$262: Create a new host api for invoking garbage collector.
rwaldron opened this issue · comments
In order to properly test WeakRefs, we may need to expose a new API that wraps each host's garbage collection invocation.
| Host | GC | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| ChakraCore | CollectGarbage() |
-CollectGarbage w/ Test or Debug build |
| JavaScriptCore | gc() |
n/a |
| Node | gc() |
--expose-gc |
| V8 | gc() |
--expose-gc |
| SpiderMonkey | gc() |
n/a |
| Engine262 | todo: can we get v8 options forwarded? Maybe a special case, like: --v8-args="--expose-gc" |
? |
| Moddable XS | xs_gc | needs to be added to xst? |
