[Neko] trigger garbarge collection?

[daniel fischer]

hey nicholas,

i'm trying to make my cptr helper lib memory-safe. i've alread integrated your suggestion of storing the allocated size together with the pointer in a new structure, which seems to work nice.

now i would like to do some tests to assure no memleaks occur. for that, i'd need to find a way to trigger garbage collection of my abstracts. i know that setting the variable to null will (sooner or later) do so, but i'd need to do it "now".

is there a way already in neko? or some boehm-gc function i could wrap (for this preliminary purpose)?

-dan
