""" MiniMark GC.

Environment variables can be used to fine-tune the following parameters:

 PYPY_GC_NURSERY         The nursery size.  Defaults to 1/2 of your cache or
                         '4M'.  Small values
                         (like 1 or 1KB) are useful for debugging.

 PYPY_GC_NURSERY_CLEANUP The interval at which nursery is cleaned up. Must
                         be smaller than the nursery size and bigger than the
                         biggest object we can allotate in the nursery.

 PYPY_GC_MAJOR_COLLECT   Major collection memory factor.  Default is '1.82',
                         which means trigger a major collection when the
                         memory consumed equals 1.82 times the memory
                         really used at the end of the previous major
                         collection.

 PYPY_GC_GROWTH          Major collection threshold's max growth rate.
                         Default is '1.4'.  Useful to collect more often
                         than normally on sudden memory growth, e.g. when
                         there is a temporary peak in memory usage.

 PYPY_GC_MAX             The max heap size.  If coming near this limit, it
                         will first collect more often, then raise an
                         RPython MemoryError, and if that is not enough,
                         crash the program with a fatal error.  Try values
                         like '1.6GB'.

 PYPY_GC_MAX_DELTA       The major collection threshold will never be set
                         to more than PYPY_GC_MAX_DELTA the amount really
                         used after a collection.  Defaults to 1/8th of the
                         total RAM size (which is constrained to be at most
                         2/3/4GB on 32-bit systems).  Try values like '200MB'.

 PYPY_GC_MIN             Don't collect while the memory size is below this
                         limit.  Useful to avoid spending all the time in
                         the GC in very small programs.  Defaults to 8
                         times the nursery.

 PYPY_GC_DEBUG           Enable extra checks around collections that are
                         too slow for normal use.  Values are 0 (off),
                         1 (on major collections) or 2 (also on minor
                         collections).
