Comment #6 on issue 1928 by [email protected]: Large array OOM crash http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1928
Answering a question about GC: ByteArray memory is malloced and managed outside of V8 heap. There is not transparent connection between malloced heap and V8 heap, so malloc does not try to do GC in the JavaScript heap when malloc fails. It is embedder's responsibility.
