Re: Forcing a GC collection from within the allocator?

[Mark Hamburg <mark@...>]

Note that for non-Lua allocations you can frequently fire off a GC if  
you run out of space. Be careful if you are running multi-threaded.  
You don't want a background thread starting a GC while the foreground  
thread is running regular Lua logic. You may even want to run the GC a  
few times to flush through finalization logic.
