module GC::Profiler
The GC profiler provides access to information on GC runs including time, length and object space size.
Example:
GC::Profiler.enable require 'rdoc/rdoc' GC::Profiler.report GC::Profiler.disable
See also GC.count, GC.malloc_allocated_size and GC.malloc_allocations
Public Class Methods
Clears the GC profiler data.
static VALUE gc_profile_clear(void) { rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace; if (GC_PROFILE_RECORD_DEFAULT_SIZE * 2 < objspace->profile.size) { objspace->profile.size = GC_PROFILE_RECORD_DEFAULT_SIZE * 2; objspace->profile.record = realloc(objspace->profile.record, sizeof(gc_profile_record) * objspace->profile.size); if (!objspace->profile.record) { rb_memerror(); } } MEMZERO(objspace->profile.record, gc_profile_record, objspace->profile.size); objspace->profile.count = 0; return Qnil; }
Stops the GC profiler.
static VALUE gc_profile_disable(void) { rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace; objspace->profile.run = FALSE; return Qnil; }
Starts the GC profiler.
static VALUE gc_profile_enable(void) { rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace; objspace->profile.run = TRUE; return Qnil; }
The current status of GC profile mode.
static VALUE gc_profile_enable_get(VALUE self) { rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace; return objspace->profile.run ? Qtrue : Qfalse; }
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
: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_SLOTS
:HEAP_LIVE_OBJECTS
:HEAP_FREE_OBJECTS
:HAVE_FINALIZE

Returns a profile data report such as:

static VALUE gc_profile_result(void) { VALUE str = rb_str_buf_new(0); gc_profile_dump_on(str, rb_str_buf_append); return str; }
The total time used for garbage collection in seconds
static VALUE gc_profile_total_time(VALUE self) { double time = 0; rb_objspace_t *objspace = &rb_objspace; size_t i; if (objspace->profile.run && objspace->profile.count) { for (i = 0; i < objspace->profile.count; i++) { time += objspace->profile.record[i].gc_time; } } return DBL2NUM(time); }
