[PATCH] gc.c: reduce parameters for gc_start and garbage_collect

Added by normalperson (Eric Wong) over 6 years ago. Updated over 6 years ago.

Description

Every time I look at gc.c, I get confused by argument ordering:

	gc_start(..., TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, ...)
	gc_start(..., FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, ... )

While we do not have kwargs in C, we can use flags to improve readability:

	gc_start(...,
		GPR_FLAG_FULL_MARK | GPR_FLAG_IMMEDIATE_MARK |
		GPR_FLAG_IMMEDIATE_SWEEP | ...)

It's a little more verbose, but maybe "_FLAG" is unnecessary, even.
