Heaptrack traces all memory allocations and annotates these events with stack
traces. Dedicated analysis tools then allow you to interpret the heap memory
profile to:
* find hotspots that need to be optimized to reduce the memory footprint of
your application
* find memory leaks, i.e. locations that allocate memory which is never
deallocated
* find allocation hotspots, i.e. code locations that trigger a lot of
memory allocation calls
* find temporary allocations, which are allocations that are directly
followed by their deallocation
