If the following addon:

my-object.h

#include <napi.h>

class MyObject : public Napi::ObjectWrap<MyObject> {
 public:
  static Napi::Object Init(Napi::Env env, Napi::Object exports);
  MyObject(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info);

 private:
  static Napi::FunctionReference constructor;

  void Open(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info);
};

my-object.cc

#include "my-object.h"

class OpenAsyncWorker : public Napi::AsyncWorker {
  public:
    OpenAsyncWorker(Napi::Function& callback)
      : Napi::AsyncWorker(callback) {
    }

    void Execute() {
    }
};

Napi::FunctionReference MyObject::constructor;

Napi::Object MyObject::Init(Napi::Env env, Napi::Object exports) {
  Napi::HandleScope scope(env);

  Napi::Function func = DefineClass(env, "MyObject", {
    InstanceMethod("open", &MyObject::Open)
  });

  constructor = Napi::Persistent(func);
  constructor.SuppressDestruct();

  exports.Set("MyObject", func);
  return exports;
}

MyObject::MyObject(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info)
  : Napi::ObjectWrap<MyObject>(info) {
}

void MyObject::Open(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info) {
  Napi::Function cb = info[0].As<Napi::Function>();
  OpenAsyncWorker* worker = new OpenAsyncWorker(cb);
  worker->Queue();
}

addon.cc

#include <napi.h>
#include "my-object.h"

Napi::Object InitAll(Napi::Env env, Napi::Object exports) {
  return MyObject::Init(env, exports);
}

NODE_API_MODULE(addon, InitAll)

is tested with the following JavaScript:

'use strict';

const addon = require('bindings')('addon.node');
const myObject = new addon.MyObject();
let count = 0;

function open() {
  myObject.open(() => {
    count += 1;
    if (count % 1000000 === 0) {
      console.log(count);
    }
    open();
  });
}

open();

then the memory usage of the node process keeps increasing and increasing and the process ends up crashing after the async open method has been called about 18 million times.

Here's the output of the program:

pi@raspberrypi:~/node-addon-api-leak $ node test/leak.js

    My first guess is that you may just be missing some required cleanup after your async event runs or you create so many objects so quickly that they just don't get to run fast enough and you get a large backlog an eventually run out of memory due to that backlog

    I'm travelling today but will to take a closer look later in the week.

    My first guess is that you may just be missing some required cleanup after your async event runs

    This would be good. Unfortunately I can't see anything that's missing although I've looked at everything many times.

    or you create so many objects so quickly that they just don't get to run fast enough and you get a large backlog an eventually run out of memory due to that backlog

    Only one instance of MyObject is created from JavaScript and it's async open methods is called approx. 18000000 times. This means that approx. 18000000 instances of OpenAsyncWorker will be created. However, each call to the async open method (except the first call) occurs in the completion callback of the previous call to open. If I understand the code in AsyncWorker::OnWorkComplete correctly then it deletes the current instance of OpenAsyncWorker immediately after calling the completion callback. If I'm not mistaken this means that there will never be more than two instances of OpenAsyncWorker at any time.

    I'm travelling today but will to take a closer look later in the week.

    Excellent, no rush.

    I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase here but this issue reminds me a bit of this one. However, I have no idea if the issues are in any way related.

    Some investigation using the existing asyncworker

    const assert = require('assert');

test(require(`./build/${buildType}/binding.node`));
test(require(`./build/${buildType}/binding_noexcept.node`));

function test(binding) {
  binding.asyncworker.doWork(true, function (e) {
    assert.strictEqual(typeof e, 'undefined');
    assert.strictEqual(typeof this, 'object');
    assert.strictEqual(this.data, 'test data');
  }, 'test data');

  binding.asyncworker.doWork(false, function (e) {
    assert.ok(e instanceof Error);
    assert.strictEqual(e.message, 'test error');
    assert.strictEqual(typeof this, 'object');
    assert.strictEqual(this.data, 'test data');
  }, 'test data');

let count = 0;

function open() {
  binding.asyncworker.doWork(true, () => {
    count += 1;
    if (count % 100000 === 0) {
      console.log(count);
    }
    open();
  },'test data');
};

open();
}

    Running under valgrind with 5000 and 1000 interations showed:

    5000
    LEAK SUMMARY:

    So I don't see an obvious leak on the native side.

    The heap does seem to grow but running with
    node --trace-gc --max_old_space_size=128 asyncworker.js
    seems to grow to the max heap size and then continue to run and the virtual and resident sizes stay consistent.

    From this don't think its something on the asyncworker side, so willl need to integrate the use of ObjectWrap to see if we get unbounded memory growth with that.

    using the following to limit the number of loops in the open() function:

    if (count < X) {
       open();

    So I don't see any native memory leak based on number of times open is called.

    @fivdi can you take a look at the code I used above, I think I integrated your example properly but it does not look like there is memory leaking to me.

    I see you are on a raspberry pi which might not have as much memory as I do. Can you try with --max_old_space_size=128 to see if the process still gets terminated?

    It looks like the examples was integrated correctly into asyncworker.cc but it still looks like there is a memory leak to me (see below.)

    I see you are on a raspberry pi which might not have as much memory as I do. Can you try with --max_old_space_size=128 to see if the process still gets terminated?

    Yes, it's a Raspberry Pi 3 with 1GB of RAM. I tried --max_old_space_size=128 with my example from the original post, here's the output:

    leak.js was modified to display count every 1e5 iterations rather than every 1e6 iterations. As can be seen there is fatal error as the JavaScript heap runs out of memory.

    The program was running for several hours before the error occurred. The displaying of count to the console got slower and slower as time went on. Everything looked stable with top.

    @mhdawson When the example you posted above is integrated into asyncworker.cc and asyncworker.js is modified to:

    'use strict';
const buildType = process.config.target_defaults.default_configuration;
const assert = require('assert');

test(require(`./build/${buildType}/binding.node`));
test(require(`./build/${buildType}/binding_noexcept.node`));

function test(binding) {
  binding.asyncworker.doWork(true, function (e) {
    assert.strictEqual(typeof e, 'undefined');
    assert.strictEqual(typeof this, 'object');
    assert.strictEqual(this.data, 'test data');
  }, 'test data');

  binding.asyncworker.doWork(false, function (e) {
    assert.ok(e instanceof Error);
    assert.strictEqual(e.message, 'test error');
    assert.strictEqual(typeof this, 'object');
    assert.strictEqual(this.data, 'test data');
  }, 'test data');

  const myObject = new binding.asyncworker.MyObject();
  let count = 0;

  function open() {
    myObject.open(() => {
      count += 1;
      if (count % 100000 === 0) {

    I found this issue when trying to pinpoint my own memory leak, which I believe is caused by the same problem. While I am fairly new with native add-on things, I'd like to add one observation hoping it is helpful.

    The same symptom can be observed on both my application and @fivdi 's https://github.com/fivdi/node-addon-api-leak repo. So I am using node-addon-api-leak as the example. By running node --inspect test/leak.js and then attaching to it with the chrome dev tools' allocation timeline tool, it can be seen that sometimes when an AsyncWorker instance is constructed(fivdi's test case shows this very consistently), there is an Object(56 bytes in size and retained by GC root) left in the heap. Over time they add up and I believe this also causes my own app's memory leak(I could be wrong of course). See the screenshot attached. With my limited experience, I couldn't figure out where these objects are from. While the AsyncWorker constructor creates a new object as the receiver(if not given), that doesn't seem to be the object in question.

    BTW, all this is on macOS and I haven't tried it on any other os. Node-addon-api version is 1.3.0.

    I ran node-addon-api-leak on my laptop, and it seems to top off at 7.8% memory usage, and it stops printing after 26000000. It continues running at 100%.

    @mhdawson and I backed the JS part of the node-addon-api-leak test with the following native code, lacking an AsyncResource, and it did not leak:

    #include <stdio.h>

#include "uv.h"
#include "node.h"

using namespace v8;

typedef struct {
  uv_work_t uv_work;
  Persistent<Function> perma_cb;
} MyWork;

static void do_work(uv_work_t* work) {}

static void done_work(uv_work_t* work, int status) {
  auto isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();
  HandleScope scope(isolate);
  auto context = isolate->GetCurrentContext();
  node::CallbackScope cb_scope(isolate, Object::New(isolate),
      node::async_context());

  MyWork* my_work = reinterpret_cast<MyWork*>(work);
  Local<Function> js_cb =
      Local<Function>::New(isolate, my_work->perma_cb);
  js_cb->Call(context, context->Global(), 0, nullptr).ToLocalChecked();
  my_work->perma_cb.Reset();
  delete my_work;
}

static void MyObject(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& info) {}

static void MyObject_open(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& info) {
  MyWork *work = new MyWork;
  work->perma_cb.Reset(Isolate::GetCurrent(), info[0].As<Function>());
  uv_loop_t *loop = uv_default_loop();
  if (uv_queue_work(loop,
      reinterpret_cast<uv_work_t*>(work), do_work, done_work)
      != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create work\n");
  }
}

static void Init(Local<Object> exports, Local<Value> module) {
  auto isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();
  auto context = isolate->GetCurrentContext();
  auto js_class = FunctionTemplate::New(isolate, MyObject);
  auto js_method = FunctionTemplate::New(isolate, MyObject_open,
      Local<Value>(), Signature::New(isolate, js_class));
  js_class->PrototypeTemplate()->Set(isolate, "open", js_method);
  exports->Set(isolate->GetCurrentContext(),
    String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "MyObject", NewStringType::kNormal)
        .ToLocalChecked(),
    js_class->GetFunction(context).ToLocalChecked()).FromJust();
}
