1. A method, implemented in a computing device, for data centric heap profiling, comprising: generating a type table for data structure types in source code using a compiler of the computing device; identifying each heap allocation site and a corresponding data structure type in the source code using the compiler; and generating a data centric view of a heap of an application compiled from the source code based on the each heap allocation site and the corresponding data structure type using a debugger of the computing device when a snapshot of the heap is requested during an execution of the application.
