Simon Marlow and I had this conversation not too long ago, and the answer is no. However, this is definitely something that would be useful for a lot of people (GHC developers included!) Cheers, Edward Excerpts from Ryan Newton's message of Sun Apr 10 17:30:50 -0400 2011:
Hi cafe,
The rtsopts (-s etc) can provide some nice debugging information regarding memory management. And System.Mem.performGC can initiate garbage collection. But are there APIs for querying the current state of the heap? I've googled and come up dry.
In this case I'm running benchmarks and for the sake of fair comparison I want to make sure that everything from a previous run is cleaned up before the next run.
Thanks, -Ryan
