proc GC_enableMarkAndSweep*() {.rtl, benign.}

## The current implementation uses a reference counting garbage collector
## with a seldomly run mark and sweep phase to free cycles. The mark and
## sweep phase may take a long time and is not needed if the application
## does not create cycles. Thus the mark and sweep phase can be deactivated
## and activated separately from the rest of the GC.

## Marks the object `x` as referenced, so that it will not be freed until
## it is unmarked via `GC_unref`.
## If called n-times for the same object `x`,
## n calls to `GC_unref` are needed to unmark `x`.

## Expands operating GC stack range to `theStackBottom`. Does nothing
## if current stack bottom is already lower than `theStackBottom`.
