Hi all,
This is a summary of ruby-dev ML in these days.
---- ruby-dev #18407-18457 (2002-09-29 … 2002-10-05) ----
[ruby-dev:18427] shrink memory
Hidetoshi Nagai asked a way to shrink memory occupied by process, since occupied
memory was monotonously increasing despite Tcl/Tk could shrink occupied memory.
Matz answered that there was no portable way in C to return memory to OS. However,
He tried to free a block of the heap, so the process memory will be shrinked in
case that malloc/free will have the facility of returning memory to OS.
