Abstract
An electronic system comprises a processor, memory coupled to the processor, and an application programming interface that causes an embedded garbage collection object to be active. The memory stores one or more objects that selectively have references from root objects. The embedded garbage collection object preferably uses control data to cause objects to be removed from said memory, the removed objects comprise those objects that were created while an embedded garbage collection object was active and that do not have references from root objects.
