#
# VERY nice function from Robert Klemme to check memory leaks
# and check on what GC has collected since last call.
#
# Usage can be:
#
#     require 'swig_gc'
#
#     GC.stats
#     # do some stuff..
#     GC.start  # collect and report stats
#     # do some more...
#     GC.stats  # just report stats
#
# or:
#
#     require 'swig_gc'
#
#     GC.track_class = String  # track just String classes
#     GC.stats
#     # do some stuff..
#     GC.start  # collect and report stats
#     # do some more...
#     GC.stats  # just report stats
#
# 
# 
#
