts

Note: related to short term memory leak finds, different from that user story in that in this case, the goal is to find out if there are memory leaks over longer periods of time.

This is not a duplicate, this is a user story that is there to track 625846 and others. Bug 625846 is just a bug that says we need a tool that Google has, that's not how we want to approach the problem if we want to come up with superior and better ways of doing this.

I dup'd it becaue comment 0 and bug 625846 comment 11 are almost identical.  But if you want to have two bugs open for vague, almost-identical descriptions of heap analysis tools, I won't stop you.
