SYNOPSIS
a simple memory leak detector for ruby with preconfigured rails
hooks.
INSTALL
gem install dike

DESCRIPTION
the concept behind dike.rb is simple: class Object is extended in
order that
the location of each object's creation is tracked. a summarizer
command is
given to walk ObjectSpace using each object's class and the location
if it's
creation to detect memory leaks. not all leaks can be detected and
some that
are may not really be leaks, but dike provided a simple way to see
the
hotspots in your code that may potentially be leaking.
