I keep reading things here and there about references to heap memory being
dropped and how operator= and X(X&) constructors can be used to avoid this.

Is there any way I can PRINT OUT in some way information about everything that
is currently on the heap?  I don't have to be able to decipher anything
about the individual allocations, just see what is there.  For example,
if I perform this printout both BEFORE and AFTER I do something questionable
in C++, I might be able to tell if something is dangling by just seeing
MORE things allocated AFTER than BEFORE.
