RbtraceExtended

require's rbtrace and optionally requires objspace and calls ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations_start

require 'rbtrace'

if ENV['OBJECTSPACE_TRACE_OBJECT_ALLOCATIONS'] then
  require 'objspace'
  ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations_start
end

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rbtrace_extended'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rbtrace_extended

By requiring this gem it will automatically require rbtrace. You can add an environment variable OBJECTSPACE_TRACE_OBJECT_ALLOCATIONS=1 to also call ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations_start. This will let you get object allocations when performing a heap dump with rbtrace.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
