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

collect-generation-2 on => size

Arguments

Description

The function collect-generation-2 controls whether generation 2 is garbage collected. (Generation 2 normally holds long-lived objects created dynamically.)

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

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.
