DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION assertionsEnabled(): Boolean

Return TRUE if assertions are currently enabled.

DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION executorName(): String

Return the name of the executor.

DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION garbageCollect()

Force a garbage collection immediately.  It is not normally necessary to call this function, since garbage collection is automatically run after a predetermined number of new allocations.  Use setGarbageCollectionInterval to change the automatic behaviour.

DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION getAllocatedObjectCount(): Number

Return the number of objects currently allocated.  This includes objects that may be eligible for garbage collection.

DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION isModuleImported( module:  String ): Boolean

Return TRUE if the named module is imported.

DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION moduleIsMain(): Boolean

Return TRUE if the calling module is being run as the main program.  Return FALSE if the calling module has been imported with IMPORT.

DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION setGarbageCollectionInterval( count:  Number )

Set the interval that determines when garbage collection will be run.  The count refers to the number of allocations.  The default is 1000 allocations.  Setting this value to 0 disables automatic garbage collection.

DECLARE NATIVE FUNCTION setRecursionLimit( depth:  Number )

Set the maximum permitted call stack depth.  The default limit is 1000.  Exceeding this limit raises a <StackOverflow> exception.
