Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have been using Ruby debugger and
want to be able to get stack dumps from irb. How can I get
garbage collection dumps? Also what patch should I use to be
able to tweak the garbage collector a bit?  share|improve this
question just a thought, but if you don't already know the
answers to both these questions, you probably shouldn't be
tweaking the GC at all –  cpjolicoeur Sep 20 '11 at 14:40 I
don`t know anything about Ruby. I just got dropped into a huge
Ruby project. I could do it in Java. Yes though, if you knew the
ugly thing I wanted to do with the GC you would jump through the
computer to slap me up. –  James Andino Sep 20 '11 at 14:45
what's your real goal, here, finding a memory leak? –
