type Collector

    // World specifies a World that should be stopped before a
    // collection and started again after.
    World World

			A Collector performs a garbage collection.
func (*Collector) Collect
func (c *Collector) Collect(ctx context.Context) (err error)
Collect performs a garbage collection.
type Deleter
type Deleter interface {
    // Delete deletes an item that was deemed unreachable via
    // the garbage collector.
    // It must be safe for calls from concurrent goroutines.
    Delete(Item) error
}
			
			
			
			
			
			
		
			
			
			type Enumerator
type Enumerator interface {
    // Enumerate enumerates items (which items depends on usage)
    // and sends them to the provided channel. Regardless of return
    // value, the channel should be closed.
    //
    // If the provided context is closed, Enumerate should return
    // with an error (typically context.Canceled)
    Enumerate(context.Context, chan<- Item) error
}
			Enumerator enumerates items.
type Item
type Item interface{}
			Item is something that exists that may or may not survive a GC collection.
type ItemEnumerator
type ItemEnumerator interface {
    // EnumerateItme is like Enuerator's Enumerate, but specific
    // to the provided item.
    EnumerateItem(context.Context, Item, chan<- Item) error
}
			ItemEnumerator enumerates all the edges out from an item.
type Marker
type Marker interface {
    // Mark marks that an item should exist.
    // It must be safe for calls from concurrent goroutines.
    Mark(Item) error
    // IsMarked returns whether the item is marked.
    // It must be safe for calls from concurrent goroutines.
    IsMarked(Item) (bool, error)
}
			
			
			
			
			
			
		
			
			
			type World
type World interface {
    Stop() error
    Start() error
}
			World defines the thing that should be stopped before GC and started after.
