DART_VM_OPTIONS for self-executables not working! about sdk HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks for the heads up @gmpassos. I'm able to reproduce and it looks like there was some oversights in the implementation that wasn't caught by testing. I have a fix up for review here.

Please add documentation for DART_VM_OPTIONS, especially for self-executables. This is not documented anywhere.

There's not any obvious spot to put this on the website since it's relatively niche functionality, but I've added documentation in the SDK that should make this a bit easier to discover: https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/367800

The default max heap size is 30GB:

IMHO, every self-executable in production should define its memory limit, since running any application with a heap limit higher than the available memory is a recipe for disaster. Since the only way to define the max heap size in a self-executable is by using DART_VM_OPTIONS, this shouldn't be treated as a hidden property.
