Refined the documentation for the
gc.collect()
function to provide a more accurate description of its behavior. Specifically, updated the documentation to reflect that the function now returns the sum of the number of objects collected and the number of uncollectable objects. This adjustment aligns the documentation with the existing implementation in gcmodule.c, where the stats returned bygc.collect()
include both collected and uncollectable objects.No changes were made to the gcmodule.c code; this modification focuses solely on improving the clarity of the documentation.
