Function

Summary

Controls whether generation 2 is garbage collected in 32-bit LispWorks.

Package

hcl

Signature

collect-generation-2 on => size

Arguments

on

If on is nil, generation 2 is not garbage collected. If on is t, the generation is garbage collected.

Values

size

The current size of the image.

Description

Controls whether generation 2 is garbage collected. (Generation 2 normally holds long-lived objects created dynamically.)

Notes

collect-generation-2 is implemented only in 32-bit LispWorks. It is not relevant to the Memory Management API in 64-bit implementations, where you can use set-blocking-gen-num instead.
