Heaptrack

A heap memory profiler for Linux

Development

Not tested on a device yet. What that means

Heaptrack in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own heaptrack-gui package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Heaptrack should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Compilers and interpreters run on the device's own ARM64 processor, while containers and virtual machines, which need a kernel of their own, cannot run. More about development tools in Breadstick.

About Heaptrack

From the project's description

Heaptrack traces all memory allocations and annotates these events with stack traces. Dedicated analysis tools then allow you to interpret the heap memory profile to:

  • find hotspots that need to be optimized to reduce the memory footprint of your application
  • find memory leaks, i.e. locations that allocate memory which is never deallocated
  • find allocation hotspots, i.e. code locations that trigger a lot of memory allocation calls
  • find temporary allocations, which are allocations that are directly followed by their deallocation
