I want gc functionality as well but they are not the same. cleanup_non_empty_nulls avoid copying the data if there are no non empty lists, gc from how I see it will call gc on the childs as wells which is not the use case for this function, the use case is to prepare for other kernels to work there are also open questions about gc. if there are still references to the underlying buffers will it copy the data? because then gc can increase memory usage rather than decrease it. and if it will do nothing, than it won't cleanup the non empty lists behind nulls. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
