collect
 
perform garbage collection
 
Description

n collect(i1, i2)
collect(i1, i2) causes a garbage collection in region i1, requesting i2 bytes of space in that region. It fails if the requested space is not available.

If i1 is 0, a collection is done, but no region is identified and i2 has no effect. The value of i2 is ignored for the static region.
 
Parameters
i1
region1 = static, 2 = string, 3 = block
i2
amount of space requested
 
Defaults
i1
0
i2
0
 
Errors
101 i1 or i2 is not an integer
205 i1 not 0 ≤ i1 ≤ 3, or i2 < 0
