Bug #10537
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 9 years ago
~~~ruby ~~~ require 'weakref' a = Object.new 1_000_000.times do WeakRef.new a end GC.start ~~~ The above results in Ruby consuming ~150 MB of RAM, all of which can only be freed by dropping `a`. This should not be the case - an object being weakly referenced should not itself hold a reference to the WeakRef (or any associated data) pointing at it.
