Hi,
I just tried to increase the heap size of v8.
<code>
node --max-old-space-size=4096 script.js
</code>
Every size above about 1900 is ignored.
I am definately on a x86_64 machine. So higher limits should work.
Has this behaviour maybe changed in the past. It is described to be
working here http://blog.caustik.com/2012/04/11/escape-the-1-4gb-v8-heap-limit-in-node-js/
at least.
I tried it with v0.8.4 and v0.8.5. I installed the versions with nvm.
Has anyone the same behaviour?
Kind regards

How do i increase the maximum memory a single node process can use?
I tried under Linux and Mac OSX and i could not increase it with the max-old-space-size.
Every value above 1900 gets ignored. Is this intended behaviour? Or am i doing something
wrong?
Kind regards

No. What makes you think that it's ignored? It seems to work for me.

Are you running 64 bit node? What does `process.arch` return for you?
