module GC::Profiler - RDoc Documentation

GC::Profiler.clear → nil click to toggle source

Clears the GC profiler data.

static VALUE
gc_profile_clear(VALUE _)
{
    rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace;
    void *p = objspace->profile.records;
    objspace->profile.records = NULL;
    objspace->profile.size = 0;
    objspace->profile.next_index = 0;
    objspace->profile.current_record = 0;
    free(p);
    return Qnil;
}

GC::Profiler.disable → nil click to toggle source

Stops the GC profiler.

static VALUE
gc_profile_disable(VALUE _)
{
    rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace;

    objspace->profile.run = FALSE;
    objspace->profile.current_record = 0;
    return Qnil;
}

GC::Profiler.enable → nil click to toggle source

Starts the GC profiler.

static VALUE
gc_profile_enable(VALUE _)
{
    rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace;
    objspace->profile.run = TRUE;
    objspace->profile.current_record = 0;
    return Qnil;
}

GC::Profiler.enabled? → true or false click to toggle source

The current status of GC profile mode.

static VALUE
gc_profile_enable_get(VALUE self)
{
    rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace;
    return RBOOL(objspace->profile.run);
}

GC::Profiler.raw_data → [Hash, ...] click to toggle source

Returns an Array of individual raw profile data Hashes ordered from earliest to latest by :GC_INVOKE_TIME.

For example:

[
  {
     :GC_TIME=>1.3000000000000858e-05,
     :GC_INVOKE_TIME=>0.010634999999999999,
     :HEAP_USE_SIZE=>289640,
     :HEAP_TOTAL_SIZE=>588960,
     :HEAP_TOTAL_OBJECTS=>14724,
     :GC_IS_MARKED=>false
  },
  # ...
]

The keys mean:

:GC_TIME: Time elapsed in seconds for this GC run
:GC_INVOKE_TIME: Time elapsed in seconds from startup to when the GC was invoked
:HEAP_USE_SIZE: Total bytes of heap used
:HEAP_TOTAL_SIZE: Total size of heap in bytes
:HEAP_TOTAL_OBJECTS: Total number of objects
:GC_IS_MARKED: Returns true if the GC is in mark phase

If ruby was built with GC_PROFILE_MORE_DETAIL, you will also have access to the following hash keys:

:GC_MARK_TIME
:GC_SWEEP_TIME
:ALLOCATE_INCREASE
:ALLOCATE_LIMIT
:HEAP_USE_PAGES
:HEAP_LIVE_OBJECTS
:HEAP_FREE_OBJECTS
:HAVE_FINALIZE
