val reachable_words : t -> int
Computes the total size (in words, including the headers) of all heap blocks accessible from the argument. Statically allocated blocks are excluded.
@Since 4.04
val field : t -> int -> t
val set_field : t -> int -> t -> unit
When using flambda:
set_field
MUST NOT be called on immutable blocks. (Blocks allocated
in C stubs, or with new_block
below, are always considered mutable.)
The same goes for set_double_field
and set_tag
. However, for
set_tag
, in the case of immutable blocks where the middle-end optimizers
never see code that discriminates on their tag (for example records), the
operation should be safe. Such uses are nonetheless discouraged.
For experts only:
set_field
et al can be made safe by first wrapping the block in
Sys.opaque_identity
, so any information about its contents will not
be propagated.

instead.
