Make weak references to JavaScript Objects. Fire a callback when they're garbage collected.

node-weak

Make weak references to JavaScript Objects.

On certain rarer occasions, you run into the need to be notified when a JavaScript object is going to be garbage collected. This feature is exposed to V8's C++ API, but not to JavaScript.

That's where node-weak comes in! This module exports V8's Persistent<Object> functionality to JavaScript. This allows you to create weak references, and optionally attach a callback function to any arbitrary JS object. The callback function will be invoked right before the Object is garbage collected (i.e. after there are no more remaining references to the Object in JS-land).

This module can, for example, be used for debugging; to determine whether or not an Object is being garbage collected as it should. Take a look at the example below for commented walkthrough scenario.

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install weak

Example

Here's an example of calling a cleanup() function on a Object before it gets garbage collected:

var weak = require('weak')

// we are going to "monitor" this Object and invoke "cleanup"
// before the object is garbage collected
var obj = {
    a: true
  , foo: 'bar'
}

// Here's where we set up the weak reference
var ref = weak(obj, function () {
  // `this` inside the callback is the EventEmitter.
  console.log('"obj" has been garbage collected!')
})

// While `obj` is alive, `ref` proxies everything to it, so:
ref.a   === obj.a
ref.foo === obj.foo

// Clear out any references to the object, so that it will be GC'd at some point...
obj = null

//
//// Time passes, and the garbage collector is run
//

// `callback()` above is called, and `ref` now acts like an empty object.
typeof ref.foo === 'undefined'

Weak Callback Function "Best Practices"

It's important to be careful when using the "callbacks" feature of node-weak, otherwise you can end up in a situation where the watched object will never be garbage collected.

You should not define the callback function in the same scope as the object that is being watched. It's often best to define the callback function at the highest scope possible (top-level being the best). Named functions work really well for this:

var http = require('http')
  , weak = require('weak')

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  weak(req, gcReq)
  weak(res, gcRes)
  res.end('Hello World\n')
}).listen(3000)

function gcReq () {
  console.log('GC\'d `req` object')
}

function gcRes () {
  console.log('GC\'d `res` object')
}

API

Weakref weak(Object obj [, Function callback])

The main exports is the function that creates the weak reference. The first argument is the Object that should be monitored. The Object can be a regular Object, an Array, a Function, a RegExp, or any of the primitive types or constructor function created with new.

Optionally, you can set a callback function to be invoked before the object is garbage collected.

Object weak.get(Weakref ref)

get() returns the actual reference to the Object that this weak reference was created with. If this is called with a dead reference, undefined is returned.

Boolean weak.isDead(Weakref ref)

Checks to see if ref is a dead reference. Returns true if the original Object has already been GC'd, false otherwise.

Boolean weak.isWeakRef(Object obj)

Checks to see if obj is "weak reference" instance. Returns true if the passed in object is a "weak reference", false otherwise.

EventEmitter weak.addCallback(Weakref ref, Function callback)

Adds callback to the Array of callback functions that will be invoked before the Object gets garbage collected. The callbacks get executed in the order that they are added.

EventEmitter weak.removeCallback(Weakref ref, Function callback)

Removes callback from the Array of callback functions that will be invoked before the Object gets garbage collected.

EventEmitter weak.removeCallbacks(Weakref ref)

Empties the Array of callback functions that will be invoked before the Object gets garbage collected.

Array weak.callbacks(Weakref ref)

Returns an Array that ref iterates through to invoke the GC callbacks. This utilizes node's EventEmitter#listeners() function and therefore returns a copy in node 0.10 and newer.

node-weak's Issues

Provide pre-compiled binaries

I know this is controversial, but can we get pre-compiled binaries?

node-weak is the only dependency in my app (out of a few hundred) that requires my Windows developers to install the Visual Studio toolchain (a process that can kill a whole day wrangling C++ redistributals). It also means I have to pre-build before I ship to Windows clients.

Install fails

Any idea why?

weak.callbacks uses EventEmitter.listeners which returns array.slice

The documentation for weak.callbacks says:

The array can be push()ed or unshift()ed onto, to have more control over the execution order of the callbacks.

But looking at EventEmitter.prototype.listeners it seems that listeners returns a slice of the actual events array so we can't use the result of callbacks to re-order or delete callbacks.

npm install fails with io.js

tried doing a nan bump, but that didn't seem to fix...

nodejs/node#456

Is it possible to add resurrection to this module?

Ideally, this module's references would act something like long-weak references in c#. It would be nice to be able to be able to inspect the variable before its garbage collected, so you can print things that are inside it before it dies. I suspect this isn't possible, for the same reason the readme warns against defining the callback in the same scope as the reference, but maybe?

Do you have any clue what's going wrong?

docs wrong: arguments to GC callback function

The API docs for the main entry point, weak, say

Weakref weak(Object obj [, Function callback])
The main exports is the function that creates the weak reference. The first argument is the Object that should be monitored. The Object can be a regular Object, an Array, a Function, a RegExp, or any of the primitive types or constructor function created with new. Optionally, you can set a callback function to be invoked before the object is garbage collected.

but don't document the arguments the callback function is invoked with (this would be a nice place to document them).

The only place I see these arguments documented is in the example

// Here's where we set up the weak reference
var ref = weak(obj, function () {
  // `this` inside the callback is the 'obj'. DO NOT store any new references
  // to the object, and DO NOT use the object in any async functions.
  cleanup(this)
})

which is no longer correct (in v0.3.1, and I presume since 7784f3f); now this is the EventEmitter, and the obj is passed as the first argument to the callback.

assert triggered in v8 debug build when using node-weak module

I see an assertion triggered when running debug version of v8 and trying to get a property
on the weak-reference object via WeakNamedPropertyGetter or WeakIndexedPropertyGetter. I don't have my logs handy but I believe the assertion
was due to failure of:
ASSERT(reinterpret_cast

(*location_) != kHandleZapValue);

Looking at the code, it appears that in these cases, we are failing to return the values through scope.Close().

is the Error that i am get when try to install weak.

provide a way to test if a reference is weak

Is there a way to test if an object represents a weak reference?

If not, please consider adding one, such as 'Weak.isWeakRef(Object obj)'.

We found it terribly useful when debugging our code where we passed a strong reference when we thought a weak one was passed. It would also be useful for assertions.

As a work-around, we used Weak.isDead which throws a TypeError if what's passed is not a weak ref.

MakeCallback assert-fails in node 0.12

I'm running some preliminary experiments using the weak extension under Node 0.12 (there's no such release yet, but there is a code branch you can build and run, which results in a Node binary claiming to be v0.11.14-pre).

This mostly seems to work fine but I've seen a few sporadic Node process crashes which gdb tells me are at

The assert in the Node codebase has a comment:

  // If you hit this assertion, you forgot to enter the v8::Context first.
  assert(env->context() == env->isolate()->GetCurrentContext());

I'm guessing that's exactly the problem, but I don't know if it's weak's job or nan's job to do that.

Consider using nan for compat with 0.11, 0.10 & 0.8

String.prototype.valueOf is not generic

If you're making weak references to String objects then it can no longer behave like a string:

var string = weak(new String('test'));
string == 'test'; //throws String.prototype.valueOf is not generic

Is this a known limitation?

Tests fail with 'cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied'

After cloning and npm install I try to do the test but I get the following error:

/home/sander/Development/node-weak/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:79
        throw e
              ^
Error: /home/sander/Development/node-weak/build/Release/weakref.node: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

Don't know what is wrong here, it works on other Linux Systems... Do you know what I do wrong ??
BTW full transcript below + version printouts.

Thanks!!

weak module install fails on windows 7

Hi I am trying to install node weak module on windows 7
I have setup all the files required for node-gyp from the link below
https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp

I have nodeJS 64 bit v0.10.0. When I try to install weak module I get the below error

weakref.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport)
class v8::Handle<class v8::Value> __cdecl node::MakeCallback(class v8::Handle<c

D:\node_modules\weak\build\Release\weakref.node : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unreso

After updating to node v0.10.24 I m now getting the below error

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'kernel32.lib' [D:\node_modu
les\weak\build\weakref.vcxproj]

I'm not sure what is the issue. Can anyone look into this please:

Failed to install on ARM platform

Hi,

I got gyp_main.py: error: no such option: --no-parallel while attempting to install on a ARM platform. It's a beaglebone black. However, it works on another ARM platform (ts-4800)

Node version v0.10.33, compiled on the platform itself without snapshot since it's buggy on ARM.

I tried to match npm version to [email protected] and [email protected] like the working platform.

I used npm explore npm -g -- npm install [email protected] to change npm's internal node-gyp.

Any ideas?

Thanks

error: could not configure a cxx compiler! [solved placed in error]

I am getting upon install, I use ubuntu 104 lts for dev, I am getting this on install, the exact error message is.
[email protected] preinstall: node-waf clean || (exit 0); node-waf configure build
npm ERR! sh "-c" "node-waf clean || (exit 0); node-waf configure build" failed with 1

gcc is installed, I am unclear what is not finding, any help would be great.

thanks in advance.

Question: what is cleanup for?

In the readme, the example has a cleanup function called before the object is garbage collected. But I'm wondering, if the object is going to be garbage collected, why do you need to delete its properties?

node-weak causes JS code preemption due to MakeCallback

(Pre-disclaimer, apologies if anything I say here is incorrect or overly alarmist. I think this is a real problem but I don't pretend to understand everything that's going on here, especially the Node and V8 codebase I'm not very familiar with.)

I've seen some problems in my NodeJS app using node-weak which seemed like they could only be explained by my code getting preempted by other JS code that changed state out from under it. I believe I've eventually traced this to the use of MakeCallback in Node's native code (src/node.cc); when it's called, it calls not only the callback you told it to call but also all registered nextTick callbacks. And node-weak invokes MakeCallback from GC, which basically means, from anywhere.

Here's a demo of the problem.

I started a thread about this on the NodeJS mailing list, too.

To the best of my evolving understanding, either

• MakeCallback should be taught to only invoke process._tickCallback when it was invoked directly from the libuv event loop, not if it was invoked by something like node-weak in a nested execution context
• MakeCallback is a dangerous API to expose to extension code directly, or at least needs to be better documented about when to use it and when to avoid it
• node-weak, when invoking the cleanup callback (and its "global" callback which I don't really understand), should invoke those callbacks directly instead of via MakeCallback

I don't mean to malign node-weak; it's very cool and very useful functionality, but this side effect of preempting code and executing pretty much arbitrary any other code during GC is quite alarming.

Can I 'save' an object from being GC'ed?

Exactly what the title says.

If I store a new reference in the weak callback, can I save it?

If so, the object is the same or is it a copy? I mean, the callback will keep being called every time it is about to die, or I need to renew it?

gc callback not always fired

while hunting a memory leak in a clients application i wrote https://github.com/soldair/weak-tracker. After a lot of chasing my own tail found that many gc events never get fired even though the refs are dead (as tested with weak.isDead)

I spent a little time trying to reproduce it outside of their code base and haven't yet but i wanted to document the problem and my work around so maybe someone with a better understanding of v8 gc can figure it out.

https://github.com/soldair/weak-tracker/blob/master/index.js#L90

this is really important because if this event fails to fire it kinda defeats the purpose of the module.

Error installing on `node-gyp rebuild`

An error occures installing weak on the node-gyp rebuild statement.

installing node-gyp manually with npm install node-gyp does not pose a problem, and installs just fine, thus this leads me to believe it is the way node-weak uses node-gyp that makes the install fail.

node-weak is somehow retaining references to the objects and doesn't let them be gc'd by v8

Please see nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#3097

TL;DR you can test using https://gist.github.com/2369652 and do heap profiling with https://github.com/c4milo/node-webkit-agent

node-weak stops the incremental gc from collecting referenced objects

Objects that were wrapped in a weak() call (even without a callback) are never collected by the incremental gc and are only collected by a full gc run. This changes the behavior of the garbage collector (in regards to the watched object) and delays the time when the watched object is deleted.

1. It's not possible to use node-weak to get notified immediately when the object should have been destroyed originally (when it was destroyed without using node-weak). It's not possible to get any information if the object should have been collected by the incremental or full gc only (to check if the object was collectable by the incremental gc or not).
2. It slows things down a bit, because this makes full gc runs longer and happen more often.

Can something be done with the above or is it impossible due to v8 limitations?

error in conjunction with phantomjs

I am not sure if this is the right repository to post this or if this maybe should better go into the official phantomjs-node repository. I'm getting some wierd errors with 0.11.x which don't happen with stable versions of node.

Do you maybe have a clue why this error happens?

best practices example in readme

HI there, I've been monitoring memory usage with

top -pid `pgrep -n node`

I've found that if the callback function passed as the second argument closes over another variable it's better to use the pattern:

var obj1;
weak(obj2, function x () {
  use(obj1);
  x = null;
});

Than it is to do:

var obj1;
function x () {
  use(obj1);
};
weak(obj2, x);

For my app, the first stabilizes around 722 MB of memory, while the second stabilizes at 1.8 GB. Not sure why/if this is useful.

Support 0.12 and 4.0 in the same version

To ease our transition paths, perhaps we could support for a time?

https://github.com/substack/dnode/pull/172#issuecomment-142454617

A question about weak()'s return value

The documentation says that the return value from weak(o) is an object that proxies all of o's properties and methods, so it seams I should be able to pass that around instead of 'o'. However, it doesn't look like it has o's prototype chain, which means it isn't a fully transparent replacement for o.

Is that true? And if so, is it by design, or is that something that can be fixed/added?

Working with latest version of iojs/nan

I got this project running with iojs 3.1.0 and nan 2.0.7, are you interested in a PR for that?

Commit with changes if you're interested:
EvolveLabs@523ba76

Should have separate enumerator for property names vs. property indices

During initialization of weakref, SetIndexedPropertyHandler() sets the same enumerator i.e. WeakPropertyEnumerator which is also set in SetNamedPropertyHandler(). If we have an code:

var obj = {a : 'a'};
var x = weak(obj);
console.log(x); 

The last line prints 'a' twice -- once each extracted using SetindexedPropertyHandler and SetNamedPropertyHandler using same WeakPropertyEnumerator.
Having a separate enumerator for indexed properties would help in not extracting named properties from object.

Problem installing node-weak on Windows7

I can't seem to load node-weak on Windows7. I've tried Python 2.7, 2.5, 2.3, to no avail. It seems (from the error below), that I need to use a version of Python2, but changing versions doesn't seem to help. Any help is appreciated.

Error: Could not load any possibilities

Hey hey,

I'm trying to deploy a hook.io app to nodejitsu, which in turn uses this module. When we try to deploy my app to the server, I get the following logs:

https://gist.github.com/311859e0c669821cab4f

So, I guess what I'm wondering is, what can cause this to happen and how can we make it go away? :)
