hprof 1.1

[Kirk Pepperdine]

Hi all,

I was looking for a more recent version of the hprof documentation and it looks like the last version of that doc is with JDK 8. This doc acts as a spec for the file format for heap dumps (as well as the format for for execution and heap profiler output). 

Question, is this document an OpenJDK specification and if not, should it be one? If it is a spec should it live some where outside of a specific release? Is this a JSR or a JEP?

Kind regards,
Kirk
