Bug #10431: Can’t sweep garbage object immediatly when
GC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP=0

  • Author: Masahiro Ide
  • Status: Open
  • Priority: Normal
  • Assignee:
  • Category: core
  • Target version: current: 2.2.0
  • ruby -v: ruby 2.2.0dev (2014-10-26 trunk 48073) [x86_64-darwin14]
  • Backport: 2.0.0: DONTNEED, 2.1: DONTNEED

GC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP=0と設定してrubyをビルドし，以下のコードを
実行した場合，GC時にオブジェクトが解放されていないように見えます．

$ ../configure  CFLAGS="-DGC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP=0" && make miniruby
$ cat bug2.rb
GC.disable
10000.times { Object.new }
total_freed_objects1 = GC.stat[:total_freed_objects]
GC.enable
GC.start(full_mark: true, immediate_sweep: true)
total_freed_objects2 = GC.stat[:total_freed_objects]
puts "freed object : #{total_freed_objects2 - total_freed_objects1}"

$ ./miniruby -v
ruby 2.2.0dev (2014-10-26 trunk 48073) [x86_64-darwin14]
$ ./miniruby bug2.rb
freed object : 0

また，rubyのコンパイルフラグをGC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP=0,
RGENGC_CHECK_MODE=1と設定した上でビルドし，以下のコードを実行すると
assertで落ちます．

$ ./miniruby -e '10000.times { Object.new }'
Assertion failed: (objspace->flags.stat == gc_stat_none), function 
gc_start, file ../gc.c, line 5802.
[1]    91336 abort      ./miniruby -e '10000.times { Object.new }'

sweepフェーズにてGC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP!=1の時のみsweepが実行されるのが
原因のようですので，これを修正するパッチを作りました．

            gc_sweep_step(objspace, heap);

     }

English:

When I tried to compile ruby with GC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP=0,
Ruby does not sweep objects immediatly.

$ ../configure  CFLAGS="-DGC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP=0" && make miniruby
$ cat bug2.rb
GC.disable
10000.times { Object.new }
total_freed_objects1 = GC.stat[:total_freed_objects]
GC.enable
GC.start(full_mark: true, immediate_sweep: true)
total_freed_objects2 = GC.stat[:total_freed_objects]
puts "freed object : #{total_freed_objects2 - total_freed_objects1}"

$ ./miniruby -v
ruby 2.2.0dev (2014-10-26 trunk 48073) [x86_64-darwin14]
$ ./miniruby bug2.rb
freed object : 0

In addition, when I set GC_ENABLE_LAZY_SWEEP=0 and RGENGC_CHECK_MODE=1
ruby gives me assertion error like this:

$ ./miniruby -e '10000.times { Object.new }'
Assertion failed: (objspace->flags.stat == gc_stat_none), function 
gc_start, file ../gc.c, line 5802.
[1]    91336 abort      ./miniruby -e '10000.times { Object.new }'

The following patch fix this problem.
