type Collector
type Collector struct {
// World specifies a World that should be stopped before a
// collection and started again after.
World World
Marker Marker
Roots Enumerator
Sweeper Enumerator
ItemEnumerator ItemEnumerator
Deleter Deleter
}
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.
