pub fn handle_user_collection_request<VM: VMBinding>(
    mmtk: &MMTK<VM>,
    tls: VMMutatorThread
) -> bool

Expand description

The application code has requested a collection. This is just a GC hint, and we may ignore it.

Returns whether a GC was ran or not. If MMTk triggers a GC, this method will block the calling thread and return true when the GC finishes. Otherwise, this method returns false immediately.

Arguments:

mmtk: A reference to an MMTk instance.
tls: The thread that triggers this collection request.
