You can explicitly request a GC by calling System.GC.Collect(), but the
GC can ignore your request. Generally, it's not a good idea to
explicitly force a GC, unless you know what you're doing.
great info, thank you =)
But IF I work by these terms :
- if the CPU and memory are fast and big enough (like being 10 times the
ususally needed cpu and memory by the application)
- if the GC could be forced to start at secure-time-known idle times
- if the application has been tested and kept as simple as possible not
to start any unhandled exception , or unpredictable situation
Would you still not trust such a RT application ?
I would trust it more than the un-GC'd equivalent. The reason? Heap
Did you ever tried making a classic (even of very high quality
components) ITX PC
into a RealTime box ?
I think it's really important to hear other people experience on such a
tricky argument
(in italy, we say it like "walking on eggshells" )
For decades, PLC have been running 24x7 inside factories...
but their software are very simple, and the ide...where is the ide ?
Won't it be great to be able to evolve from such a situation, been able
to write complex software on RT realiable machines ?
Perhaps it isn't even possible...it could be a paradox, trying to write
a complex
application on a simple machine...
but if it works..............
What also could go wrong ?
Don't tempt fate. :-)
good point, but we won't be here developing software if sometimes we
don't challenge our fortune =^P
Best Regards !
