clean-generation-0

Function
Summary

Attempts to promote all objects from generation zero into generation one, thereby clearing generation zero.

Package

hcl

Signature

clean-generation-0 => 1

Arguments

None

Values

Returns the value 1.

Description

This is useful when passing from a phase of creating long-lived data to a phase of mostly ephemeral data, for example, the end of loading an application and the start of its use.

Example
;   allocate lots of non-ephemeral objects
;   ...... 
(clean-generation-0)
Notes

It may be more efficient to directly allocate the objects in a particular generation in the first place, using allocation-in-gen-num or set-default-generation .
