dotMemory

Profiling is an essential yet under-utilized aspect of building applications. We've all been there. In times of mounting pressure, we're more focused on shipping features and hoping we didn't add perceivable performance or memory issues to our app. If you're not familiar with dotTrace or dotMemory, now's a great time to learn more about them! In this post, we'll look at several ways to intr

dotMemory is a .NET memory profiler by JetBrains. My name is Ilya and I help develop the tool. I'd like to tell you a classical dogfooding story of how we optimized one of dotMemory's algorithms by using our own tools – dotMemory and dotTrace. We then improved it some more using dotTrace, and finished off the optimization process by using BenchmarkDotNet. I’d like to thank the authors of two

We’ve just released the 2022.1 versions of dotTrace, dotMemory, dotCover, and dotPeek. Take a look at what you can expect.  dotTrace 2022.1 The dotTrace command-line tool and dotTrace in Rider now support Alpine versions 3.13–3.15.You can now open NetTrace files collected with dotnet-trace collect. dotTrace supports SQL Server events from the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient prov

Hello everyone, Please welcome the first EAP build of ReSharper 2022.1! This iteration is a little different for us in terms of planning, and we thought it would make sense to share our plans with you. Our usual plan for the release is first to make features, then to fix bugs. Usually, we dedicate the first third, or even half, of the release time, to developing new features or reworking the

dotCover 2021.3, dotMemory 2021.3, dotPeek 2021.3, and dotTrace 2021.3 have been released and are ready for downloading!  Before diving into the feature set, we need to make an important announcement. Starting with the 2021.3 release, we have discontinued support for the x86 versions of dotMemory Standalone and dotMemory Portable. You can still use dotMemory x86 from the previous releases.

Hello everyone!  Today, we are happy to publish the Beta build for ReSharper and JetBrains .NET tools.  Let’s take a look at what’s included in the final feature set of our tools. ReSharper Support for Visual Studio 2022.More C# 10 features: file-scoped namespaces, global usings, the CallerArgumentExpression attribute, the “interpolated string handlers” concept, and C# 10

Starting with the next dotMemory Standalone 2021.3 release, we will no longer ship a 32-bit (x86) version. On 32-bit operating systems, you can capture snapshots using the dotMemory Command Line Tools, and analyze them with dotMemory on a 64-bit operating system. In this blog post, we’ll explain why we are making this change, and what it means for you. Why is this changing? To analyze mem

The State of Developer Ecosystem 2021 report is now available! It’s that time of year again, when JetBrains publishes the findings from our State of Developer Ecosystem Survey! For 2021, we’ve surveyed 31,743 developers from 183 countries or regions to see what are the latest trends and changes in the software development industry. We run this survey yearly for several years to track developer

Good news, everyone!  We are happy to announce the release of the 2021.2 versions of dotCover, dotMemory, dotTrace, and dotPeek. Before diving into the feature set we’ve added in this release, there are a couple of important notes:  Starting with the 2021.2 release of our .NET productivity tools, including dotCover, dotMemory, dotTrace, and dotPeek, we will require .NET Framewor

With the release of dotMemory 2021.2 around the corner, we thought we'd give you, our loyal JetBrains customers, a sneak peek at some new and exciting features. These newest improvements will make you become a memory maestro in no time! We re-worked the allocation analysis views. Allocations grouped by methods and by call tree add more powerful filter options, and show top allocated types and b

Memory issues can be challenging to diagnose, especially when we're under the stress of an extreme performance issue and unhappy users. Luckily, dotMemory 2021.1 users will appreciate the new and improved memory allocation analysis in our product's latest version. Using our new allocation analysis UI, we'll quickly locate those wasteful allocations bringing our application to a grinding halt. We'

Great news, Linux users! dotMemory 2021.1 now supports analyzing dumps collected using gcore and dotnet-dump for your Linux-hosted .NET applications. In this post, we'll explore how to use a Linux environment, Ubuntu, as our primary development environment using JetBrains Rider, take process dumps of our .NET applications, and investigate potential issues using dotMemory on Windows.
