I have a launch daemon that's using the Endpoint Security framework which also is causing high memory usage (in Activity Monitor memory column shows for example 2GB and Real Memory 11MB) when building a big project in Xcode. Is it some kind of memory caching by the system? leaks -forkCorpse seems to not show any leaks.
How can I attach with heap or Instruments without the process being killed with "ENDPOINTSECURITY, Code 2 EndpointSecurity client terminated because it failed to respond to a message before its deadline"?
You can’t.
However, most of these tools do support targeting a forked corpse. Certainly that’s true for heap.
Oh, and leaks will let you export a memory graph (via -outputGraph) which you can then feed into a variety of tool, including Xcode itself.
Share and Enjoy
