QP_trimcore(
)#include <quintus/quintus.h> int QP_trimcore()
QP_trimcore()
is the C equivalent of Prolog's trimcore/0
.
trimcore/0
is usually called by Prolog when you return to top level
after each query. But if you have an embedded application without
Prolog's top level or a runtime system then you can call
QP_trimcore()
explicitly to ask Prolog to consolidate all
its free memory and free as much as possible back to the
operating system.
Like trimcore/0
it should be used judiciously,
as overuse can result in unnecessary time being spent in memory expansion
and contraction. However, it can be used when Prolog is to be dormant
for a period, or as much free memory as possible is desired.
