GC Members
.NET Framework 3.5
Controls the system garbage collector, a service that automatically reclaims unused memory.
The GC type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
AddMemoryPressure | Informs the runtime of a large allocation of unmanaged memory that should be taken into account when scheduling garbage collection. |
|
|
CancelFullGCNotification | Cancels the registration of a garbage collection notification. |
|
|
Collect | Overloaded. Forces garbage collection. |
|
|
CollectionCount | Returns the number of times garbage collection has occurred for the specified generation of objects. |
|
|
GetGeneration | Overloaded. Returns the current generation number of an object. |
|
|
GetTotalMemory | Retrieves the number of bytes currently thought to be allocated. A parameter indicates whether this method can wait a short interval before returning, to allow the system to collect garbage and finalize objects. |
|
|
KeepAlive | References the specified object, which makes it ineligible for garbage collection from the start of the current routine to the point where this method is called. |
|
|
RegisterForFullGCNotification | Specifies that a garbage collection notification should be raised when conditions favor full garbage collection and when the collection has been completed. |
|
|
RemoveMemoryPressure | Informs the runtime that unmanaged memory has been released and no longer needs to be taken into account when scheduling garbage collection. |
|
|
ReRegisterForFinalize | Requests that the system call the finalizer for the specified object for which SuppressFinalize has previously been called. |
|
|
SuppressFinalize | Requests that the system not call the finalizer for the specified object. |
|
|
WaitForFullGCApproach | Overloaded. Returns the status of a registered notification for determining whether a full garbage collection by the common language runtime is imminent. |
|
|
WaitForFullGCComplete | Overloaded. Returns the status of a registered notification for determining whether a full garbage collection by the common language runtime has completed. |
|
|
WaitForPendingFinalizers | Suspends the current thread until the thread that is processing the queue of finalizers has emptied that queue. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
