When reference updating ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations, we need to check whether the object is valid or not because it does not mark the object so the object may be dead. This can cause a segmentation fault if the object is on a free heap page. For example, the following script crashes: require "objspace" objs = [] ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations do 1_000_000.times do objs << Object.new end end objs = nil # Free pages that the objs were on GC.start # Run compaction and check that it doesn't crash GC.compact
