ANNOUNCE: vacuum: extract graph representations of ghc heap values.

I am pleased to announce the release of vacuum, a Haskellhttp://haskell.org/library for extracting graph representations of values from the GHC http://haskell.org/ghc/ heap, which may then be further processed and/or translated to Graphviz http://graphviz.org/ dot format to be visualized. The package website is at http://moonpatio.com/vacuum/, which contains a gallery section (which i intend to add to over time). The most recent version is 0.0.6, which is available on Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/vacuum/. Feedback, comments, and/or gallery submissions will be gratefully received via this email address (contrary to the email address currently on the vacuum Hackage page (i fail at setting up email :)).

Hi Matt, That looks pretty neat. Can you explain a little more about what I'm seeing in these visualizations, and where this kind of visualization would be most useful? (Debugging, algorithm tuning, etc.)? Take care, Duane Johnson http://blog.inquirylabs.com/ On Mar 30, 2009, at 10:54 PM, Matt Morrow wrote:

Ah, I hadn't read Don's thread before posting my previous comment. That cleared things up for me :) Thanks! Duane Johnson On Mar 30, 2009, at 10:54 PM, Matt Morrow wrote:
