New submission from Ian Lynagh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

The darcs repo

    http://urchin.earth.li/darcs/ian/memory/

contains a library that, when LD_PRELOADed, tracks memory usage over the
execution of a program. It isn't perfect, but it probably works well
enough.

As I mentioned a while ago on one of the lists, it would be really
useful to have a darcs memory-suite (and probably also time-suite) in
addition to the test-suite. The hardest part is actually finding the
peak memory usage of a program's execution, but the above library should
solve that.

The ideal situation would be to have a project-independent
memory/time-suite with an elegant (E?)DSL and an easy way to get a list
of commands to reproduce failures by hand, but some individual tests
hacked together would be better than nothing.

Thanks
Ian
