NodeJS memory consumption in an infinite loop
I don't know if this is a bug with Node or V8, but if I run the following code the node process leaks memory. The GC never seems to kick in and in a few seconds it's consuming >1GB of memory. This is unexpected behavior. Am I missing something? Here's the code: for(;;) { console.log(1+1); } Obviously, this is a little bit of a contrived situation, but I can see an issue with a long-running process that would never free memory. Edit: I tried both with v0.5.10 (unstable) and v0.4.12 (stable) and the unstable version performs a little bit better---the stable version just stops outputting to the
