wasm-trace causes "heap out of memory" for big logs #3

Open orestisfl opened 4 years ago

Issue is that the trace.write calls like this one: https://github.com/wasm3/wasm-trace/blob/8f1aa89e811e221a83a89a6de806599d8df6f0cd/wasm-trace.js#L283 return false after a while and the whole output gets buffered. Eventually, node runs out of memory.

Node's memory can be increased with --max-old-space-size= but I've encountered situations where any size increase is eventually not enough.

As a solution, wasm-trace can wait for 'drain' events or can use a synchronised API like fs.writeSync.
