Is there something fishy with the garbage collection in 0.6 ?
I'm using 2010/01/26, and the garbage just seems to pile up.
Running the following code will make memory usage go straight through the
roof, until SIGSEGV is received.
def get_digest(file)
digest = Digest::MD5.new()
fil = File.open(file,'r')
while(!fil.eof?)
l = fil.read(READ_BUFFER_SIZE)
break if l.nil?
digest << l
end
fil.close()
digest.hexdigest
end
I've tried various "tricks", such as setting l=nil, l="", etc, but it just
seems to pile up just the same.
I'm running it on a bunch of 0.5-2gb files, and it rarely gets more than
3-4 of them done before crashing.
ruby 1.8.7 performs this task as expected.
I'm not reporting this as a bug until i'm sure it's not "working as intended"
