Is it possible to influence the process of automatic memory cleanup in the runtime environment?

Go has a built-in garbage collector (GC) that automatically manages memory. You can indirectly influence the automatic memory cleanup process through the runtime package.

For example, you can call runtime.GC() to explicitly trigger garbage collection at a specific moment:

import "runtime"

func main() {
    // Explicit call to the garbage collector
    runtime.GC()
}

You can also adjust the aggressiveness of the garbage collector using runtime/debug.SetGCPercent(), where the parameter sets the memory usage threshold at which GC is triggered. The default value is 100 (meaning GC runs when live memory doubles).

import "runtime/debug"

func main() {
    // Set GC trigger threshold to 50%
    debug.SetGCPercent(50)
}

Thus, there is no direct control over the garbage collector, but there are tools to trigger it and adjust parameters affecting its frequency and behavior.
