You can use the 'vacuum' package to explore the heap, and you can use
System.Mem.Weak to create a reference to something that won't keep it from
being GCed and will let you check on it later. You can also use the
built-in heap profiling capabilities to track things like the memory usage
of the entire heap from moment to moment.

Hi,
Maybe a stupid question: is there a way to check whether a particular data structure (or set of data structures) has been garbage collected? Or indirectly: is there a way to check what's still alive in the heap, so that you can potentially diff from one moment to another? Thanks,
