32.39. $collect

Figure 32–40. $collect
PROCEDURE   $collect    (OPTIONAL INTEGER
                             kindOfCollection);

The PROCEDURE $collect causes a garbage collection to occur, unless $collectLock is non-zero, in which case $collect returns without doing anything.

If kindOfCollection is equal to stringCode, only STRINGs are collected. If equal to pointerCode, only dynamic objects (dynamic records, data sections, and dynamic ARRAYs) are collected. If kindOfCollection is Zero, all collectable data are collected.
