Update README.md

As for your final question, definitely ask Sam. I think result looks like a bug.

Thanks @nateberkopec. And yes first mention (allocated vs retained) was related to memory_profiler.

Sorry @SamSaffron to ping you but if you have any idea for the last question. 😉

[SamSaffron]

what is the "last question" ?

[benoittgt]

Hello
Sorry I should have mention the title of the question :
@SamSaffron https://github.com/benoittgt/understand_ruby_memory#why-when-using-a-frozen-string-we-dont-allocate-memory-
Thanks

[SamSaffron]

I think cause it was allocated earlier when the ruby code was parsed. You can confirm this by loading a file and putting the load in a mem profiler block.

Ok Sam will give a try.

I used File.read instead of a string a result seems coherent now :
#8

require 'memory_profiler'

report_1 = MemoryProfiler.report do
  def get_me_directly
    File.read('1.txt')
  end
  100.times { get_me_directly }
end

report_2 = MemoryProfiler.report do
  ST = File.read('2.txt')
  def get_me_with_constant
    ST
  end
  100.times { get_me_with_constant }
end

report_3 = MemoryProfiler.report do
  ST_FREEZE = File.read('3.txt').freeze
  def get_me_with_constant_freeze
    ST_FREEZE
  end
  100.times { get_me_with_constant_freeze }
end

puts ' With get_me_directly '.center(50, '✨')
report_1.pretty_print
