I've gotten to a point in debugging one of my programs that it would be best if I could, at any point in running the program, see all the objects that are being used by the program. With the Instruments tool that came with XCode, is there a way for me to do this? I've tried looking through it, but couldn't find anything.
Got a tip for us?

The ObjectAlloc instrument can do this. It doesn't let you inspect the contents of their instance variables though, or the connections between them. I believe in a garbage collected app you can see the latter.
