Hi. I think this patch depend too much on inside implementation of MRI. So, I can't agree this patch... Thanks. ---------------------------------------- Feature #1047: request: getters, setters for the GC http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/1047 Author: Roger Pack Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: Narihiro Nakamura Category: Target version: 1.9.x It has been shown that increasing the malloc_limit can have a dramatic effect in speeding up certain programs. ex: Ruby 1.9 normal: real-world/bm_hilbert_matrix.rb, 4.0054624080658,4.09904861450195,4.052255511283875,0.046793103218079,50 ruby 1.9 trunk with increased malloc_limit [1] real-world/bm_hilbert_matrix.rb, 2.87246918678284,2.8920271396637,2.882248163223267,0.009778976440430,50 So I would like to request getters and setters for malloc_limit, HEAP_MIN_SLOTS, etc, if that's possible.
