Ruby Leaky Gems Database

The RubyMem Database is a community effort to compile all known memory leaks that are relevant to Ruby gems.

You can check your own Gemfile.locks against this database by using bundler-leak.

Support Our RubyMem Initiative!

This project has been a community effort since the beginning. The more reports we track, the more value we can provide to your future projects!

Directory Structure

The database is a list of directories that match the names of Ruby libraries on rubygems.org. Within each directory are one or more files for the Ruby library. These files can be named however you want, in this example it is named after the PR number in github.
