Method Detail
- Description
- Run the garbage collector and reclaim memory allocated to objects and properties that are no longer reachable. When objects and properties are freed, any registered native destructors will be called. The run function will
run the garbage collector even if the enable property is set to false.
It is normally not required to manually call the run method as the ejs virtual machine runtime will
automatically run the garbage collector as required.
