ICLRGCManager Interface

Provides methods that allow a host to interact with the common language runtime's garbage collection system.

Note

Starting with .NET Framework 4.5, you can use the ICLRGCManager2::SetGCStartupLimitsEx method to set the size of a garbage collection segment and the maximum size of the garbage collection system's generation 0 to values greater than the DWORD limit that is imposed by the SetGCStartupLimits method.

Methods

Method Description
Collect Method Forces a garbage collection for the specified generation.
GetStats Method Gets a set of current statistics about the garbage collection system.
SetGCStartupLimits Method Sets the size of a garbage collection segment and the maximum size of the garbage collection system's generation 0.

Remarks

The common language runtime (CLR) implements its garbage collection mechanism with the managed GC type. For more information about the garbage collection system, see Garbage Collection.
