You can trigger GC from VM code by calling g_pGCHeap->GarbageCollect(generation). Look at GCInterface::CollectGeneration in vm\comutilnative.cpp for example (http://dotnet.di.unipi.it/Content/sscli/docs/doxygen/clr/vm/comutilnative_8cpp-source.html). You should be in cooperative GC mode to call it. You can use BEGIN_ENSURE_COOPERATIVE_GC/END_ENSURE_COOPERATIVE_GC to get into the cooperative GC mode if you are not sure... . THROWSCOMPLUSEXCEPTION is just marker saying that the function throws exceptions. It does not throw any exceptions. The OOM exception is thrown by Alloc called from FastAllocateObject. -Jan

Komu: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Předmět: [DOTNET-ROTOR] Triggering GC The garbage collector is triggered by resource scarcity or by programmatic invocation in the application source code. Is it possible to trigger the GC from the VM code? Any special precautions/steps to do that? In 'gcscan.cpp', it says that FastAllocateObject will throw OutOfMemoryException. Is the exception thrown by the THROWSCOMPLUSEXCEPTION() line? If yes, why that line is right at the beginning of the function? Is it a macro?
