Can anyone tell me why the object created with finializer is not garbage
collected during GC.start executed in line 10 please ?

Because exceptions thrown in finalizers are silently ignored:

(note the last rb_protect).

WBR, Peter Zotov.
But 'puts 12345' is executed at the end of the program instead in the
middle of the test.

There are no guarantees - neither about when GC will occur nor about
which objects it will collect. AFAIK Ruby MRI's GC doesn't even
bother to do something until your memory usage goes beyond a
particular point. It's unlikely that you reach that point with your
test.
Kind regards

The GC puts "objects with finalizers" on a queue to be GC'ed later,
because (I guess) it doesn't want to run any ruby code during the middle
of the GC run.
