What will happen if you try to analyze a heap snapshot file from a different Node.js version than the one that created it?
AThe snapshot may fail to load or show incorrect data
BThe snapshot will load perfectly without issues
CNode.js will automatically convert the snapshot
DThe snapshot file will be deleted automatically
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand snapshot compatibility

    Heap snapshots are tied to internal memory structures that can change between Node.js versions.

  2. Step 2: Consequence of version mismatch

    Loading a snapshot from a different version can cause errors or incorrect memory data display.

  3. Final Answer:

    The snapshot may fail to load or show incorrect data -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Version mismatch effect = Load failure or wrong data [OK]
Quick Trick: Use same Node.js version to analyze snapshots [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming snapshots are version-independent
  • Expecting automatic conversion
  • Thinking snapshots get deleted on mismatch
