Issue #5033 has been updated by Yusuke Endoh. Personally I don't think goto matters so much in GC implementation. But I'm not sure if the patch is actually so effective. Did you benchmark? If you did, could you show it? -- Yusuke Endoh ---------------------------------------- Feature #5033: PATCH: 1.9: gc_mark_children: Avoid gc_mark() tail recursion, use goto again. http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5033 Author: Kurt Stephens Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: Narihiro Nakamura Category: core Target version: 1.9.x Minor GC improvement.
