module ObjectSpace
The objspace library extends the ObjectSpace
module and adds several methods to get internal statistic information about object/memory management.
You need to require 'objspace'
to use this extension module.
Generally, you *SHOULD NOT* use this library if you do not know about the MRI implementation. Mainly, this library is for (memory) profiler developers and MRI developers who need to know about MRI memory usage.
The ObjectSpace
module contains a number of routines that interact with the garbage collection facility and allow you to traverse all living objects with an iterator.
ObjectSpace
also provides support for object finalizers, procs that will be called when a specific object is about to be destroyed by garbage collection. See the documentation for ObjectSpace.define_finalizer
for important information on how to use this method correctly.
a = "A" b = "B" ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(a, proc {|id| puts "Finalizer one on #{id}" }) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(b, proc {|id| puts "Finalizer two on #{id}" }) a = nil b = nil
produces:
Finalizer two on 537763470 Finalizer one on 537763480

This method is only for MRI developers interested in performance and memory usage of Ruby programs.
It returns a hash as:
{:imemo_ifunc=>8, :imemo_svar=>7, :imemo_cref=>509, :imemo_memo=>1, :imemo_throw_data=>1}
If the optional argument, result_hash, is given, it is overwritten and returned. This is intended to avoid probe effect.
The contents of the returned hash is implementation specific and may change in the future.
In this version, keys are symbol objects.
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby.

The contents of the returned hash are implementation specific. It may be changed in future.
The keys starting with :T_
means live objects. For example, :T_ARRAY
is the number of arrays. :FREE
means object slots which is not used now. :TOTAL
means sum of above.
If the optional argument result_hash
is given, it is overwritten and returned. This is intended to avoid probe effect.

Counts objects size (in bytes) for each type.
Note that this information is incomplete. You need to deal with this information as only a HINT. Especially, total size of T_DATA may be wrong.

On this version of MRI, they have 3 types of Symbols (and 1 total counts).
* mortal_dynamic_symbol: GC target symbols (collected by GC) * immortal_dynamic_symbol: Immortal symbols promoted from dynamic symbols (do not collected by GC) * immortal_static_symbol: Immortal symbols (do not collected by GC) * immortal_symbol: total immortal symbols (immortal_dynamic_symbol+immortal_static_symbol)

Counts objects for each T_DATA
type.
This method is only for MRI developers interested in performance and memory usage of Ruby programs.
It returns a hash as:
{RubyVM::InstructionSequence=>504, :parser=>5, :barrier=>6, :mutex=>6, Proc=>60, RubyVM::Env=>57, Mutex=>1, Encoding=>99, ThreadGroup=>1, Binding=>1, Thread=>1, RubyVM=>1, :iseq=>1, Random=>1, ARGF.class=>1, Data=>1, :autoload=>3, Time=>2} # T_DATA objects existing at startup on r32276.
If the optional argument, result_hash, is given, it is overwritten and returned. This is intended to avoid probe effect.
The contents of the returned hash is implementation specific and may change in the future.
In this version, keys are Class
object or Symbol
object.
If object is kind of normal (accessible) object, the key is Class
object. If object is not a kind of normal (internal) object, the key is symbol name, registered by rb_data_type_struct.
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby.
static VALUE count_tdata_objects(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) { VALUE hash = setup_hash(argc, argv); each_object_with_flags(cto_i, (void *)hash); return hash; }
Adds aProc as a finalizer, to be called after obj was destroyed. The object ID of the obj will be passed as an argument to aProc. If aProc is a lambda or method, make sure it can be called with a single argument.
The return value is an array [0, aProc]
.
The two recommended patterns are to either create the finaliser proc in a non-instance method where it can safely capture the needed state, or to use a custom callable object that stores the needed state explicitly as instance variables.
class Foo def initialize(data_needed_for_finalization) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, self.class.create_finalizer(data_needed_for_finalization)) end def self.create_finalizer(data_needed_for_finalization) proc { puts "finalizing #{data_needed_for_finalization}" } end end class Bar class Remover def initialize(data_needed_for_finalization) @data_needed_for_finalization = data_needed_for_finalization end def call(id) puts "finalizing #{@data_needed_for_finalization}" end end def initialize(data_needed_for_finalization) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, Remover.new(data_needed_for_finalization)) end end
Note that if your finalizer references the object to be finalized it will never be run on GC
, although it will still be run at exit. You will get a warning if you capture the object to be finalized as the receiver of the finalizer.
class CapturesSelf def initialize(name) ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, proc { # this finalizer will only be run on exit puts "finalizing #{name}" }) end end
Also note that finalization can be unpredictable and is never guaranteed to be run except on exit.
static VALUE define_final(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE os) { VALUE obj, block; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", &obj, &block); should_be_finalizable(obj); if (argc == 1) { block = rb_block_proc(); } else { should_be_callable(block); } if (rb_callable_receiver(block) == obj) { rb_warn("finalizer references object to be finalized"); } return define_final0(obj, block); }
Calls the block once for each living, nonimmediate object in this Ruby process. If module is specified, calls the block for only those classes or modules that match (or are a subclass of) module. Returns the number of objects found. Immediate objects (Fixnum
s, Symbol
s true
, false
, and nil
) are never returned. In the example below, each_object returns both the numbers we defined and several constants defined in the Math
module.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
a = 102.7 b = 95 # Won't be returned c = 12345678987654321 count = ObjectSpace.each_object(Numeric) {|x| p x } puts "Total count: #{count}"

Return consuming memory size of obj in bytes.
Note that the return size is incomplete. You need to deal with this information as only a HINT. Especially, the size of T_DATA
may not be correct.
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby.
From Ruby 2.2, memsize_of
(obj) returns a memory size includes sizeof(RVALUE).
static VALUE memsize_of_m(VALUE self, VALUE obj) { return SIZET2NUM(rb_obj_memsize_of(obj)); }
Return consuming memory size of all living objects in bytes.
If klass
(should be Class
object) is given, return the total memory size of instances of the given class.
Note that the returned size is incomplete. You need to deal with this information as only a HINT. Especially, the size of T_DATA
may not be correct.
Note that this method does NOT return total malloc’ed memory size.
This method can be defined by the following Ruby code:
def memsize_of_all klass = false total = 0 ObjectSpace.each_object{|e| total += ObjectSpace.memsize_of(e) if klass == false || e.kind_of?(klass) } total end

Return all reachable objects from ‘obj’.
This method returns all reachable objects from ‘obj’.
If ‘obj’ has two or more references to the same object ‘x’, then returned array only includes one ‘x’ object.
If ‘obj’ is a non-markable (non-heap management) object such as true, false, nil, symbols and Fixnums (and Flonum) then it simply returns nil.
If ‘obj’ has references to an internal object, then it returns instances of ObjectSpace::InternalObjectWrapper
class. This object contains a reference to an internal object and you can check the type of internal object with ‘type’ method.
If ‘obj’ is instance of ObjectSpace::InternalObjectWrapper
class, then this method returns all reachable object from an internal object, which is pointed by ‘obj’.
With this method, you can find memory leaks.
This method is only expected to work except with C Ruby.
Example:
ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(['a', 'b', 'c']) #=> [Array, 'a', 'b', 'c'] ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(['a', 'a', 'a']) #=> [Array, 'a', 'a', 'a'] # all 'a' strings have different object id ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from([v = 'a', v, v]) #=> [Array, 'a'] ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(1) #=> nil # 1 is not markable (heap managed) object

Starts tracing object allocations from the ObjectSpace
extension module.
For example:
require 'objspace' class C include ObjectSpace def foo trace_object_allocations do obj = Object.new p "#{allocation_sourcefile(obj)}:#{allocation_sourceline(obj)}" end end end C.new.foo #=> "objtrace.rb:8"
This example has included the ObjectSpace
module to make it easier to read, but you can also use the ::trace_object_allocations
notation (recommended).
Note that this feature introduces a huge performance decrease and huge memory consumption.

Stop tracing object allocations.
Note that if ::trace_object_allocations_start
