#define USE_GC 1
Does this define control all GC behaviour? If I set it to zero have I achieved manual memory management in all cases?
Is there an easy to control option for this in any IDE that supports Kotlin or do I have to build my own runtime with the option set the way I want and then manually bind that runtime to my project?
Turning off the GC will not provide manual memory management. Instead the cyclic collector will be disabled, and you will have to deal with cyclic references manually, which is useful for some situations where there are soft real-time performance requirements.
