ZJIT inlines the GC fastpath so Ruby allocations avoid function calls

ZJIT now integrates the garbage collector’s fast allocation path directly into JIT-generated code. That removes per-allocation function calls and lets common allocations run like a bump-pointer allocator, improving allocation performance.

ZJIT рџ¤ќ GC: Inlining GC Fastpath in ZJIT

Originally appeared on Rails at Scale . It’s been 8 years since the first just-in-time compiler was introduced in Ruby. However, throughout this time, the garbage collector has been a black box to the JIT compilers. This meant that JIT compilers were not able to optimize any object allocations and instead had to perfor

ZJIT can now inline GC allocations

Originally appeared on Ruby Weekly . #​815 — September 3, 2026 Read on the Web Ruby Weekly ZJIT 🤝 GC: Inlining GC Fastpath in ZJIT — JIT compilation first came to CRuby eight years ago, but the garbage collector has remained opaque to CRuby's JITs, with every allocation requiring a function call. Now, ZJIT can

WXL: как создавать объекты в 15 раз быстрее

Обычная системная куча обязана предполагать худшее: что в неё в любой момент постучатся из десятка параллельных потоков. Отсюда неизбежные блокировки, атомарные операции и накладные расходы. Но в GUI-приложениях на WinUI 3 этого сценария просто не бывает — все контролы и элементы разметки создаются и умирают строго в о
