Hi Alexandre,

In the "Platform Specific Issues" you find answers to
this question:

Using NEW and garbage collection in your applications

If you are calling NEW in your application and thereby implicitly
use the garbage collector, you must link the Kernel into the
application. The NEW-procedure is implemented in the kernel,
the compiler just generates the code to call this procedure. So
every module using NEW has a hidden import of the kernel.
Don't call WinApi.ExitProcess directly when "importing" the
kernel, call Kernel.Quit with parameter 0 instead to assure
that occupied system resources get properly released before
the application is terminated.

Programs don't need to call the garbage collector explicitly.
If the NEW-procedure cannot satisfy a request for heap
space, it calls the garbage collector internally before allocating
a new heap block from the Windows Memory Manager.
The garbage collector marks pointers in stack frames and is
able to run anytime.

regards
