require() features_index bloats size of ruby heap

Added by tmm1 (Aman Karmani) almost 12 years ago. Updated over 11 years ago.


Description

The new features_index for require() in 2.0.0 creates a lot of extra ARRAY and STRING objects. In a big rails application, there are ~70k extra strings and ~70k extra arrays on the heap after boot.

$ RAILS_ENV=production ruby -e' puts RUBY_VERSION; require "./config/environment"; p [:NUM_LOADED_FEATURES, $LOADED_FEATURES.size]; GC.start; p ObjectSpace.count_objects.select{ |k,v| [:T_STRING, :T_ARRAY, :T_HASH].include? k } '
1.9.3
[:NUM_LOADED_FEATURES, 2933]
{:T_STRING=>291147, :T_ARRAY=>97402, :T_HASH=>9439}

$ RAILS_ENV=production ruby -e' puts RUBY_VERSION; require "./config/environment"; p [:NUM_LOADED_FEATURES, $LOADED_FEATURES.size]; GC.start; p ObjectSpace.count_objects.select{ |k,v| [:T_STRING, :T_ARRAY, :T_HASH].include? k } '
2.0.0
[:NUM_LOADED_FEATURES, 2945]
{:T_STRING=>363183, :T_ARRAY=>167871, :T_HASH=>9640}

The following patch reduces the number of arrays used by the features_index:
