'while' loop consumes up to 2 GB of RAM

After iterating 30-60 000 times when running the AskScript program (below) node process consumed up to 2GB of RAM.

let a = 1
while(a>0) {
  if ((a/1000):equals(floor(a/1000))) {
    log(a)
  }
  a=a+1
}

@cpelican , good catch. After I submitted this error, mhagmajer reduced the allowed operation limit to just 10 000 operations (which is roughly around 600 iterations of a while loop, if I recall correctly), so no longer is it reproducible but if you changed the limit in https://github.com/xFAANG/askql/blob/master/src/askvm/index.ts#L20 to let’s say 10 000 000, you should be able to reproduce.

Seems like while will only be able to return the final value anyway @czerwinskilukasz1, https://github.com/xFAANG/askql/issues/239
