In order to reliably test compaction we need to be able to move objects between size pools. In order for this to happen there must be pages in a size pool into which we can allocate. The existing implementation of `double_heap` only doubled the existing number of pages in the heap, so if a size pool had a low number of pages (or 0) it's not guaranteed that enough space will be created to move objects into that size pool. This commit deprecates the `double_heap` option and replaces it with `expand_heap` instead. expand heap will expand each heap by enough pages to hold a number of slots defined by `GC_HEAP_INIT_SLOTS` or by `heap->total_pags` whichever is larger. If both `double_heap` and `expand_heap` are present, a deprecation warning will be shown for `double_heap` and the `expand_heap` behaviour will take precedence Given that this is an API intended for debugging and testing GC compaction I'm not concerned about the extra memory usage or time taken to create the pages. However, for completeness: Running the following `test.rb` and using `time` on my Macbook Pro shows the following memory usage and time impact: pp "RSS (kb): #{`ps -o rss #{Process.pid}`.lines.last.to_i}" GC.verify_compaction_references(double_heap: true, toward: :empty) pp "RSS (kb): #{`ps -o rss #{Process.pid}`.lines.last.to_i}" ❯ time make run ./miniruby -I./lib -I. -I.ext/common -r./arm64-darwin21-fake ./test.rb "RSS (kb): 24000" <internal:gc>:251: warning: double_heap is deprecated and will be removed "RSS (kb): 25232" ________________________________________________________ Executed in 124.37 millis fish external usr time 82.22 millis 0.09 millis 82.12 millis sys time 28.76 millis 2.61 millis 26.15 millis ❯ time make run ./miniruby -I./lib -I. -I.ext/common -r./arm64-darwin21-fake ./test.rb "RSS (kb): 24000" "RSS (kb): 49040" ________________________________________________________ Executed in 150.13 millis fish external usr time 103.32 millis 0.10 millis 103.22 millis sys time 35.73 millis 2.59 millis 33.14 millis |

What is Ruby?
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/maintainers.rdoc#label-Platform+Maintainers
