rawheap-translator

When to Use

To facilitate fault locating, applications automatically generate heap dump files in the case of ArkTS OOM errors. The VM scans and saves all object information on the current heap and generates .rawheap files in binary format. You can use the rawheap_translator tool (available in the toolchains directory of the SDK) to parse the files and convert them into .heapsnapshot files, which can be opened on DevEco Studio.

Operation Guide

How to Obtain

The rawheap_translator tool is compatible with OHOS, Windows, Linux, and macOS. You can obtain it from either of the following directories:

  • From the /bin/rawheap_translator path on OHOS devices.

  • From the toolchains directory of the SDK in other platforms.

Environment Configuration

  • On Windows:

Choose This PC > Properties > Advanced system settings > Advanced > Environment Variables > Path > Edit, and input the path of rawheap_translator.exe. After that, restart the PC, and run the hilogtool command in the cmd window.

  • On macOS:

    1. Start the terminal tool and run the following command:

echo $SHELL

a. If the command output is /bin/bash, open the .bash_profile file.

vi ~/.bash_profile

b. If the command output is /bin/zsh, open the .zshrc file.

vi ~/.zshrc

  1. Press i to enter the Insert mode.

  2. Add the path of rawheap_translator.exe:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/rawheap_translator

  1. Press Esc to exit the edit mode, and then enter :wq and press Enter to save the settings and exit.

  2. Run the following command for the environment variable to take effect.

a. If the .bash_profile file is opened in step a, run the following command:

source ~/.bash_profile

b. If the .zshrc file is opened in step a, run the following command:

source ~/.zshrc

  1. After the environment variable configuration is finished, restart the PC.

How to Use

Parsing Command

rawheap_translator <rawheap_file> [heapsnapshot_file]

Parameters

Parameter Description Example
<rawheap_file> (Mandatory) Path of the .rawheap file generated upon an OOM error:
/data/log/reliability/resource_leak/memory_leak
Parse the .rawheap file in the specified directory D:\temp\rawheap:
rawheap_translator D:\temp\rawheap\xxx.rawheap
Parse the .rawheap file in the current directory:
rawheap_translator xxx.rawheap
[heapsnapshot_file] (Optional) Specifies the name and path of the generated file. The file name extension must be heapsnapshot.
If this parameter is not specified, the current path is used by default. An example of the generated file name is hprof_2024-11-19-21-13-20.heapsnapshot.
Parse the .rawheap file in the current directory and generate the .heapsnapshot in the specified path D:\temp:
rawheap_translator xxx.rawheap D:\temp\xxx.heapsnapshot
Parse the .rawheap file in the current directory and generate the .heapsnapshot in the current directory:
rawheap_translator xxx.rawheap xxx.heapsnapshot

NOTE

The value of [heapsnapshot_file] must be specified to a path that has the read and write permissions. If this parameter is not specified, ensure that the directory where the command is executed has the read and write permissions.
For example, when running the D:>…\rawheap_translator.exe…\example.rawheap command on Windows, ensure that the *D:* path has the read and write permissions.

Examples of Using Parsing Commands

On OHOS

Run the hdc shell command to start the parsing tool in /bin/rawheap_translator. You are advised to specify the path of the .heapsnapshot file to /data/local/tmp, as you may not have the write permission on other paths.

> hdc shell /bin/rawheap_translator /data/log/reliability/resource_leak/memory_leak/memleak-js-com.example.myapplication-7979-7979-20241215191332.rawheap /data/local/tmp/myapplication-7979-7979.heapsnapshot

File Specifications

As shown in the following table, in the OOM scenario, when the ArkTS heap memory usage is high and the number of live objects is large, the time required for generating the .rawheap file is long, and the file size is also large. You can subscribe to the resource leak events and customize the event processing logic.

To determine the performance and traffic overhead caused by reporting the .rawheap file to the server, you can refer to the following table to obtain the size of the compressed .rawheap file. Generally, the compression ratio is 10:1 and varies depending on the compression tool in use.

ArkTS Heap Memory Size (MB) Number of Live Objects File Generation Duration (s) .rawheap File Size (MB) Compressed File Size (MB)
11.00 99812 0.08 7.00 0.77
