NAME

     gcInitialize - configure  Sun  WorkShop  Memory  Monitor  at
     startup

SYNOPSIS

     #include <gct.h>

     gcInitFunction gcInitialize(void);

MT-LEVEL

     Should not be called by user threads.

DESCRIPTION

     The  Sun  WorkShop  Memory  Monitor  calls  gcInitialize  at
     startup  to  give the user the opportunity to configure set-
     tings.  Users may define their own settings by  including  a
     function named gcInitialize in their programs using the form
     above.

     User programs should not call gcInitialize directly.

     To use the Sun WorkShop Memory Monitor you  must  link  your
     program   with  one  of  the  Sun  WorkShop  Memory  Monitor
     libraries (see FILES).

RETURN VALUES

     Do not return a value from gcInitialize.

EXAMPLES

     #include <gct.h>
     . . .
     gcInitFunction gcInitialize(void)
     {
          gcFixPrematureFrees();
     }
