47 silly install resolved readme: 'node-memwatch: Leak Detection and Heap Diffing for Node.JS\n============================================================\n\n\n\nnode-memwatch is here to help you detect and find memory leaks in\nNode.JS code. It provides:\n\n- A leak event, emitted when it appears your code is leaking memory.\n\n- A stats event, emitted occasionally, giving you\n data describing your heap usage and trends over time.\n\n- A HeapDiff class that lets you compare the state of your heap between\n two points in time, telling you what has been allocated, and what\n has been released.\n\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\n- npm install memwatch\n\nor\n\n- git clone git://github.com/lloyd/node-memwatch.git\n\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\nThere are a growing number of tools for debugging and profiling memory\nusage in Node.JS applications, but there is still a need for a\nplatform-independent native module that requires no special\ninstrumentation. This module attempts to satisfy that need.\n\nTo get started, import node-memwatch like so:\n\njavascript\nvar memwatch = require(\'memwatch\');\n\n\n### Leak Detection\n\nYou can then subscribe to leak events. A leak event will be\nemitted when your heap usage has increased for five consecutive\ngarbage collections:\n\njavascript\nmemwatch.on(\'leak\', function(info) { ... });\n\n\nThe info object will look something like:\n\njavascript\n{ start: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:12:13 GMT,\n end: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:12:33 GMT,\n growth: 67984,\n reason: \'heap growth over 5 consecutive GCs (20s) - 11.67 mb/hr\' }\n\n\n\n### Heap Usage\n\nThe best way to evaluate your memory footprint is to look at heap\nusage right aver V8 performs garbage collection. memwatch does\nexactly this - it checks heap usage only after GC to give you a stable\nbaseline of your actual memory usage.\n\nWhen V8 performs a garbage collection (technically, we're talking\nabout a full GC with heap compaction), memwatch will emit a stats\nevent.\n\njavascript\nmemwatch.on(\'stats\', function(stats) { ... });\n\n\nThe stats data will look something like this:\n\njavascript\n{\n "num_full_gc": 17,\n "num_inc_gc": 8,\n "heap_compactions": 8,\n "estimated_base": 2592568,\n "current_base": 2592568,\n "min": 2499912,\n "max": 2592568,\n "usage_trend": 0\n}\n\n\nestimated_base and usage_trend are tracked over time. If usage\ntrend is consistently positive, it indicates that your base heap size\nis continuously growing and you might have a leak.\n\nV8 has its own idea of when it's best to perform a GC, and under a\nheavy load, it may defer this action for some time. To aid in\nspeedier debugging, memwatch provides a gc() method to force V8 to\ndo a full GC and heap compaction.\n\n\n### Heap Diffing\n\nSo far we have seen how memwatch can aid in leak detection. For\nleak isolation, it provides a HeapDiff class that takes two snapshots\nand computes a diff between them. For example:\n\njavascript\n// Take first snapshot\nvar hd = new memwatch.HeapDiff();\n\n// do some things ...\n\n// Take the second snapshot and compute the diff\nvar diff = hd.end();\n\n\nThe contents of diff will look something like:\n\njavascript\n{\n "before": { "nodes": 11625, "size_bytes": 1869904, "size": "1.78 mb" },\n "after": { "nodes": 21435, "size_bytes": 2119136, "size": "2.02 mb" },\n "change": { "size_bytes": 249232, "size": "243.39 kb", "freed_nodes": 197,\n "allocated_nodes": 10007,\n "details": [\n { "what": "String",\n "size_bytes": -2120, "size": "-2.07 kb", "+": 3, "-": 62\n },\n { "what": "Array",\n "size_bytes": 66687, "size": "65.13 kb", "+": 4, "-": 78\n },\n { "what": "LeakingClass",\n "size_bytes": 239952, "size": "234.33 kb", "+": 9998, "-": 0\n }\n ]\n }\n\n\nThe diff shows that during the sample period, the total number of\nallocated String and Array classes decreased, but Leaking Class\ngrew by 9998 allocations. Hmmm.\n\nYou can use HeapDiff in your on(\'stats\') callback; even though it\ntakes a memory snapshot, which triggers a V8 GC, it will not trigger\nthe stats event itself. Because that would be silly.\n\n\nFuture Work\n-----------\n\nPlease see the Issues to share suggestions and contribute!\n\n\nLicense\n-------\n\nhttp://wtfpl.org\n',
