REBOL 3 Functions: recycle

recycle /off /on /ballast size /torture

Recycles unused memory.

Refinements:

/off - Disable auto-recycling

/on - Enable auto-recycling

/ballast - Trigger for auto-recycle (memory used)

size [integer!]

/torture - Constant recycle (for internal debugging)

Description

This function will force a garbage collection of unused words and values found in memory. This function is not required or recommened for most scripts because the system does it automatically as necessary.

To disable garbage collection, you can specify /off refinement.

recycle/off

To enable it again, use /on:

recycle/on

Note that recently used values may not be immediately garbage collected, even though they are no longer being referenced by your program.
