Methods

EnableGCMessages(bool)

Specifies whether GC (garbage collection) messages are enabled.

public static void EnableGCMessages(bool enable)

Parameters

enable bool

true to enable output of messages; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Despite this method enabling the GC messages there is the possibility of those never being outputted depending on the target build options. RTM builds (which remove all non essential features) are one of those situations.

Run(bool)

Runs GC (garbage collection), a service that automatically reclaims unused computer memory.

public static uint Run(bool compactHeap)

Parameters

compactHeap bool

true to force heap compaction; otherwise, false.

Returns

uint

The amount of free (unused) memory, in bytes.
