Consolidates the internal storage of this collection by discarding all elements of the internal storage that
have become obsolete or otherwise unneeded anymore.
Method Details
long consolidate ()
Consolidates the internal storage of this collection by discarding all elements of the internal storage that
have become obsolete or otherwise unneeded anymore. (e.g.
WeakReference entries whose reference has
been cleared).
If this is not possible or not needed in the concrete implementation, this method does nothing and returns 0.
Returns: the number of discarded entries.
