title: Disable GC in Node.js
body: <p>Is there a way to disable GC completely (or) scavenger, atleast? Find the discussion here - <a href="https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues/462" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues/462</a> and here - <a href="https://twitter.com/dolftax/status/825742173698142209" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://twitter.com/dolftax/status/825742173698142209</a></p>
  
  <p>I've tried <code>node --nouse_idle_notification --trace_gc --max-old-space-size=1000 --max-semi-space-size=64 --noconcurrent_sweeping example.js</code></p>
  
  <p>Still both Scavenge and Mark-Sweep doesn't stop. Refer the Github issue for more info.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, am I missing something? Is there anything else I could do to let GC not run. FYI, This is for an experimental purposes and do not want alternative solutions without stopping GC.</p>
  
  <p>Node v7.9.0</p>
