bytes(), text(), arrayBuffer(), array() and their sync variants kept a snapshot object for every collected chunk, plus a batch entry and its views array, so they can detect chunks that were resized or detached before the result is assembled. For streams of many small chunks this dominated memory use: collecting 1,000,000 one-byte chunks peaked at about 490 MB of heap for 1 MB of data. A non-empty view of a fixed-length, non-shared ArrayBuffer can only change by its buffer being detached, which makes its byteLength 0, so recording its byteLength is enough. Keep a full snapshot only for empty views and views of resizable or shared buffers. The same input now peaks at about 60 MB and is collected about five times faster.

Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎
-
All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via
known_issues.status. ↩︎ -
The tests are for the logic in
lib/internal/main/prof_process.jsandlib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic. ↩︎
