Is there a good reference for V8 command line arguments when using node.js

Question

I can't seem to find a good reference for the various command line options available with Node.js. I'm specifically interested in those that control V8 memory usage. e.g. --max_new_space_size, --max_old_space_size, etc.

Where can I find out what those mean?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you start node with the argument --v8-options, you'll get a list of all v8 related options for node. Not sure that there is any specific DOC that outlines all these options (though would definitely be nice to have).

Answer 2

2 years and no definitive answer. I used the v8 source as a reference:

github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/src/flags/flag-definitions.h

These should also work in chrome via --js-flags.
