Function mmtk::memory_manager::enable_collection[−][src]

pub fn enable_collection<VM: VMBinding>(
    mmtk: &'static MMTK<VM>, 
    tls: OpaquePointer
)

Allow MMTk to trigger garbage collection. A VM should only call this method when it is ready for the mechanisms required for collection during the boot process. MMTk will invoke Collection::spawn_worker_thread() to create GC threads during this funciton call.

Arguments:

  • mmtk: A reference to an MMTk instance.
  • tls: The thread that wants to enable the collection. This value will be passed back to the VM in Collection::spawn_worker_thread() so that the VM knows the context.
