hi,

I am developing a project which does not need garbage collection.
Could someone please let me know how to do it..

There are two options to jre for this (noasyncgc,noclassgc)

However, no classgc can be used only for a single class which would be the main application class.

I am totally confused about this. Could you plz direct me abt this?

Are you sure you don't need garbage collection? What is to be gained by turning it off if it's not required?

Hi,

My application is a real time application and since garbage collection is unpredictable, it is posing problems.

I think there will be problems without GC. The memory will be never deallocated.
General rule is GC is running if you are gonna out ouf memory, if your application need so small memory, that don't need it, than the GC will be probably never started.

Hi,

I don't think you can or need to use -noasyncgc anymore.

Try this link:

Hope this helps!

How can you not use garbage collection?Java does not have manual memory allocation-deallocation ac C++.What'll you do about the objects that your program will make?
