Re: Manual Memory Management
ah okay. I think I understand the concerns. would the dangling
pointer issue be corrected by the next GC run if I could manually mark
the freed (and recycled object)?
the motivation for this was that I found myself in a situation where I
had to load up large objects from time to time within a long running
process but I only had to use each of them for a short period of
time. the process normally doesn't need very much memory but during
those moments it does. based on some experimentation (and consistent
with the explanation here I think: http://whytheluckystiff.net/articles/theFullyUpturnedBin.html)
it seemed that the garbage collector would only run when the next
large object was larger than the previous large object, and the ruby
process retained its large memory footprint throughout. calling the
GC manually after each large object went out of scope seemed like an
excessive amount of work for ruby to do.
