I'm incrementally simplifying a lot of related machinery (with the end goal of removing JSContexts altogether), after which point it will be much simpler to put together a sane and predictable exception mechanism. We have plans for this, in another off-list thread. That is to say, I'm working on the big picture, and not particularly inclined to work on specific cases of the current general brokenness in the mean time. bholley _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
