There might be a way to do it, I don't know, but this sounds like an XY<http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341> problem <http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem>. Can I ask what you're trying to achieve by doing this, or is it just out of curiosity regarding how much garbage is created? (It's a lot, by the way. Since the only thing a purely functional program can do is create data and read data (as opposed to create, read and update in an impure program) I imagine a purely functional program without GC would hit OOM very, very quickly.)

Hi everyone, Is there a way to completely turn garbage collection off in the Haskell runtime system? I'm aware of the -A runtime option, but I'd like to completely turn it off, if possible. I'm OK with running the program until it runs out of memory, and I'm willing to recompile GHC if needed.
