New issue 2073 by [email protected]: Garbage collector sometimes fails on
objects with Object.defineProperty (memleak?)
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2073
When I use `Object.defineProperty` in an Object's constructor, the object
is _sometimes_ never garbage collected.
https://gist.github.com/2364840
This script creates 1,000 objects that emit `close` after 2 seconds. Using
`node-weak` I track how many of them are garbage collected (you can comment
out the `gc()` call and wait if you don't want to `--expose_gc`).
When all objects have emitted `close` there are still some of them in the
memory, not collected by the GC (the count varies between 8 and 15, so it's
not predictable).
This works perfectly on Node 0.4, but fails on 0.6 and 0.7 (I think 0.6 has
the new GC code / V8 >= 3.6, so it may have something to do with it)
