From: Michael Edgar Date: 2010-03-05T05:20:36+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:28487] [Feature #2837] Compile-time constant for HEAP_GROWTH_FACTOR (patch attached) Feature #2837: Compile-time constant for HEAP_GROWTH_FACTOR (patch attached) http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2837 Author: Michael Edgar Status: Open, Priority: Normal Category: core The GC currently increases the size at which newly-created heaps by a factor of 1.8 for each heap. Some find it appropriate to modify this value (REE uses a value of 1 instead of 1.8, for example). In the trunk version of this code, that value is hard-coded in as a constant at 1.8 in gc.c:980. I've included a patch to expose this as a compile-time constant (HEAP_GROW_FACTOR), and also included getters and setters in the style of the patch I submitted in Issue 1047: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1047 . ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
