VMMap

Tracing

You can have VMMap automatically take snapshots and capture a trace of several memory-related operations by opening the process selection dialog, switching to the Launch and Trace a New Program page, and entering the executable's path and command-line options. VMMap will generate snapshots at the interval configured in the Trace Snapshot Interval menu of the Options menu.

 

In addition, it will use Detours DLL injection library to instrument the heap and virtual allocation functions executed by the process. You can view the history of all recorded operations by opening the Trace history dialog using the Trace button on the main window. To view operations related to a particular heap region, select the heap block in the details pane and then click the Heap Allocations button. The Calltree button will show the call stacks of all places in the process from which the recorded memory allocations were made. Just like for manual snapshots, you can open the Timeline window to see the history of the process's execution, select particular snapshots for viewing, or select two snapshots to see the differences.
