Hello everyone,
I have a huge problem with memory in Ruby 2.2.1. Namely, after forking a
process, it seems that the copy-on-write functionality is not working at
all and I end up with double the memory I started with. The problem is
described in details under this link :
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10559#change-50245. Attached on the
website is a program that demonstrates the issue.
Since I need to work with huge pieces of data, this memory leakage is a
killer issue :-/
Everything has been tested with latest version of Ruby on a clean
installed
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine.
