/*!
    Evaluates \a program, using \a lineNumber as the base line number,
    and returns the result of the evaluation.

    The script code will be evaluated in the current context.

    The evaluation of \a program can cause an exception in the
    engine; in this case the return value will be the exception
    that was thrown (typically an \c{Error} object). You can call
    hasUncaughtException() to determine if an exception occurred in
    the last call to evaluate().

    \a lineNumber is used to specify a starting line number for \a
    program; line number information reported by the engine that pertain
    to this evaluation (e.g. uncaughtExceptionLineNumber()) will be
    based on this argument. For example, if \a program consists of two
    lines of code, and the statement on the second line causes a script
    exception, uncaughtExceptionLineNumber() would return the given \a
    lineNumber plus one. When no starting line number is specified, line
    numbers will be 1-based.

    \a fileName is used for error reporting. For example in error objects
    the file name is accessible through the "fileName" property if it's
    provided with this function.

    Runs the garbage collector.

    The garbage collector will attempt to reclaim memory by locating and disposing of objects that are
    no longer reachable in the script environment.

    Normally you don't need to call this function; the garbage collector will automatically be invoked
    when the QScriptEngine decides that it's wise to do so (i.e. when a certain number of new objects
    have been created). However, you can call this function to explicitly request that garbage
    collection should be performed as soon as possible.

  Reports an additional memory cost of the given \a size, measured in

  This function can be called to indicate that a JavaScript object has
  memory associated with it that isn't managed by Qt Script itself.
  Reporting the additional cost makes it more likely that the garbage
  collector will be triggered.

  Note that if the additional memory is shared with objects outside
  the scripting environment, the cost should not be reported, since
  collecting the JavaScript object would not cause the memory to be
  freed anyway.

  Negative \a size values are ignored, i.e. this function can't be
  used to report that the additional memory has been deallocated.
