[#31843] Garbage Collection Question — Asher <asher@...>

This question is no doubt a function of my own lack of understanding, but I think that asking it will at least help some other folks see what's going on with the internals during garbage collection.

Right - so how does a pointer ever get off the stack?

I very much appreciate the response, and this is helpful in describing the narrative, but it's still a few steps behind my question - but it may very well have clarified some points that help us get there.

You have introduced something called a "root node" without defining it. What do you mean by this?

[ruby-core:31692] [Bug #3677] unable to run certain gem binaries' in windows 7

From: Luis Lavena <redmine@...>

List: ruby-core #31692
Issue #3677 has been updated by Luis Lavena.


Hello,

Bosko (one of RubyInstaller contributors) shed some light on this issue in our group:

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/msg/249a08a3f635bf72

Going to quote it here:


"Problem is that during installation in rbinstall.rb line 
516 default .gemspec files are created for rake, rdoc and minitest. These 
files are saved by default in lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications. If 
everything is left by default other gems will be installed there too (that's 
why this problem can occur on Linux too). Since these specifications do not 
contain default_executable and executables sections invoking them results in 
error. If rvm is used on Linux error will not occur because gems will be 
installed in different folder and load path is set to that folder and 
rake.gemspec and rake-0.8.7.gemspec will not both be loaded. Later one has 
correct sections for default_executable and executables thus everything will 
work correctly. 

Unfortunately in our RubyInstaller both of these files will be in the same 
directory and that's the reason why reinstalling rake doesn't help unless 
rake.gemspec is deleted since this specification is loaded after 
rake-0.8.7.gemspec and overrides it. I'm not sure what would be the best 
approach to fix this problem. Either not to bundle rake with Ruby or to 
create correct .gemspec file. We can also set different installation 
directory too  like rvm does."

I believe this is important to be fixed before 1.9.2 release gets out. Not all the users will be using RVM to manage their Ruby installations.
