+ * gc.c: add support to estimate increase of oldspace memory usage.
+ This is another approach to solve an issue discussed at r43530.
+ This feature is diabled as default.
+
+ This feature measures an increment of memory consuption by oldgen
+ objects. It measures memory consumption for each objects when
+ the object is promoted. However, measurement of memory consumption
+ is not accurate now. So that this measurement is `estimation'.
+
+ To implement this feature, move memsize_of() function from
+ ext/objspace/objspace.c and expose rb_obj_memsize_of().
+
+ Some memsize() functions for T_DATA (T_TYPEDDATA) have problem to
+ measure memory size, so that we ignores T_DATA objects now.
+ For example, some functions skip NULL check for pointer.
+
+ The macro RGENGC_ESTIMATE_OLDSPACE enables/disables this feature,
+ and turned off as default.
+
+ We need to compare 3gen GC and this feature carefully.
+ (it is possible to enable both feature)
+ We need a help to compare them.
+
+ * internal.h: expose rb_obj_memsize_of().
+
+ * ext/objspace/objspace.c: use rb_obj_memsize_of() function.
+
+ * cont.c (fiber_memsize): fix to check NULL.
+
+ * variable.c (autoload_memsize): ditto.
+
+ * vm.c (vm_memsize): ditto.

* gc.c (GC_MALLOC_LIMIT_MAX): fix default value 512MB -> 384MB.
