JDK-6239651 - New binary heap dump format (to replace hprof format=b)
Description
Remove use of hprof_reference.c saving of data during FollowReference callbacks, make calls to hprof_io,c functions direct from the callbacks.
The heap snapshot work described in https://heap-snapshot.dev.java.net/ should address this, hopefully we can create this new format this way.
Comments
EVALUATION This work will fall out of the heap snapshot work, hopefully, in any case, doing additional work on the older formats doesn't seem worthwhile.
