I don't believe that the GC obligations differ. In particular, I don't believe that the spec rules out a no-GC-ever implementation, in which the two would have identical space behavior. That is, in your table on the inherited_explicit_soft_fields page, I don't think that 'must not retain' is ever an obligation we impose on ES implementations. -- sam th [email protected] _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
