Our GC engine rearranges these objects * after it reclaims unreachable objects from our object space, so that the * space is compact (improves memory locality). This is called the * "compaction" phase, and works well most of the time... as far as there are * no C extensions. C extensions complicate the scenario because Ruby core * cannot detect any use of the physical address of an object inside of C * functions.
