I tried in there also.Here is the code.--


rb_gc_start()
{
    rb_gc();
    return Qnil;
    printf("Hello!!")
}

It is compiling but is not showing the hello message when i am running 
the code.Here is my ruby code--

print "Please enter number 1 : ";
val1 = gets;
print "Please enter number 2 : ";
val2 = gets;
print "Answer : " , (val1.to_i + val2.to_i), "\n";
ct = 1;
while(ct<100)
    a=[];
    na = 0;
    while(na<1000)
        a[na]=na;
        na = na+1;
    end;
    print ct;
    ct=ct+1;
end;

How to see that hello message and how to know when Garbage Collector is 
doing its work.
