TwP / heap_hop

Ruby heap parser and analyzer

What is this?

A tool for analyzing and inspecting Ruby heap dump files. Aman Gupta has written about dumping heaps from the ObjectSpace module. Richard Schneeman has a great writeup in two parts covering what's inside a heap dump:

• Part I
• Part II

Is it any good?

Yes.

How do I run it?

FIXME
