如何从核心转储文件中提取JVM堆转储？

Question

我正在尝试将Java进程的Linux核心转储文件转换为堆转储文件，以便使用Eclipse MAT进行分析。根据this博客文章，适应较新的OpenJDK 12，我创建了一个核心转储，然后运行jhsdb jmap将转储转换为HPROF格式：

>sudo gcore -o dump 24934

核心转储文件为22 Gb，而堆转储文件仅为3Mb，因此jhsdb jmap命令很可能无法处理整个核心转储。此外，Eclipse MAT无法打开堆转储文件，并显示以下消息：The HPROF parser encountered a violation of the HPROF specification that it could not safely handle. This could be due to file truncation or a bug in the JVM.

这有两种可能性。

首先，gcore是gdb的便捷脚本。我看到它会提示一些警告消息，说明加载solib有困难。gdb可能会在第一时间生成一个损坏的核心文件。您可以尝试使用gdb加载核心文件，并查看它是否可以解析它。

其次，jhsdb自己解析核心文件。您可以使用环境变量LIBSAPROC_DEBUG=1来获取其跟踪信息。它将帮助您了解解析过程中的错误所在。

为什么不直接使用jmap -dump转储java heap呢？这将跳过核心转储文件。
