This module exposes events and interfaces specific to the version of [V8][]
|
|
|
|
|
built with node.js. These interfaces are subject to change by upstream and are
|
|
|
|
|
therefore not covered under the stability index.

## getHeapStatistics()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns an object with the following properties
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|

|

## setFlagsFromString(string)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set additional V8 command line flags. Use with care; changing settings
|
|
|
|
|
after the VM has started may result in unpredictable behavior, including
|
|
|
|
|
crashes and data loss. Or it may simply do nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The V8 options available for a version of node.js may be determined by running
|
|
|
|
|
`node --v8-options`. An unofficial, community-maintained list of options
|
|
|
|
|
and their effects is available
|
|
|

[here](https://github.com/thlorenz/v8-flags/blob/master/flags-0.11.md).

Usage:

var v8 = require('v8');

v8.setFlagsFromString('--trace_gc');
|
