gc-switch

Arguments: gc-switch

This function returns the current value of the switch gc-switch. Where appropriate, it can be used with setf to set the switch value:

cg-user(11): (sys:gc-switch :print)
nil
cg-user(12): (setf (sys:gc-switch :print) t)
t
cg-user(13): (sys:gc-switch :print)
t

The function sys:gc-parameter performs the same role for parameters. The function sys:gc-parameters prints all switches and parameters along with their current values.

See gc.htm for more information on the garbage collector. The section System parameters and switches in that document describes all parameters and switches.
