Generics in C# are certainly very useful and I find it amazing that we almost didn’t get them: What would the cost of inaction have been? What would the cost of failure have been? No generics in C# 2.0? No LINQ in C# 3.0? No TPL in C# 4.0? No Async in C# 5.0?

As part of an ongoing attempt to learn more about how a real-life Garbage Collector (GC) works (see part 1) and after being inspired by Julia Evans’ excellent post gzip + poetry = awesome I spent a some time writing a tool to enable a live visualisation of the .NET GC in action.

This series is an attempt to learn more about how a real-life “Garbage Collector” (GC) works internally, i.e., not so much “what it does”, but “how it does it” at a low-level.

Fortunately, there’s a fantastic tool that makes it very easy for us to get an overview of memory usage within the CLR itself. It’s called VMMap and it’s part of the excellent Sysinternals Suite.
