Hi Geoffrey, >From what I understand, HTML5 Web Worker doesn't rely on threaded GC because each worker thread has its own heap. The other place affected by ENABLE_JSC_MULTIPLE_THREADS is JSLock. However it is also said platforms other than MacOS doesn't need to implement JSLock. It seems the only use of ENABLE_JSC_MULTIPLE_THREADS is to use JS API from another thread. Is this correct?
