Subject: [ruby-core:47526] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7022] add event hook for garbage collection


Issue #7022 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel).


You can't add an event hook for the start of garbage collection. Ruby is out of space for creating the necessary objects.

I think #2565 is a better solution, even though it happens at a lower level.

Also note that there is API for collecting garbage collection and objects pace statistics that can be used for similar purposes.

It would be useful for profilers to have more insight into garbage collection.  Feature request: add event hooks for garbage collect start/stop.  For the lazy sweep, start and stop events would also be interesting.
Thanks.
