[Caml-list] First public release of the OCaml Memory Profiler

[Çagdas Bozman]

Hi,

   On behalf of the OCamlPro team, I am pleased to announce the public
release of the OCaml Memory Profiler. This tool suite inspects the
memory of OCaml applications at run-time to produce various offline
reports on its usage.

Usage: http://memprof.typerex.org/free-version.php

Commercial: http://memprof.typerex.org/commercial-version.php

   The OCaml Memory Profiler contains an enhanced OCaml distribution
(based on 4.01.0) that is used to build an instrumented version or your
OCaml applications. Instrumented programs can inspect their memory
on-demand to output memory dumps. These dumps contain the static
type and allocation site of all allocated values (among other information).
They are analyzed offline (outside of the application process) to produce
reports that are displayed in your browser (see the gallery of examples).

   The OCaml Memory Profiler comes in two different forms: an Online
Version and a Commercial Version.

The Online Version can be used by everyone, it provides an OPAM switch
and a tool, ocp-memprof. Once an application has been compiled in the
switch, ocp-memprof can be used to trigger the output of memory
snapshots, that are locally analyzed to generate a summary. The
summary is sent to our online servers to be displayed in the gallery
of examples.

The Commercial Version improves on the Online Version by removing the
need for the online servers: summaries can be displayed locally, to
provide complete development privacy. It also comes with support, to
install and execute the tool (Basic Support option), to help
understanding the results and fix applications (Advanced Support option)
and with access to the sources (Extended Support option). Other
additional features are available in the Commercial Version, such as
more precise root descriptions and more frequent updates.

Enjoy,
The OCamlPro Team
