Support compiling Ruby with jemalloc #143
Description
Activity
Update: libjemalloc is available in current runtimes. You should be able to invoke it using
LD_PRELOAD(see the getting started for jemalloc) today. However, for the Ruby runtime, we have the Ubuntu switch happening at the end of May, at which point a number of things (including the mechanism for prebuilt binaries) will be different. So holding off on further integration until the dust settles.Reacted by Götz and Patrik RagnarssonHi,
Is there any update to using versions of ruby compiled with jemalloc?
As far as I understand, currently for AppEngine, my only option is to dynamically invoke jemalloc by adding an environmental variable like this?
env_variables: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.1Is this the correct path?
Thanks!
The
libjemalloclibrary is being added to the base image in #142To provide full support for jemalloc, we'd need to do the following:
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemallocwhen installing Ruby with rbenvruntime_configentry letting users opt-in to using jemalloc.
