Hi Aliaksei,
In VW, scavenges are done automatically by the VM, but all
heavier-weight GC is controlled by the image, through a MemoryPolicy
object. In the GemStone client for VW we provide a memory policy that
discourages GC during times when our mapping dictionaries are strong,
deferring it to just after we make the dictionaries weak so the GC can
actually collect things that are mapped but no longer used.
It sounds like you'd like something very much like this, to tend to
defer GC to a good point in the rendering cycle. And "tend to" is
important -- when space is getting *really* low, it's a good idea to go
ahead and do the GC regardless of whether it's a "good" time.
Regards,
-Martin

Hi
I wish there was a way to control *when* full GC is allowed to happen.
For example, I would prefer GC to occur while the UI rendering loop is
paused and not in the middle of the frame resulting in sometimes
sluggish animations in the case of large images.
Thank you

Hi
I would to be able to see when an incremental GC is happening.
is there a way to know when a GC is happening?
