Abstract: 

Garbage collection does not solve all storage management problems; programs allocate too much garbage, requiring excess collection, and may retain too much storage, causing heaps to grow too large. This paper discusses these problems and presents tools implemented in the SRC Modula-3 system that help solve them.
