To enable or disable garbage collection at runtime using runtime.GC()
, you can use the SetGCPercent(percent int)
function from the runtime
package in Go. Here's how you can do it:
To enable garbage collection:
runtime
package: import "runtime"
runtime.SetGCPercent(-1)
to set the garbage collection percentage to the default value.To disable garbage collection:
runtime
package: import "runtime"
runtime.SetGCPercent(-1)
to set the garbage collection percentage to -1, effectively disabling garbage collection.Here's an example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"runtime"
)
func main() {
// Enable garbage collection
runtime.SetGCPercent(-1)
// Your code here...
// Disable garbage collection
runtime.SetGCPercent(100)
// Your code here...
}
Note: Disabling garbage collection is generally not recommended unless you have a specific reason to do so. The Go runtime manages garbage collection automatically, and it's typically best to let it handle memory management for you.
