Arguments:
Calling this function, which returns the new value of the
:current-generation parameter, increases the current
generation number and, if necessary, the value of
:tenure-limit as well. Since tenuring only occurs at
scavenge time and calling this function does not cause a scavenge,
objects are not tenured simply by a call to this function. Users
should be sure that this function is called regularly, either by
having the value of the switch :auto-step be
true, or by explicitly calling this function.
See System parameters and switches in gc.htm for more information on garbage collection and gsgc switches.
