New issue 2534 by [email protected]: mega.co.nz large file transfers: GC
never runs due to constant activity
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2534
(Copying bug from Chromium bug tracker:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=175233)
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.57 Safari/537.17
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Upload a multi-GB file to https://mega.co.nz
2.
3.
What is the expected behavior?
The garbage collector should be invoked periodically, and the upload should
complete (as it does with IE10, Safari 6 and Firefox).
What went wrong?
It seems that the GC never runs when there is activity in a tab. In the
case of JS-driven file transfers (FileReader+XMLHttpRequest), this strategy
proves to be fatal, as large ephemeral memory blocks are constantly
allocated and need to be freed quickly.
Eventually, when the tab's memory consumption exceeds 1.2-1.5 GB, it chokes
and crashes.
Did this work before? No
Chrome version: 24.0.1312.57 Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Making window.gc() generally available would be a trivial solution.
