Can I add a new file and try to manually free memory(disabling GC)? I am sure, both can be achieved with an amount of hacking Ruby's source code. So: yes and yes. What I do not understand: what is the aim of your research? I mean, people have spent numerous hours of research and engineering to make automatic GC work, and you seem to be mainly concerned with adding manual memory management to a language which has automatic GC. What is the point of your research? Kind regards robert -- remember.guy do |as, often| as.you_can - without end http://blog.rubybestpractices.com/
