Legacy demos for node 0.10

Simple tests demonstrating memory impact of certain bits of code

Install first

npm install .

Enjoy

Run each in console:

• Benchmark test - creates 100000 objects with a property.

    node --expose-gc index.js test1
  

• Creates 100000 objects with a property that has weird characters in it. (weird things happen in V8, firefox is ok with that FYI)

    node --expose-gc index.js test2
  

• Demonstrates normal garbage collection after a function finishes execution.

    node --expose-gc index.js test3
  

• Demonstrates normal garbage collection after assigning null to all references.

    node --expose-gc index.js test4
  

• Creates 100000 objects with an ordinary property and then tries to use delete to remove the property from the objects. The horror!

    node --expose-gc index.js test5
  

• Does the same thing as test5, but the functional scope saves us (all the mutilated objects get garbage-collected with their parent array)

    node --expose-gc index.js test6
