in reply to Slow GC after Scalar::Util::weaken

Alternate workaround: Destroy the strong ref before the weak refs:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Scalar::Util qw(weaken); my $data = [1, 2, 3]; print time, " test 0: main start\n"; &gogogo(); print time, " test 3: main end\n"; sub gogogo { print time, " test 1: func start\n"; my @h; for (1 .. 200000) { my %hash = (data => $data); weaken($hash{data}); push @h, \%hash; } print time, " test 2: func end\n"; undef $data; return; }

The undef can't be the last statement for reasons unclear to me.

    Thanks, ikegami! I would agree with tye that is not normal use-case; I should rework my code.
