# js
Provides functions for introspecting and configuring the QuickJS runtime engine.
Includes debug info, memory usage, GC controls, code evaluation, etc.
### cycle_hook(callback) <sub>function</sub>
or undefined to remove the callback.
Register or remove a hook function that QuickJS calls once per execution cycle. If the callback
is set, it receives a single argument (an optional object/value describing the cycle). If callback
is undefined, the hook is removed.
**callback**: A function to call each time QuickJS completes a "cycle" (internal VM loop),
**Returns**: None
### dump_shapes() <sub>function</sub>
Use this for internal debugging of object shapes.
**Returns**: A debug string describing the internal shape hierarchy used by QuickJS.
### dump_atoms() <sub>function</sub>
known by QuickJS. Helpful for diagnosing memory usage or potential key collisions.
**Returns**: A debug string listing all currently registered atoms (internal property keys/symbols)
### dump_class() <sub>function</sub>
Shows how many objects of each class exist, useful for advanced memory or performance profiling.
**Returns**: A debug string describing the distribution of JS object classes in the QuickJS runtime.
### dump_objects() <sub>function</sub>
useful for debugging memory leaks or object lifetimes.
**Returns**: A debug string listing certain internal QuickJS objects and their references,
### dump_type_overheads() <sub>function</sub>
Displays memory usage breakdown for different internal object types.
**Returns**: A debug string describing the overheads for various JS object types in QuickJS.
### stack_info() <sub>function</sub>
Internal debugging utility to examine call stack details.
**Returns**: An object or string describing the runtime's current stack usage and capacity.
### calc_mem(value) <sub>function</sub>
Compute the approximate size of a single JS value in memory. This is a best-effort estimate.
**value**: A JavaScript value to analyze.
**Returns**: Approximate memory usage (in bytes) of that single value.
### mem() <sub>function</sub>
including total allocated bytes, object counts, and more.
Retrieve an overview of the runtimes memory usage.
**Returns**: An object containing a comprehensive snapshot of memory usage for the current QuickJS runtime,
### mem_limit(bytes) <sub>function</sub>
Set the upper memory limit for the QuickJS runtime. Exceeding this limit may cause operations to
fail or throw errors.
**bytes**: The maximum memory (in bytes) QuickJS is allowed to use.
**Returns**: None
### gc_threshold(bytes) <sub>function</sub>
Set the threshold (in bytes) for QuickJS to perform an automatic GC pass when memory usage surpasses it.
**bytes**: The threshold (in bytes) at which the engine triggers automatic garbage collection.
**Returns**: None
### max_stacksize(bytes) <sub>function</sub>
Set the maximum stack size for QuickJS. If exceeded, the runtime may throw a stack overflow error.
**bytes**: The maximum allowed stack size (in bytes) for QuickJS.
**Returns**: None
### memstate() <sub>function</sub>
Gives a quick overview of the memory usage, including malloc size and other allocations.
**Returns**: A simpler memory usage object (malloc sizes, etc.) for the QuickJS runtime.
### gc() <sub>function</sub>
Force an immediate, full garbage collection pass, reclaiming unreachable memory.
**Returns**: None
### eval(src, filename) <sub>function</sub>
Execute a string of JavaScript code in the current QuickJS context.
**src**: A string of JavaScript source code to evaluate.
**filename**: (Optional) A string for the filename or label, used in debugging or stack traces.
**Returns**: The result of evaluating the given source code.
