The eras profiling mode is useful for tracking the life-time of closures. When a closure is written, the current era is recorded in the profiling header. This records the era in which the closure was created. * Enable with -he * User mode: Use functions ghc-experimental module GHC.Profiling.Eras to modify the era * Automatically: --automatic-era-increment, increases the user era on major collections * The first era is era 1 * -he<era> can be used with other profiling modes to select a specific era If you just want to record the era but not to perform heap profiling you can use `-he --no-automatic-heap-samples`. https://well-typed.com/blog/2024/01/ghc-eras-profiling/ Fixes #24332
