This will tell the garbage collector the memory is no longer needed. 33 * 34 * As of 2002-08-13, the JS shell runs out of memory no matter what we do, 35 * when trying to sort such large arrays. 36 * 37 * We only want to test that we don't CRASH on the sort. So it will be OK 38 * if we get the JS "out of memory" error. Note this terminates the test 39 * with exit code 3. Therefore we put 40 * 41 * |expectExitCode(3);| 42 * 43 * The only problem will arise if the JS shell ever DOES have enough memory 44 * to do the sort. Then this test will terminate with the normal exit code 0 45 * and fail. 46 * 47 * Right now, I can't see any other way to do this, because "out of memory" 48 * is not a catchable error: it cannot be trapped with try...catch. 49 * 50 * 51 * FURTHER HEADACHE: Rhino can't seem to handle the largest array: it hangs. 52 * So we skip this case in Rhino. Here is correspondence with Igor Bukanov. 53 * He explains that Rhino isn't actually hanging; it's doing the huge sort: 54 * 55 * Philip Schwartau wrote: 56 * 57 * > Hi, 58 * > 59 * > I'm getting a graceful OOM message on trying to sort certain large 60 * > arrays. But if the array is too big, Rhino simply hangs.

Should I file a bug on this? 69 * 70 * Igor Bukanov wrote: 71 * 72 * This is due to different sorting algorithm Rhino uses when sorting 73 * arrays with length > Integer.MAX_VALUE. If length can fit Java int, 74 * Rhino first copies internal spare array to a temporary buffer, and then 75 * sorts it, otherwise it sorts array directly. In case of very spare 76 * arrays, that Array(big_number) generates, it is rather inefficient and 77 * generates OutOfMemory if length fits int. It may be worth in your case 78 * to optimize sorting to take into account array spareness, but then it 79 * would be a good idea to file a bug about ineficient sorting of spare 80 * arrays both in case of Rhino and SpiderMonkey as SM always uses a 81 * temporary buffer. 82 * 83 */ 84 //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 85 var BUGNUMBER = 157652; 86 var summary = "Testing that Array.sort() doesn't crash on very large arrays"; 87 var expect = 'No Crash'; 88 var actual = 'No Crash'; 89 90 printBugNumber(BUGNUMBER); 91 printStatus(summary); 92 93 expectExitCode(0); 94 expectExitCode(5); 95 96 try 97 { 98 var a1=Array(0xFFFFFFFF); 99 a1.sort(); 100 a1 = null; 101 102 var a2 = Array(0x40000000); 103 a2.sort(); 104 a2=null; 105 106 var a3=Array(0x10000000/4); 107 a3.sort(); 108 a3=null; 109 } 110 catch(ex) 111 { 112 // handle changed 1.9 branch behavior. see bug 422348 113 expect = 'InternalError: allocation size overflow'; 114 actual = ex + ''; 115 } 116 117 reportCompare(expect, actual, summary);
