    Description

      A simple testcase (see below for a more complex one with smaller arrays and smaller expected memory consumption):

      import QtQuick 2.0
      
      Item {
      	Component.onCompleted: {
      		var len = 3000000;
      		var foo = new Array(len + 1).join('x');
      		var chars = foo.split('');
      	}
      }
      

      The `len` required to crash is dependent on the platform, e.g.

      • On Android phone (Nexus 5x with Android 8), it's below 600000
      • On my Linux setup, it's below 2100000

      For comparison, Node.js/v8 memory consumption on this test with various lengths:

      • 0 — 9 MiB (baseline)
      • 600000 — 19 MiB
      • 2100000 — 45 MiB

      Allocating a single array is not the only way to reach the segfault, but that was the most simple testcase.

      Here is a more complex one, involving smaller arrays and smaller expected memory consumption:

      var foo, chars, i;
      for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
      	console.log(i)
      	foo = new Array(i * 10000 + 1).join('x');
      	chars = foo.split('');
      }
      

      That also works in an asynchronous way:

      Timer {
      	interval: 10
      	running: true
      	repeat: true
      	property int i: 0
      	onTriggered: {
      		console.log(i)
      		var foo = new Array(i * 10000 + 1).join('x');
      		var chars = foo.split('');
      		i++;
      	}
      }
      

      On my Linux pc, it segfaults at about i~=30 (drifting a bit).
