As I understand it is possible to set a maximum memory usage limit for an application like this:
node --max_old_space_size=500 app.js
Is it possible to get a value of the max_old_space_size
from the code?
UPDATE
With the help of @Grégory NEUT we found out that v8.getHeapStatistics()
contains a field heap_size_limit
which looks like what I am looking for.
However I'm still not sure about it since I didn't find any official documentation (or some piece of code from Node.js) which will approve this theory.
I also don't understand why heap_size_limit
becomes 557842432
bytes ( 557.8
MB) when I set max_old_space_size
to 500
MB
In the Node.js v9.4.0 Documentation you can find the function v8.getHeapStatistics() that gives you the heap size information.
UPDATE 2019 : Node.js v11.x Documentation
LEQADA Example from the comment:
For max_old_space_size=500
heap_size_limit : 557842432
total_available_size : 548898944
For max_old_space_size=900
heap_size_limit : 977272832
total_available_size : 968329344
EDIT : process.memoryUsage() do not give informations about the max size of the heap
In the Node.js v9.4.0 Documentation you can find the function process.memoryUsage() that gives you the heap size information.
