From: Nobuyoshi Nakada Date: 2011-10-14T07:12:23+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:40144] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #5444] Object.free Issue #5444 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada. And, of course, the gem is not guaranteed across revisions. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5444: Object.free http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5444 Author: Thomas Sawyer Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 1.9.x I came across this gem today: http://github.com/banister/free Which led me to wonder if it might not be good to have this feature built-in to the core language. While not useful in most cases, it could be very useful to power-users who need to eek out every bit performance they can. -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
