Hi all, Is there a way to achieve the effect of soft references in GHC? Or if not, is there any hope that they will be implemented in the future? (Soft references are like weak references, except that they are only reclaimed by the garbage collector if memory is short.) I'm building a memoization table of visualizations of a data set, but I can't store *all* visualizations of that set in memory at the same time. My current solution is to use a least-recently-used cache, but this is unsatisfying because I have to specify the maximum number of objects in the cache; if I make that too large, I run out of memory, so I have to make it so small that I can't possibly run out, meaning that I have to make it a lot smaller than it *could* be. With soft references, the program could memoize the "optimal" number of items, with the user being able to influence the behavior through the 'maximum heap size' RTS option. Any ideas? Thanks, - Benja
