Description
The Eclipse Memory Analyzer
(https://help.eclipse.org/2020-09/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.mat.ui.help%2Fgettingstarted%2Fbasictutorial.html&cp%3D61_1_0) Have many features help developers to troubleshoot memory leaks.
The "merge shortest path to GC roots" feature is especially helpful for finding root causes of leaks.
AFAIK the retaining path method of vm_service basically returns a random path for now.
We should be able to implement similar functionality in devtools.
