17.1 Memory Management🔗ℹ

• memory.gc forces a major collection that inspects all generations.

• memory.minor_gc function forces only a minor collection.

• memory.incremental_gc function may perform a minor collection, but also requests incremental collection for future automatic collections. The request expires if it is not renewed frequently.

• memory.current_use reports the number of bytes occupied by all currently allocated objects, not counting overhead, but including objects that might be reclaimed immediately by a garbage collection.

• memory.cumulative_use reports the total number of bytes that have been allocated since the process started, including bytes that have been subsequently reclaimed by garbage collection.
