Returns
.true if the garbage collector was called,
.false else. This function should be used with great care as explicitly
invoking the garbage collector imposes quite a burden on a running system and can severely affect
applications. Therefore, garbage collection invocations should be best left to the interpreter. If
invoked from a debug version of ooRexx (
.RexxInfo~debug=.true),
the garbage collector will always be called. If invoked from a release version of ooRexx
(
.RexxInfo~debug=.false), the garbage collector will not be
called, unless the optional argument
force is supplied.
