GC Methods
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
The GC type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
AddMemoryPressure | Security Critical. Informs the runtime of a large allocation of unmanaged memory that should be taken into account when scheduling garbage collection. |
|
Collect | Induces an immediate garbage collection of all generations. |
|
Collect(Int32) | Security Critical. Induces an immediate garbage collection of a specified generation. |
|
Collect(Int32, GCCollectionMode) | Forces a garbage collection from generation 0 through a specified generation, at a time specified by a GCCollectionMode value. |
|
Collect(Int32, GCCollectionMode, Boolean) | Forces a garbage collection from generation 0 through a specified generation, at a time specified by a GCCollectionMode value, with a value specifying whether the collection should be blocking. |
|
CollectionCount | Returns the number of times garbage collection has occurred for the specified generation of objects. |
|
GetGeneration | Security Critical. Retrieves the generation of a specified 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. |
|
RemoveMemoryPressure | Security Critical. 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. |
|
WaitForPendingFinalizers | Suspends the current thread until the thread that is processing the queue of finalizers has emptied that queue. |
