I have subclassed a transform stream. As part of the constructor function I set up an interval. I need to make sure I clear this interval when the stream is done, so I don't have a memory leak. Where is the best place to do this?
I am considering using the end-of-stream module to detect when the stream instance is finished to trigger the clearTimeout. Is there any edge case I would miss by doing this? var eos = require('end-of-stream'); function SomeTransformStream() { Transform.call(this); var self = this; // on constructor, setup timeout this._timeoutId = setTimeout(function () { self.doSomething(); // some code I need called }); // on end of stream destroy self eos(this, function() { // is this thorough enough? clearTimeout(_self.timeoutId); }); // ... some more stuff } Thanks in advance. -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
