<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The MemSpy Carbide.c++ Extension is a tool for importing heap dumps and System Wide Memory Tracking logs from a device to a PC for analysis with Heap Analyser or SWMT Analyser. The MemSpy S60 application is used to track memory usage in a device at specified time intervals and produce the heap dump and SWMT log files.</p><p>By using the MemSpy S60 application and Carbide.c++ extension you can analyze:</p>
<ul>
<li>how much RAM a process or thread is using,</li>
<li>how much stack each thread has,</li>
<li>which objects are active for a given thread,</li>
<li>which files are open in a system or which files have been opened by a thread,</li>
<li>what is the device RAM / ROM configuration,</li>
<li>which servers are running (with which sessions),</li>
<li>what memory chunks exist,</li>
<li>how to track heap memory changes over time, and</li>
<li>which bitmaps are loaded by the font and bitmap server.</li>
</ul>
