Parse OpenJDK class histograms in the GC log files #183

Open rillig-nm opened 7 years ago

rillig-nm commented 7 years ago

When an OpenJDK VM is started with --XX:+PrintClassHistogramBeforeFullGC or -XX:+PrintClassHistogramAfterFullGC, the GC log contains many lines of class histograms.

The parser currently cannot parse them, which leads to a lot of parse errors.

The class histograms look like this:

193.647: [GC (Allocation Failure)  311936K->299240K(544128K), 0.0032713 secs]

The printClassHistogram options look like very verbose debug options, which usually make parsing of the file quite difficult. I personally have rather little priority on supporting the very verbose options and prefer to start support for jdk 9 logs in the little time I have.

looks like a duplicate of #152

rillig-nm commented 7 years ago

It's not an exact duplicate. I only wish the parser would skip the class histograms, while in #152 there is a wish for displaying diffs of histograms. Just skipping them should be pretty easy.
