Description Jaroslav Tulach 2008-08-15 16:27:18 UTC 
When fighting with memory leaks I really miss ability to find "next path to GC root". As a result I need to run my 
application, that memory dump, open in profiler, find path to nearest GC root, fix the problem, and do that once 
again. One such run takes at least 10min, so my productivity is really low. It would increase significantly if I could 
fix all known leaks and only then rerun the application.

The algorithm for finding more memoryleaks is simple, already implemented by NbTestCase.assertGC, however that system 
has troubles to identify all GC roots, that is why I need to use profiler then. Please implement "next GC root" or 
something similar in profiler as well.
