allocation-instrumenter
A Java agent that instruments every allocation site in your program, invoking custom callbacks for detailed memory tracking.
What is allocation-instrumenter?
Allocation Instrumenter is a Java agent that instruments bytecode to track every object allocation in a Java program. It allows developers to attach custom callbacks to allocation events, providing detailed insights into memory usage and enabling advanced profiling and monitoring. The tool operates at the bytecode level using ASM and the java.lang.instrument API, requiring no modifications to the source code.
Java developers and performance engineers who need to analyze memory allocation patterns, debug memory issues, or build custom profiling tools for JVM-based applications.
It offers a flexible, low-overhead solution for fine-grained allocation tracking without altering source code, distinguishing itself from heavier profiling tools by enabling custom, programmatic control over allocation monitoring.
