Switch GC_incremental mode on/off at runtime

[liuwjchinal]

I want ask if bdwgc support runtime switch GC_incremental Mode and how?

If I got your question correctly, you should call GC_enable_incremental() after GC_INIT(), or set GC_ENABLE_INCREMENTAL environment variable to 1.
Note that incremental mode is not provided (not supported ) on some platforms.

ok, thanks~

Will there be any issues if I enable incremental GC at the start of a runtime and then dynamically disable it? this is what I actually want to ask

[ivmai]

Normally GC incremental mode is turned on at process start.
Turning the mode off is not implemented.
