OK, would it be possible to update the documentation?
Is there a way to trigger a full collection of all unreachable
objects? I would like to use this and the numbers that
garbage-collect returns to check that a certain piece of code
does not leak memory. Or is there another way to check that all
allocations done within a form are unreachable after leaving that
form?
Thanks
Hendrik
