JSRuntime * |
The runtime to for which to perform garbage collection. |
Description
JS_GC
performs garbage collection of JS objects, strings and other internal data structures that are no longer reachable in the specified runtime. Garbage collection frees memory so that it can be reused by the system.
When your scripts create many objects, you may want to call JS_GC
directly in your code, particularly when a script terminates or when the application has idle time. To perform garbage collection only if needed, call JS_MaybeGC
instead.
Use JS_SetGCCallback
to add hooks that are called during garbage collection.
