Query: Postmortem Object Type Identification   This paper presents a novel technique for the automatic type identification
of arbitrary memory objects from a memory dump. Our motivating application is
debugging memory corruption problems in optimized, production systems -- a
problem domain largely unserved by extant methodologies. We describe our
algorithm as applicable to any typed language, and we discuss it with respect
to the formidable obstacles posed by C. We describe the heuristics that we have
developed to overcome these difficulties and achieve effective type
identification on C-based systems. We further describe the implementation of
our heuristics on one C-based system -- the Solaris operating system kernel --
and describe the extensions that we have added to the Solaris postmortem
debugger to allow for postmortem type identification. We show that our
implementation yields a sufficiently high rate of type identification to be
useful for debugging memory corruption problems. Finally, we discuss some of
the novel automated debugging mechanisms that can be layered upon postmortem
type identification.
