This patch adds a new intrinsic: %DebugTrackRetainingPath(object).
Calling the intrinsic in JS code saves a weak reference to the given
object in GC internal table of tracked objects.
Each subsequent full GC prints to stdout the retaining path for each
tracked object (if it is still alive). The retaining path is the real
path that the marker took from the root set to the tracked object.
This is useful for investigating of memory leaks:
1) Add %DebugTrackRetainingPath(leaking_object) in JS code.
For example:
function foo() {
let x = { bar: "bar"};
%DebugTrackRetainingPath(x);
return () => { return x; }
}
let closure = foo();
gc();
2) Run d8 with --allow-natives-syntax --track-retaining-path --expose-gc.
3) Check the retaining path in stdout.
For more detailed inspection, run d8 in gdb and set breakpoint in
v8: :internal::Heap::PrintRetainingPath.
