DevTools: restore the dominators view |
|||
Issue descriptionWe removed it because we thought it was never used. It comes up so frequently that it seems that the majority of people doing memory debugging wants that view. It seems like we're already calculating it, but just not exposing it in the UI. Can we restore? FWIW, our CL removing dominators from the tool (june 2014): https://codereview.chromium.org/352603003 Attached is FF's dominators view

Do you have a success story from people using it? I remember the view was very frustrating and hard to explain.

Old comments on Firefox's memory tools launch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10553899) > It does not seem to support a dominator tree view. That will be missed for serious investigations. > Chrome's tool supports a dominator tree view. Sorry, also I'm excited to see a memory usage tool for firefox is now available. Supporting a dominator tree view is IMHO a crucial feature you will need sooner or later for investigating memory usage issues. The predecessor to the Eclipse Memory Analyzer had that in 2006/2007. Dominators being central to the canonical walkthrough of Eclipse's memory profiler: http://memoryanalyzer.blogspot.com/2008/05/automated-heap-dump-analysis-finding.html WebKit takes a moment to introduce them alongside their brand new tools: https://webkit.org/blog/6425/memory-debugging-with-web-inspector/ Aside from this, it's something I've heard frequently from devs. Sam the Hat has used it and found it valuable.
