TSC allocates a lot of memory and crashes with an error

[lexon0011]

I create a really small angular 2 app, where I can demonstrate that the TSC allocate a lot of memory. The command tsc -w crashes after a certain amount of time with the following error message:

FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - process out of memory

You can reproduce it with this repository

• clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/lexon0011/IssueDemonstrator
• install the packages: npm install
• install typings: typings install
• star watching: tsc -w or or start the application: npm run start-dev

I use the version 1.8.10.

Is that a bug or a configuration error (e.g tsconfig.json)?? What goes wrong here?

this looks like the same issue as #7344. updating to a newer RxJS (later than 5.0.0-beta.2) should address the issue.

Thanks, but the problem is, that angular 2 has RxJS beta.2 as dependency

@alexeagle what is the recommendation to get a newer version of RxJS?

[alexeagle]

current angular 2 releases use more recent rxjs (I believe we are on beta.6 now)

thanks @alexeagle!

Thanks.
Today Angular 2 Beta 7 was published. The dependency was changed to RxJS Beta 6. Now TSC also looks better :)
