This re-adds a non-internal
gc.collect()
interface to manually issue a full garbage collection (previously one had to use internal__collect()
) and adds a naive mechanism to attempt collection before growing memory. Naive because this has a flaw when allocating/deallocating around a grow boundary, but otherwise relatively efficient in that memory we have anyway is fully used before even attempting to collect, and additional pages are only obtained if absolutely necessary. Suggestions welcome :)
