hello,
i am from austria, so my english is not the best.
my question :
how work this tool?
can you give me a link to see more?
hello,
why nobody answers?
marek: see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333078, especially https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333078#c45, which links to a nice graph showing cycles that the collector finds.
The cycle collector is not an offline tool, it’s a garbage collector built into Gecko. So you’ll have to study the code, or try the patch and turn on the graph visualizer as graydon describes in the bug.
