MemoryMonitorWarningLevel

Added in version 2.64.

Memory availability warning levels.

Note that because new values might be added, it is recommended that applications check MemoryMonitorWarningLevel as ranges, for example:

if (warning_level > G_MEMORY_MONITOR_WARNING_LEVEL_LOW)
  drop_caches ();

Fields

class MemoryMonitorWarningLevel

CRITICAL: The system will soon start terminating processes to reclaim memory, including background processes.

LOW: Memory on the device is low, processes should free up unneeded resources (for example, in-memory caches) so they can be used elsewhere.

MEDIUM: Same as G_MEMORY_MONITOR_WARNING_LEVEL_LOW but the device has even less free memory, so processes should try harder to free up unneeded resources. If your process does not need to stay running, it is a good time for it to quit.
