[ruby-core:94897] [Ruby master Feature#10238] todo: remove dependency on malloc_usable_size

Issue #10238 has been updated by shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe).


Bump.  I would like to revisit this.  Do we need this many call to malloc_usable_size()?

----------------------------------------
malloc_usable_size shows up at or near the top of many profiles for me.

We should be able to use ruby_sized_xfree in more places; especially
if rb_data_type_t->dsize is defined.

One possible improvement is to allow the rb_data_type_t->dsize pointer
to be a FIXNUM, removing the need for some memsize functions.

Furthermore, over-accounting malloc-ed bytes (presumably the reason
malloc_usable_size was introduced). should be less harmful nowadays with
incremental marking.
