<h2>Parent Binary</h2>
<p>The Parent Binary view is effectively the same as the <strong>Object
Type</strong> view, except that instead of displaying each object’s type,
it displays the name of the object file that defined that type’s
<em>vtable</em>.</p>
<p>What this view does not do is record the logical allocation point of an
object, since that is simply not recoverable from the information available.
For example, if some of your own code contains a <em>CFoo::NewL()</em> where
<em>CFoo</em> is imported from a dll, then it will be an object file in the dll
that is displayed for the resulting allocated cell, not the object file
containing the call to <em>NewL</em>.</p>
<p>This view can be useful to quickly find a module that is contributing into a
heap objects that are unexpectedly large, or that you do not expect to be
there.</p>
