ICLRGCManager Interface

Provides methods that allow a host to interact with the common language runtime's garbage collection system.

interface ICLRGCManager : IUnknown {
    HRESULT Collect (
        [in] LONG Generation
    );
    HRESULT GetStats (
        [in][out] COR_GC_STATS *pStats
    );
    HRESULT SetGCStartupLimits (
        [in] DWORD SegmentSize, 
        [in] DWORD MaxGen0Size
    );
};

Methods
