SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires leaks, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps in capturing and inspecting iOS leaks and memgraphs, aiding in debugging memory leaks, retain cycles, and memory growth.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture Memory Graphs: Extract memory graphs from live simulator processes or existing .memgraph files.
  • Summarize Leaks: Summarize leaks from memory graphs with detailed information.
  • Inspect Ownership: Inspect ownership of leaked types to identify root causes of memory leaks.
  • Report Proof: Generate reports with before/after leak counts, disappeared root types, and remaining leaks.

Quick Start

Use the ios-memgraph-leaks skill to capture a memory graph from the running simulator process for the app with bundle identifier 'com.example.app'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect memory leaks and retain cycles in an iOS simulator process?

You can capture memory graphs directly from live iOS simulator processes or analyze existing .memgraph files. The Skill summarizes leaks and inspects ownership of leaked types to identify root causes of retain cycles and memory growth.

Can I analyze existing .memgraph files to diagnose iOS memory leaks?

Yes, you can analyze existing .memgraph files to diagnose iOS memory leaks. The Skill processes these files to summarize leak information and inspect object ownership, helping you identify the root causes of memory-related issues without a live process.

Do I need the leaks tool to capture iOS memory graphs for debugging?

Yes, the leaks tool is required to capture memory graphs from iOS simulator processes. Once captured, Python scripts summarize and inspect the leaks to diagnose memory-related issues like retain cycles and memory growth in your app.

How do I inspect the ownership of leaked types to find the root cause of memory leaks?

To inspect ownership of leaked types, analyze the captured memory graph using the provided Python scripts. This process identifies which objects retain the leaked memory, helping you pinpoint the exact retain cycle causing the iOS memory leak.

What's the best way to report before and after leak counts when fixing iOS memory issues?

The best way to report before and after leak counts is by generating a report that compares memory graphs. This shows disappeared root types and remaining leaks, providing proof that your iOS memory leak fixes resolved the retain cycles.
