Previously I assumed it was useless, however I was wrong. The method is called by the reloader to give the illusion that the GC is precise. Meaning a class that will be unloaded is immediately made invisible without waiting for it to be garbage collected. This is easy to do up to Ruby 3.0 because `DescendantTracker` keeps a map of all tracked classes. However on 3.1 we need to use the inverse strategy, we keep a WeakMap of all the classes we cleared, and we filter the return value of `descendants` and `subclasses`. Since `clear` is private API and is only used when reloading is enabled, to reduce the performance impact in production mode, we entirely remove this behavior when `config.cache_classes` is enabled. |
