race-as-promised

This module implements Promise.race() in a way that does not leak memory.

Rationale

The V8 Promise implementation does leak memory in many common Promise.race([...]) call cases; see e.g. nodejs/node#17469.

The V8 Promise implementation is likely not going to be fixed.

npm install race-as-promised

const race = require ("race-as-promised");

// Use race([...]) instead of Promise.race([...])

The source code and test core have been made available under The Unlicense by Brian Kim, to whom we owe our gratitude.

An additional issue in the original code has been found and fixed by Dan Bornstein, whose efforts are likewise appreciated.
