Compile-time constant for HEAP_GROWTH_FACTOR (patch attached)

Added by adgar (Michael Edgar) about 14 years ago. Updated about 11 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
[ruby-core:28487]

Description

=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 .
