Hi!
Thanks for the review!
Here is the answer from the «Programming in Lua» (3rd edition), paragraph 32.2:
> From Lua we use the collectgarbage function: collectgarbage(what [, data])
> Both offer the same functionality. The what argument (an enumeration value in C, a string in Lua) specifies what to do. The > options are:
<snipped>
> LUA_GCCOLLECT (“collect”): performs a complete garbage-collection cycle, so that all unreachable objects are collected and finalized. This is the default option for collectgarbage.
