If Pharo's gc algorithm is concurrent => maybe yes,
otherwise surely no : if I'm not wrong gc starts inside VM
when checking allocation spaces during a basicNew or alike.
And the VM seems stuck, at that moment.

One can try to create an ephemeron and check it every 100-500 ms,
refreshing it if it's still here (so it will stay in new space).
But it shift the question to the definitive target group :
the VM guys !!!

Hi��

I would to be able to see when an incremental GC is happening.

is there a way to know when a GC is happening?
