We still encountered a gc_sweep in our use of Ruby 1.8 on Linux (v8).

Yes, there are several (Ruby) threads working during this gc_sweep.

of course this effects 300 machines ;-)

A classic of evaluating strings is evaluating SQL code, and almost
invariably it involves inserting into a SQL code string some values coming
from the surrounding language. Those values must be converted
appropriately and safely, e.g. strings must be properly quoted. Then the
"?" placeholder has been introduced specially for that purpose.

In this case, it's almost the same situation, but about embedding Ruby
code into Ruby code.

I wanted to show that there is prior art for that feature, and that it's
in wide use.

I've hit that problem before while writing a code generator in Ruby, 2
years ago. But I don't quite recall how I solved the problem, but it may
have been using class variables or even global variables. Their use is
pretty much justified when there's no other workaround that makes sense.

Then I don't quite know what this mailinglist is for... I thought
ruby-core was shorthand for hardcore ruby, i mean with the black leather
and such, for the kinkier of us. ;-)
