GC Class static

Controls the system garbage collector, a service that automatically reclaims unused memory.

System.Runtime.CompilerServices.NullableContextAttribute
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.NullableAttribute

Methods

  • AddMemoryPressure(Int64) 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() Forces an immediate garbage collection of all generations.
  • Collect(Int32) Forces an immediate garbage collection from generation 0 through 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.
  • Collect(Int32, GCCollectionMode, Boolean, Boolean) Forces a garbage collection from generation 0 through a specified generation, at a time specified by a GCCollectionMode value, with values that specify whether the collection should be blocking and compacting.
  • CollectionCount(Int32) Returns the number of times garbage collection has occurred for the specified generation of objects.
  • EndNoGCRegion() Ends the no GC region latency mode.
  • GetAllocatedBytesForCurrentThread() Gets the total number of bytes allocated to the current thread since the beginning of its lifetime.
  • GetGCMemoryInfo() Gets garbage collection memory information.
  • GetGeneration(Object) Returns the current generation number of the specified object.
  • GetGeneration(WeakReference) Returns the current generation number of the target of a specified weak reference.
  • GetTotalAllocatedBytes(Boolean) Gets a count of the bytes allocated over the lifetime of the process.
  • GetTotalMemory(Boolean) 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(Object) 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.
  • ReRegisterForFinalize(Object) Requests that the system call the finalizer for the specified object for which SuppressFinalize(System.Object) has previously been called.
  • RegisterForFullGCNotification(Int32, Int32) Specifies that a garbage collection notification should be raised when conditions favor full garbage collection and when the collection has been completed.
  • RemoveMemoryPressure(Int64) Informs the runtime that unmanaged memory has been released and no longer needs to be taken into account when scheduling garbage collection.
  • SuppressFinalize(Object) Requests that the common language runtime not call the finalizer for the specified object.
  • TryStartNoGCRegion(Int64) Attempts to disallow garbage collection during the execution of a critical path if a specified amount of memory is available.
  • TryStartNoGCRegion(Int64, Boolean) Attempts to disallow garbage collection during the execution of a critical path if a specified amount of memory is available, and controls whether the garbage collector does a full blocking garbage collection if not enough memory is initially available.
  • TryStartNoGCRegion(Int64, Int64) Attempts to disallow garbage collection during the execution of a critical path if a specified amount of memory is available for the large object heap and the small object heap.
  • TryStartNoGCRegion(Int64, Int64, Boolean) Attempts to disallow garbage collection during the execution of a critical path if a specified amount of memory is available for the large object heap and the small object heap, and controls whether the garbage collector does a full blocking garbage collection if not enough memory is initially available.
  • WaitForFullGCApproach() Returns the status of a registered notification for determining whether a full, blocking garbage collection by the common language runtime is imminent.
  • WaitForFullGCApproach(Int32) Returns, in a specified time-out period, the status of a registered notification for determining whether a full, blocking garbage collection by the common language runtime is imminent.
  • WaitForFullGCComplete() Returns the status of a registered notification for determining whether a full, blocking garbage collection by the common language runtime has completed.
  • WaitForFullGCComplete(Int32) Returns, in a specified time-out period, the status of a registered notification for determining whether a full, blocking garbage collection by common language the runtime has completed.
  • WaitForPendingFinalizers() Suspends the current thread until the thread that is processing the queue of finalizers has emptied that queue.

Properties

  • MaxGeneration Gets the maximum number of generations that the system currently supports.
