Overview
The objspace library extends the ObjectSpace
module and adds several methods to get internal statistic information about object/memory management.
You need to require 'objspace'
to use this extension module.
Generally, you *SHOULD NOT* use this library if you do not know about the MRI implementation. Mainly, this library is for (memory) profiler developers and MRI developers who need to know about MRI memory usage.

.count_imemo_objects([result_hash]) ⇒ Hash
(mod_func)
Counts objects for each T_IMEMO

.count_objects_size([result_hash]) ⇒ Hash
(mod_func)

It returns a hash as:
{:TOTAL=>1461154, :T_CLASS=>158280, :T_MODULE=>20672, :T_STRING=>527249, ...}

On this version of MRI, they have 3 types of Symbols (and 1 total counts).

The contents of the returned hash is implementation specific and may change in the future.
In this version, keys are Class object or Symbol object.
If object is kind of normal (accessible) object, the key is Class object. If object is not a kind of normal (internal) object, the key is symbol name, registered by rb_data_type_struct.
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby.

Dump the contents of the ruby heap as JSON.
since must be a non-negative integer or nil
.
If since is a positive integer, only objects of that generation and newer generations are dumped. The current generation can be accessed using GC.count
.
Objects that were allocated without object allocation tracing enabled are ignored. See .trace_object_allocations for more information and examples.
If since is omitted or is nil
, all objects are dumped.
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby. This is an experimental method and is subject to change. In particular, the function signature and output format are not guaranteed to be compatible in future versions of ruby.

.internal_class_of(obj) ⇒ Class
, Module
(mod_func)
- MRI specific feature
-
Return internal class of obj.
obj can be an instance of ::ObjectSpace::InternalObjectWrapper
.
Note that you should not use this method in your application.
# File 'ext/objspace/objspace.c', line 897
static VALUE objspace_internal_class_of(VALUE self, VALUE obj) { VALUE klass; if (rb_typeddata_is_kind_of(obj, &iow_data_type)) { obj = (VALUE)DATA_PTR(obj); } if (RB_TYPE_P(obj, T_IMEMO)) { return Qnil; } else { klass = CLASS_OF(obj); return wrap_klass_iow(klass); } }
.internal_super_of(cls) ⇒ Class
, Module
(mod_func)
- MRI specific feature
-
Return internal super class of cls (Class or Module).
obj can be an instance of ::ObjectSpace::InternalObjectWrapper
.
Note that you should not use this method in your application.
# File 'ext/objspace/objspace.c', line 924
static VALUE objspace_internal_super_of(VALUE self, VALUE obj) { VALUE super; if (rb_typeddata_is_kind_of(obj, &iow_data_type)) { obj = (VALUE)DATA_PTR(obj); } switch (OBJ_BUILTIN_TYPE(obj)) { case T_MODULE: case T_CLASS: case T_ICLASS: super = RCLASS_SUPER(obj); break; default: rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "class or module is expected"); } return wrap_klass_iow(super); }
.memsize_of(obj) ⇒ Integer
(mod_func)
Return consuming memory size of obj in bytes.
Note that the return size is incomplete. You need to deal with this information as only a HINT. Especially, the size of T_DATA
may not be correct.
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby.
From Ruby 2.2, memsize_of(obj) returns a memory size includes sizeof(RVALUE).
# File 'ext/objspace/objspace.c', line 48
static VALUE memsize_of_m(VALUE self, VALUE obj) { return SIZET2NUM(rb_obj_memsize_of(obj)); }
.memsize_of_all([klass]) ⇒ Integer
(mod_func)
Return consuming memory size of all living objects in bytes.
If klass
(should be Class object) is given, return the total memory size of instances of the given class.
Note that the returned size is incomplete. You need to deal with this information as only a HINT. Especially, the size of T_DATA
may not be correct.
Note that this method does NOT return total malloc’ed memory size.
This method can be defined by the following Ruby code:
def memsize_of_all klass = false
total = 0
ObjectSpace.each_object{|e|
total += ObjectSpace.memsize_of(e) if klass == false || e.kind_of?(klass)
}
total
end
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby.
# File 'ext/objspace/objspace.c', line 144
static VALUE memsize_of_all_m(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) { struct total_data data = {0, 0}; if (argc > 0) { rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &data.klass); } each_object_with_flags(total_i, &data); return SIZET2NUM(data.total); }
.reachable_objects_from(obj) ⇒ Array
? (mod_func)
- MRI specific feature
-
Return all reachable objects from ‘obj’.
This method returns all reachable objects from ‘obj’.
If ‘obj’ has two or more references to the same object ‘x’, then returned array only includes one ‘x’ object.
If ‘obj’ is a non-markable (non-heap management) object such as true, false, nil, symbols and Fixnums (and Flonum) then it simply returns nil.
If ‘obj’ has references to an internal object, then it returns instances of ::ObjectSpace::InternalObjectWrapper
class. This object contains a reference to an internal object and you can check the type of internal object with ‘type’ method.
If ‘obj’ is instance of ::ObjectSpace::InternalObjectWrapper
class, then this method returns all reachable object from an internal object, which is pointed by ‘obj’.
With this method, you can find memory leaks.
This method is only expected to work except with C Ruby.
Example:
ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(['a', 'b', 'c'])
#=> [Array, 'a', 'b', 'c']
ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(['a', 'a', 'a'])
#=> [Array, 'a', 'a', 'a'] # all 'a' strings have different object id
ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from([v = 'a', v, v])
#=> [Array, 'a']
ObjectSpace.reachable_objects_from(1)
#=> nil # 1 is not markable (heap managed) object
# File 'ext/objspace/objspace.c', line 785
static VALUE reachable_objects_from(VALUE self, VALUE obj) { if (rb_objspace_markable_object_p(obj)) { struct rof_data data; if (rb_typeddata_is_kind_of(obj, &iow_data_type)) { obj = (VALUE)DATA_PTR(obj); } data.refs = rb_ident_hash_new(); data.internals = rb_ary_new(); rb_objspace_reachable_objects_from(obj, reachable_object_from_i, &data); return rb_funcall(data.refs, rb_intern("values"), 0); } else { return Qnil; } }
.reachable_objects_from_root ⇒ Hash
(mod_func)
- MRI specific feature
-
Return all reachable objects from root.
# File 'ext/objspace/objspace.c', line 860
static VALUE reachable_objects_from_root(VALUE self) { struct rofr_data data; VALUE hash = data.categories = rb_ident_hash_new(); data.last_category = 0; rb_objspace_reachable_objects_from_root(reachable_object_from_root_i, &data); rb_hash_foreach(hash, collect_values_of_values, hash); return hash; }
.trace_object_allocations (mod_func)
Starts tracing object allocations from the ObjectSpace
extension module.
For example:
require 'objspace'
class C
include ObjectSpace
def foo
trace_object_allocations do
obj = Object.new
p "#{allocation_sourcefile(obj)}:#{allocation_sourceline(obj)}"
end
end
end
C.new.foo #=> "objtrace.rb:8"
This example has included the ObjectSpace
module to make it easier to read, but you can also use the .trace_object_allocations
notation (recommended).
Note that this feature introduces a huge performance decrease and huge memory consumption.
# File 'ext/objspace/object_tracing.c', line 355
static VALUE trace_object_allocations(VALUE self) { trace_object_allocations_start(self); return rb_ensure(rb_yield, Qnil, trace_object_allocations_stop, self); }
.trace_object_allocations_clear (mod_func)

# File 'ext/objspace/object_tracing.c', line 311
static VALUE trace_object_allocations_clear(VALUE self) { struct traceobj_arg *arg = get_traceobj_arg(); /* clear tables */ st_foreach(arg->object_table, free_values_i, 0); st_clear(arg->object_table); st_foreach(arg->str_table, free_keys_i, 0); st_clear(arg->str_table); /* do not touch TracePoints */ return Qnil; }

.trace_object_allocations_stop (mod_func)
Stop tracing object allocations.
Note that if .trace_object_allocations_start is called n-times, then tracing will stop after calling .trace_object_allocations_stop
n-times.
