Object Introspection: A C++ Memory Profiler - Lecture

Explore a groundbreaking open-source technology for Linux in this CppCon 2023 conference talk. Discover how to observe the precise memory footprint and composition of C++ objects in live applications, including containers and dynamic memory allocations, without code modification or recompilation. Learn about two approaches for object introspection: a profiler for target processes and APIs for direct introspection within application code. Gain insights into the core technology, implementation details, and practical applications through code examples demonstrating efficiency improvements. Understand how this tool can elevate data observability to the same level as code, enabling more efficient memory and CPU utilization in C++ applications.
