[#176457] Minimizing memory allocations — Ilmari Heikkinen <ilmari.heikkinen@...>
So there I was this morning, staring at an ObjectSpace counter tellingme that I'm allocating 1500 Arrays and 10000 Floats per frame. Whichpretty much ground my framerate to ground by requiring a 0.2s GC runevery other frame. So I decided to get down and rid my code of as manyallocations as possible.

Francis Hwang:
"Whatever, dude. That's because we're too cool to hang out with you."
Threads
=======
Dice Roller (#61)
-----------------
Matthew D Moss came up with this week's Ruby Quiz.
"Time to release your inner nerd."
Write a dice roller for D&D-like games that takes an expression like
"5d5-4)d(16/d4)+3" and the number of times to roll the dice, and returns
stats for your character.
"The meat of this quiz is going to be parsing the dice expression".
Matt Lawrence: "REAL gamers roll 100 sided dice (aka Zoccihedron)".
XML pretty printing?
--------------------
Chris McMahon asked if Ruby has any libraries to make "pretty" XML?
James Britt said that REXML has options for outputting XML with
indentation, see e.g. REXML::Document#write.
ruby-dev summary 28027-28205
----------------------------
Takaaki Tateishi summarised the Japanese mailing list ruby-dev.
Process.exec has been added to Ruby 1.9, and patches were also merged
allowing Intel's compiler to compile Ruby on IA64. (But some tests still
fail.)
Talking to Java Code from Ruby
------------------------------
Kevin Brown was using YAJB (Yet Another Java Bridge) to utilise the Java
library JasperReports from Ruby, but was getting a "No such method" error
when trying to call a particular overloaded method.
"So is there a way to specify types for overloaded methods, or do I need
to use RJB?"
| I would like to use yajb because it's pure ruby and pure java, meaning
| no compiling, and installs are easy. The communication being slow makes
| almost zero difference to me because I won't be doing very much
| communication, just spawning off processor hogs with the thing.
Masashi Sakurai said that the error was correct - Kevin was passing the
wrong parameters to the method, and he supplied a fixed version of his
code.
"The yajb tries to search the overloaded method as java does. So, giving
appropriate arguments, you can choose the method."
In the meantime, Kevin had got it working with RJB, and had presumably
made the same fix somewhere along the line.
Another milestone for Ruby!
---------------------------
Jeremy Henty reported from the Jifty home page:
| Jifty is written in Perl. If you're familiar with Ruby, Perl might feel
| like Ruby's quirky big brother.
"You know you've arrived when people try to describe Perl by comparing it

Jifty is a web application framework for Perl, featuring continuations,

Ruby PDA implementation?
------------------------
We accidently reported on an old Ruby-on-mobiles thread last week, but
this one's definitely fresh, and has more information than the old one.
gregarican re-asked about Ruby on PDAs, and Jason Tell linked to his blog
post showing success at running Ruby on an iPAQ with the Windows Mobile
operating system.
gregarican gets Wince::Strerror exceptions with various operations. Does
anyone have an idea?
New Releases
============
KirbyBase 2.5.2
---------------
Jamey Cribbs made a new release of KirbyBase, a pure-Ruby database
management system that uses plain text for all its files.
KBTable#insert behaviour has changed. If the user specifies nil for a
field then nil will be used, rather than the default value of the field.
Subversion 1.3.0 released.
--------------------------
Kouhei Sutou noted the release of Subversion 1.3.0, which now comes with
complete Ruby bindings.
RForum 0.2
----------
Andreas S. announced the second version of RForum (web forum sofware that
also integrates with mailing lists).
Many improvements were made, including new stylesheets and support for the
Ferret search engine.
Rote 0.3.2 released
-------------------
"Rote is a lightweight, powerful documentation and templating system that
provides an easy-to-use Rake-based build for your software documentation
and other static text for the web."
Several new features were added, and bugs fixed.
Family Connection 1.0
---------------------
Duane Johnson released 1.0 of Family Connection, "an easy-to-setup online
hub for your family that includes a Family News section, and an Address
Book."
SwitchTower 0.10.0
------------------
Jamis Buck announced a new version of SwitchTower, fixing "several
longstanding issues", as well as adding some new functionality.
"I anticipate one (or at most two) more releases before 1.0."
| SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on
| multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include
| commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for
| your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain
| roles. It was developed primarily to ease the pain of deploying Rails
| applications to multiple machines, but can be used for a great deal more
| than that.
Rio 0.3.7
---------
Rio now supports pipe syntax and behaviour, and has improved treatment of
Windows paths.
Rio is a "Ruby I/O convenience class wrapping much of the functionality of
IO, File and Dir."
An example:
####
Create a tab separated file of accounts in a UNIX passwd file,
listing only the username, uid, and realname fields
rio('/etc/passwd').csv(':').columns(0,2,4) > rio('rpt').csv("\t")
####
Harpo:
| Bravo !
|
| ... Because :
| . It is very useful.
| . It is well documented.
Instant Rails 1.0 Final has been released!
------------------------------------------
Curt Hibbs announced Instant Rails 1.0 Final.
| Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby,
| Rails, Apache, and MySQL, all preconfigured and ready to run. No

| Rails is for Windows, but there are plans for ports to Linux, BSD, and
