It&#39;s not an easy measurement to even define. There was a huge debacle recently about a windows program that reported misleading numbers about used memory. The fact that GHC has its own allocator and &quot;hogs&quot; OS memory (it never returns it to the OS) might complicate the definition further. But in general, if you&#39;re looking for an OS-level measure you&#39;re probably going to need to go to the FFI and talk to the specific OS&#39;s API for the task. I&#39;m not sure if the GHC runtime allows you to ask much about allocated memory. The only thing I&#39;ve done with it was FFI out to a variable that counts the number of bytes allocated to measure allocations in calls like GHCi does. <div>

Hi<br>
<br>
I have tried <a href="http://haskell.org" target="_blank">haskell.org</a>, Google and Hoolge, but I cannot find any<br>
function to give me the available and/or used memory of a Haskell<br>
program. Is it just not there? Or am I missing it somehow?<br>
