Entry: JS_GC (Function)
Summary: Performs garbage collection in the JS memory pool.
Syntax:
void JS_GC(JSContext *cx);
Description:
JS_GC performs garbage collection, if necessary, of JS objects, doubles, and strings that are no longer needed by a script executing in a specified JSContext, cx. Garbage collection frees space in the memory pool so that it can be reused by the JS engine.
When you use JS_malloc and JS_realloc to allocate memory for executable script contexts, these routines automatically invoke the garbage collection routine.
When your scripts create many objects, you may want to call JS_GC directly in your code, particularly when request ends or a script terminates. To run garbage collection only when a certain amount of memory has been allocated, you can call JS_MaybeGC instead of JS_GC.
