Feature #2837
Updated by nahi (Hiroshi Nakamura) about 12 years ago
=begin The GC currently increases the size at which newly-created heaps by a factor of 1.8 for each heap. Some find it appropriate to modify this value (REE uses a value of 1 instead of 1.8, for example). In the trunk version of this code, that value is hard-coded in as a constant at 1.8 in gc.c:980. I've included a patch to expose this as a compile-time constant (HEAP_GROW_FACTOR), and also included getters and setters in the style of the patch I submitted in Issue 1047: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1047 . =end
