Garbage collection primitives for an mruby interpreter.

Required methods

fn create_arena_savepoint(&self) -> ArenaIndex

Create a savepoint in the GC arena which will allow mruby to deallocate all of the objects created via the C API.

Normally objects created via the C API are marked as permanently alive ("white" GC color) with a call to mrb_gc_protect.

The returned ArenaIndex implements Drop, so it is sufficient to let it go out of scope to ensure objects are eventually collected.

fn live_object_count(&self) -> i32

Retrieve the number of live objects on the interpreter heap.

A live object is reachable via top self, the stack, or the arena.

fn incremental_gc(&self)

Perform an incremental garbage collection.

An incremental GC is less computationally expensive than a full GC, but does not guarantee that all dead objects will be reaped. You may wish to use an incremental GC if you are operating with an interpreter in a loop.

fn full_gc(&self)

Perform a full garbage collection.

A full GC guarantees that all dead objects will be reaped, so it is more expensive than an incremental GC. You may wish to use a full GC if you are memory constrained.

fn enable_gc(&self) -> bool

Enable garbage collection.

Returns the prior GC enabled state.

fn disable_gc(&self) -> bool

Disable garbage collection.

Returns the prior GC enabled state.
