# Prelude.gcDisable(3kaya)

Switch off garbage collector.

## NAME

Prelude::gcDisable - Switch off garbage collector.

## SYNOPSIS

**Void gcDisable(** **)**

## DESCRIPTION

You may want this, for example, before executing some time-critical\
      code which should not be interrupted by a garbage collection.\
      Even explicit calls to **Prelude.gc (3kaya)** () are ineffective while collection is disabled.
