(Case 973872) PackedMemorySnapshot: Missing field(s) in TypeDescription

Using the UnityEditor.MemoryProfiler API to capture a PackedMemorySnapshot, does not include fields of type System.Collections.Generic.List<int>. It does, however, include fields of type int[].

Spoiler: Code snippet

Code (CSharp):

1. public class TestCode : EditorWindow
2. {
3.     // m_intArray exists in the memory snapshpt
4.     int[] m_intArray = new int[1] { 1 };
5.  
6.     // m_intList does NOT exist in the memory snapshpt
7.     List<int> m_intList = new List<int>(new[] { 1 });
8.  

Reproduce

• Open user attached project
• Click Mainmenu > BugReport > Open TestCode Window
• Click Capture Memory 'Editor' button

Observe the text displays "field 'm_intList' missing".


Expected
TypeDescription contains fields of type System.Collections.Generic.List as well.

 

Hi

The issue with generic types not being included in the Mono snapshot has been fixed and should be available in a 2017.3 release soon.

 

That's great news! Thank you for the quick response.
