Debugging and Diagnostics

Native Image provides utilities for debugging and inspecting the produced binary:

For debugging produced binaries and obtaining performance profile statistics, see Debug Information
For generating heap dumps, see Heap Dump Support
For JFR events recording, see JDK Flight Recorder (JFR)
For checking which methods were included in a native executable or a shared library, use the Inspection Tool
For an overview of static analysis results, see Static Analysis Reports
For performance analysis, see Linux Perf Profiler Support in Native Image
For an overall insight regarding build phases and the contents of a native executable, use Build Reports
For native memory tracking, see Native Memory Tracking (NMT)
See the Java Diagnostic Command documentation for instructions on using jcmd.
For Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) support in Native Image to enable debugging with standard Java tooling, see Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP).
