Using the Leaks instrument
The Leaks instrument, shown in Figure 16.18, is a version of Allocations designed to display leak events only.
The UI and features are similar—you can drill down to show source code in the same way—but only leak
events are listed.
You can use either Allocations or Leaks to find leaky code. But because Leaks displays leaks without the clutter
of surrounding allocations, it's a more efficient way to find and debug leak events.
