virtual void dynamic::gc::garbage_collector::disable

(

)

[pure virtual]

Disable all collection.

Call enable() again to re-enable GC. This call can be nested, and GC only takes place when the number of enable() calls equals the number of disable() calls.

Referenced by dynamic::gc_disable().

virtual void dynamic::gc::garbage_collector::set_gc_factor

(

int

)

[pure virtual]

Sets when GC will next happen.

The default = 30, which means that the heap grows by a factor of 3 before GC kicks in when calling on_add_object()

virtual void dynamic::gc::garbage_collector::set_idle_gc_factor

(

int

)

[pure virtual]

Sets when GC will next happen, if calling try_idle_gc().

The default = 20, which means that the heap grows by a factor of 2 before GC happens.
