+ * Date: 16 July 2002
+ * SUMMARY: Testing that Array.sort() doesn't crash on very large arrays
+ * See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157652
+ *
+ * How large can a JavaScript array be?
+ * ECMA-262 Ed.3 Final, Section 15.4.2.2 : new Array(len)
+ *
+ * This states that |len| must be a a uint32_t (unsigned 32-bit integer).
+ * Note the UBound for uint32's is 2^32 -1 = 0xFFFFFFFF = 4,294,967,295.
+ *
+ * Check:
+ * js> var arr = new Array(0xFFFFFFFF)
+ * js> arr.length
+ * 4294967295
+ *
+ * js> var arr = new Array(0x100000000)
+ * RangeError: invalid array length
+ *
+ *
+ * We'll try the largest possible array first, then a couple others.
+ * We're just testing that we don't crash on Array.sort().
+ *
+ * Try to be good about memory by nulling each array variable after it is
+ * used. This will tell the garbage collector the memory is no longer needed.
+ *
+ * As of 2002-08-13, the JS shell runs out of memory no matter what we do,
+ * when trying to sort such large arrays.
+ *
+ * We only want to test that we don't CRASH on the sort. So it will be OK
+ * if we get the JS "out of memory" error. Note this terminates the test
+ * with exit code 3. Therefore we put
+ *
+ * |expectExitCode(3);|
+ *
+ * The only problem will arise if the JS shell ever DOES have enough memory
+ * to do the sort. Then this test will terminate with the normal exit code 0
+ * and fail.
+ *
+ * Right now, I can't see any other way to do this, because "out of memory"
+ * is not a catchable error: it cannot be trapped with try...catch.
+ *
+ *
+ * FURTHER HEADACHE: Rhino can't seem to handle the largest array: it hangs.
+ * So we skip this case in Rhino. Here is correspondence with Igor Bukanov.
+ * He explains that Rhino isn't actually hanging; it's doing the huge sort:

+ *
+ * This is due to different sorting algorithm Rhino uses when sorting
+ * arrays with length > Integer.MAX_VALUE. If length can fit Java int,
+ * Rhino first copies internal spare array to a temporary buffer, and then
+ * sorts it, otherwise it sorts array directly. In case of very spare
+ * arrays, that Array(big_number) generates, it is rather inefficient and
+ * generates OutOfMemory if length fits int. It may be worth in your case
+ * to optimize sorting to take into account array spareness, but then it
+ * would be a good idea to file a bug about ineficient sorting of spare
+ * arrays both in case of Rhino and SpiderMonkey as SM always uses a
+ * temporary buffer.
