Question regarding reservedMemory var about laravel-console-logger

Thanks for taking the time to explain 👍

Hi, @JayBizzle !

Thanks for your kind words! :)

I'm reserving a bit of memory (while registering shutdown function), to have an ability to execute all required operations while handling "Fatal Error: Allowed Memory Size of ... Bytes Exhausted".

If you take a look on handling method:

laravel-console-logger/src/Exceptions/ExceptionHandler.php

Lines 54 to 71 in 7ae85f6

	public function onShutdown()
	{
	$this->reservedMemory = null;
	$this->timeFinished = microtime(true);
	$executionTime = round($this->timeFinished - $this->timeStarted, 3);
	$this->logger->info("Execution time: {$executionTime} sec.");
	$memoryPeak = format_bytes(memory_get_peak_usage(true));
	$this->logger->info("Memory peak usage: {$memoryPeak}.");
	$this->logger->info('%separator%');
	$handlers = (array) $this->logger->getHandlers();
	foreach ($handlers as $handler) {
	$handler->close();
	}
	}

You'll see, that the first thing I do - is releasing that memory:

$this->reservedMemory = null;

And after that, I'm able to do all stuff, which you can see there below (which requires a bit of memory too).

PS: I've saw that trick at Monolog actually, so hat tips to Monolog :)
