Tree

The Group by Dominators | Tree view shows the tree of dominators for the selected object set. Use this view to identify the key objects of your application - objects that retain the major part of allocated memory.

The tree list of dominators consists of the following columns:

NameDescription
Type Type name.
The number left to the type name shows how many objects of that type are retained that way. For example, elements of some array of integers A are retained in the exact same way (A -> element), but elements of the other integer array B have another retention path (B -> element).
Objects count The number of objects that are dominated by the dominator.
Bytes The overall size of exclusively retained objects in bytes.
