heaptrack

Purpose

Guide agents through heaptrack for heap allocation profiling on Linux: recording allocation traces, analysing with heaptrack_print, identifying leaks and hotspots, and comparing runs.

Triggers

• "How do I find memory allocation hotspots in my C++ program?"
• "My program uses too much memory — how do I find where?"
• "How do I use heaptrack to detect memory leaks?"
• "What is heaptrack and how does it differ from Valgrind massif?"
• "How do I compare memory usage between two program versions?"
• "heaptrack_print output — how do I interpret it?"

Workflow
