The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating VisualVM's existing normal object heap dump path, then investigate how the libgraal memory area is exposed and whether it supports a comparable dump operation. Done means libgraal heap contents can be dumped similarly to the normal object heap.
