I found this link on reddit: http://dave.cheney.net/2014/07/11/visualising-the-go-garbage-collector and I was wondering if there was interest in having D's GC output detailed trace information. I was thinking perhaps collecting data and then writing it as a json file when the process exits. Thoughts?
Being able to visualize GC behaviour can be very helpful in analyzing what's going on during the execution of a program.
When developing the precise GC presented at last years conference, I added a simple version of this by adding a hook that is called during collections. It wrote some GC info to a file for plotting the memory usage diagrams.
