Mark object feature

Post by harmony »

Hey YourKit team, loving the product so far! I had an idea for a new feature that could be super useful.

Imagine being able to tag specific objects in a heap dump, kind of like how you can label stuff during debugging in IntelliJ. Then, whenever you see that object in the YourKit UI, the label would be there too.

This would be a game-changer for situations where we have a bunch of tiny objects all pointing to the same big one. With labels, we could instantly see what makes each small object unique and what's shared with the others. Way easier to analyze!

What do you think about that?

Regards, Denis

This is a brilliant idea! In fact, it has been in our bug tracker for many years. I've increased the priority of this feature request.
