Exposing memory-backed objects as queryable memory resources

A computer system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the computer system to process a query against a lifetime of a memory-backed object based on an execution trace, the computer-executable instructions including instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the computer system to perform at least the following:
• identify, from a trace of a prior execution of an entity, a memory-backed object that existed during the prior execution of the entity;
• identify a handle for logically representing memory covered by the memory-backed object over a lifetime of the memory-backed object in the prior execution of the entity;
• identify a set of a plurality of associations that are represented by the handle, the set of associations identifying a plurality of memory addresses that were covered by the memory-backed object over the lifetime of the memory-backed object, each association representing at least (i) a memory address that was covered by the memory-backed object during the lifetime of the memory-backed object, and (ii) an execution time during lifetime of the memory-backed object at which the memory address was covered by the memory-backed object;
• process, at least in part, a query against the handle, the query including a least one query condition based on an execution time, processing the query including comparing the execution time in the query to one or more execution times represented in the set of associations;
• and
• formulate a response to the query.

A method, implemented at a computer system that includes at least one processor, for processing a query against a lifetime of a memory-backed object based on an execution trace, the method comprising:

• identifying, from a trace of a prior execution of an entity, a memory address that was used as part of the prior execution of the entity during at least one execution time;
• receiving a query against the memory address;
• and
• based on receiving the query against the memory address,
• identifying at least one memory-backed object to which the memory address was associated during the at least one execution time;
• identifying a handle for logically representing memory covered by the memory-backed object over a lifetime of the memory-backed object in the prior execution of the entity;
• identifying a set of a plurality of associations that are represented by the handle, the set of associations identifying a plurality of memory addresses that were covered by the memory-backed object over the lifetime of the memory-backed object, each association representing at least (i) a memory address that was covered by the memory-backed object during the lifetime of the memory-backed object, and (ii) an execution time during lifetime of the memory-backed object at which the memory address was covered by the memory-backed object;
• processing, at least in part, the query using the handle, the query including a least one query condition based on an execution time, processing the query including comparing the execution time in the query to one or more execution times represented in the set of associations;
• and
• formulating a response to the query.
