Dear Node community,
I am filing this ticket to make you aware of a memory leak in v8::CpuProfiler introduced in v8 versions used by Node 7.x / 8.x. My company uses v8::CpuProfiler APIs to render periodic samples of the running application and I noticed a continuous RSS size increase with Node.js version 7.x and 8.x. Earlier versions are not affected.
I reported the issue a few weeks back in v8 monorail (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=6623) but it did not receive too much attention so far.
