Maybe. The GC may include a machine stack scanner to root things referenced on the stack, which can give false positives depending on what integers happen to be hanging out on the stack.
does NOT depend on, whether the object has actually been gc'ed, but whether the object does have "non-weak" references to it.
Determining this basically requires running a full gc, no?
I am not sure, which kinds of garbage collectors the implementations of ECMAScript typically use. If they used a reference counter
They don't. -Boris _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
