normal-gc Function

Summary

Returns the image to normal garbage collection activity in 32-bit LispWorks.

Package

hcl

Signature

normal-gc => t

Description

The function normal-gc resets various internal parameters that determine the frequency and extent of garbage collection to their default settings.

normal-gc is generally used in conjunction with avoid-gc, to cancel the effects of the latter.

Notes

normal-gc is useful only in 32-bit LispWorks. In 64-bit implementations it does nothing and simply returns nil.
