Ruby is a programming language. Everything is clear here. In the code of this language, you can find the term - ZOMBIE. What does this mean in the context of the ruby code?
ZOMBIE <TAG1> is a term used in the context of memory management to describe an object that has already been marked before destruction, but its finalizer has not yet been executed. This means that the object is already "dead" (that is, its memory can be freed), but it still has some "viability" because the finalizer can perform additional actions before the object is completely destroyed.
Finalizer/Finalizer (Finalizer) is a special method in many programming languages that is called automatically before the object is destroyed by the Garbage Collector. The method is typically used to perform necessary cleanup operations, such as releasing resources that the facility has used throughout its life.
That is, Zombies are an object marked for destruction, but we are still waiting for the finalizer to clear the memory before the final destruction of the object.
