This image illustrates the process of “Memory Leak Checking”. The main components and steps are as follows:
- Process Is Started:
- When a process starts, it connects through an API to a “Like Virtual Machine” environment.
- In this environment, “Hooking” techniques are employed.
- Process Is Running:
- The running process generates a “Software Interrupt” through the API.
- There’s “Tracking syscall with Ptrace()” occurring at this stage.
- Memory :
- Functions related to memory allocation, modification, and deallocation (such as malloc(), calloc(), free()) are called.
- Memory Leakage Management:
- This component tracks memory Changes and Status.
- OS kernel:
- OS kernel parameters about memory are involved in the process.
The diagram shows the overall process of detecting and managing memory leaks. It demonstrates how memory leaks are systematically monitored and managed from the start of a process, through its execution, memory management, and interaction with the operating system.
This diagram effectively visualizes the complex process of memory leak checking, showing how different components interact to monitor and manage memory usage in a running process.
