are you sure that you need this? if you only need to "burn in" "+RTS
-A" option value, it's enough to use documented way:

char *ghc_rts_opts = "-A10m";

(see 4.14.5 in GHC user manual)


the trick provided by Simon need only to change "-A" during program
execution, for example depending on options or around GC-unfriendly
part of program
