ICLRGCManager Interface

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

interface ICLRGCManager : IUnknown {
    HRESULT Collect (
        [in] LONG Generation
    );
    HRESULT GetStats (
        [in, out] COR_GC_STATS *pStats
    );
    HRESULT SetGCStartupLimits (
        [in] DWORD SegmentSize, 
        [in] DWORD MaxGen0Size
    );
};

Methods

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

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.
