Timing sensitive environments
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Timing sensitive environments include e.g. games. In these environments
|
|
long blocking times are problematic. Stop-and-go garbage collection is
|
|
also a potential issue.
|
|
|
|
This document describes suggested feature options for reducing Duktape
|
|
latency in timing sensitive environments.
|
|
|
|
Suggested feature options
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
* Use the default memory management settings (reference counting and
|
|
mark-and-sweep) but enable ``DUK_OPT_NO_VOLUNTARY_GC`` to eliminate
|
|
mark-and-sweep pauses. Use explicit GC calls (either ``duk_gc()``
|
|
from C or ``Duktape.gc()`` from Ecmascript) when possible to collect
|
|
circular references.
