|
Enable mark-and-sweep garbage collection (recommended).
|
||
|
|
||
|
When disabled, only reference counting is used for garbage collection.
|
||
|
This reduces code footprint and eliminates garbage collection pauses, but
|
||
|
objects participating in unreachable reference cycles won't be collected
|
||
|
until the Duktape heap is destroyed. In particular, function instances
|
||
|
won't be collected because they're always in a reference cycle with their
|
||
|
default prototype object. Unreachable objects are collected if you break
|
||
|
reference cycles manually (and are always freed when a heap is destroyed).
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: Removed in Duktape 2.0.0 because mark-and-sweep is no longer optional.
