## gsgc-step-generation

Arguments:

Calling this function, which returns the new value of the `:current-generation` parameter, increases the current generation number and, if necessary, the value of `:tenure-limit` as well. Since tenuring only occurs at scavenge time and calling this function does not cause a scavenge, objects are not tenured simply by a call to this function. Users should be sure that this function is called regularly, either by having the value of the switch `:auto-step` be true, or by explicitly calling this function.

See System parameters and switches in gc.htm for more information on garbage collection and gsgc switches.
