Hi all,
I am reading V8 source code in order to get better understanding how V8
maintains object lifetime during GC. Here is a short example that I am
trying to understand.
var s = "hello "
(function(name) {
console.log(s + name)
})("John")
Obviously, the GC won't collect the string "hello " before executing the
function because it is referred from within the function via the "s"
variable. I guess V8 creates a temporary object on the fly that actually
has a property, say "__s", that holds a reference to the "hello " string.
Is that right? I will appreciate if someone points me to the right place in
V8 source code where I can learn the details.
Thanks in advance,
Mihail
