After firing timers, we can clean them up by iterating over all active stores and setting the relevant symbols to undefined.

This is still a draft because we will need to extend it to immediates and intervals, too.

Fixes#53408

What about moving this function into async_hooks to avoid the need to expose getActiveStores() there?
An alternative would be to use a single object on the resource which holds all stores. This would reduce the number of properties added on resource objects - and avoid the need of a for loop to clear it.

A helper that receives a resource and clears all the store data off it would be better than exposing the stores list as we do now. As it is presently, one could get and retain access to a store in a way unintentional from the perspective of the store owner, which is a bit dangerous from a memory perspective.

I've updated this PR to address the review feedback:

  1. Instead of exposing getActiveStores(), added a clearStores(resource) helper function in async_hooks that takes a resource and clears all store references from it. This avoids exposing the internal stores list.
  2. Added cleanup for _timerArgs in addition to _onTimeout and async stores.
  3. Extended the cleanup to immediates (setImmediate) and intervals (setInterval) as well.
  4. Updated the test to cover all three cases.

I think this should be tested with and without async-context-frame

And a test via GC would be likely helpful, e.g. somthing like this:

{constasyncLocalStorage=newAsyncLocalStorage();letstore={};lettimeout;constweakStore=newWeakRef(store);asyncLocalStorage.run(store,common.mustCall(()=>{timeout=setTimeout(common.mustNotCall(),common.platformTimeout(1000));assert.strictEqual(weakStore.deref(),store);clearTimeout(timeout);}));store=null;setImmediate(()=>{global.gc();assert.strictEqual(weakStore.deref(),undefined);});}

@mcollina seems you forced push some old commit or a mixture of old and new. At least it looks to me like parts of the recent changes got lost.

I still don't understand why rebase+squash is done again and again in this PR.
I get that a rebase is needed every now and then, in special for that long running PRs.
But I see no need to squash fixup commits at the same time.

What about moving this function into async_hooks to avoid the need to expose getActiveStores() there?
An alternative would be to use a single object on the resource which holds all stores. This would reduce the number of properties added on resource objects - and avoid the need of a for loop to clear it.

A helper that receives a resource and clears all the store data off it would be better than exposing the stores list as we do now. As it is presently, one could get and retain access to a store in a way unintentional from the perspective of the store owner, which is a bit dangerous from a memory perspective.

I've updated this PR to address the review feedback:

  1. Instead of exposing getActiveStores(), added a clearStores(resource) helper function in async_hooks that takes a resource and clears all store references from it. This avoids exposing the internal stores list.
  2. Added cleanup for _timerArgs in addition to _onTimeout and async stores.
  3. Extended the cleanup to immediates (setImmediate) and intervals (setInterval) as well.
  4. Updated the test to cover all three cases.

After firing timers, we can clean them up by iterating over all active stores and setting the relevant symbols to undefined.

This is still a draft because we will need to extend it to immediates and intervals, too.

After firing timers, we can clean them up by iterating over all active stores and setting the relevant symbols to undefined.

This is still a draft because we will need to extend it to immediates and intervals, too.

Fixes#53408

What about moving this function into async_hooks to avoid the need to expose getActiveStores() there?
An alternative would be to use a single object on the resource which holds all stores. This would reduce the number of properties added on resource objects - and avoid the need of a for loop to clear it.

A helper that receives a resource and clears all the store data off it would be better than exposing the stores list as we do now. As it is presently, one could get and retain access to a store in a way unintentional from the perspective of the store owner, which is a bit dangerous from a memory perspective.

I've updated this PR to address the review feedback:

  1. Instead of exposing getActiveStores(), added a clearStores(resource) helper function in async_hooks that takes a resource and clears all store references from it. This avoids exposing the internal stores list.
  2. Added cleanup for _timerArgs in addition to _onTimeout and async stores.
  3. Extended the cleanup to immediates (setImmediate) and intervals (setInterval) as well.
  4. Updated the test to cover all three cases.

I think this should be tested with and without async-context-frame

And a test via GC would be likely helpful, e.g. somthing like this:

{constasyncLocalStorage=newAsyncLocalStorage();letstore={};lettimeout;constweakStore=newWeakRef(store);asyncLocalStorage.run(store,common.mustCall(()=>{timeout=setTimeout(common.mustNotCall(),common.platformTimeout(1000));assert.strictEqual(weakStore.deref(),store);clearTimeout(timeout);}));store=null;setImmediate(()=>{global.gc();assert.strictEqual(weakStore.deref(),undefined);});}

@mcollina seems you forced push some old commit or a mixture of old and new. At least it looks to me like parts of the recent changes got lost.

I still don't understand why rebase+squash is done again and again in this PR.
I get that a rebase is needed every now and then, in special for that long running PRs.
But I see no need to squash fixup commits at the same time.

After firing timers, we can clean them up by iterating over all active stores and setting the relevant symbols to undefined.

This is still a draft because we will need to extend it to immediates and intervals, too.

Fixes#53408

What about moving this function into async_hooks to avoid the need to expose getActiveStores() there?
An alternative would be to use a single object on the resource which holds all stores. This would reduce the number of properties added on resource objects - and avoid the need of a for loop to clear it.

A helper that receives a resource and clears all the store data off it would be better than exposing the stores list as we do now. As it is presently, one could get and retain access to a store in a way unintentional from the perspective of the store owner, which is a bit dangerous from a memory perspective.

I've updated this PR to address the review feedback:

  1. Instead of exposing getActiveStores(), added a clearStores(resource) helper function in async_hooks that takes a resource and clears all store references from it. This avoids exposing the internal stores list.
  2. Added cleanup for _timerArgs in addition to _onTimeout and async stores.
  3. Extended the cleanup to immediates (setImmediate) and intervals (setInterval) as well.
  4. Updated the test to cover all three cases.
