Ok, it makes sense for OOM to treat it as other OOM cases.
If I may ask your opinion about related thing: SharedWorkers potentially
would run cross-process. IPC can stop/stuck for many reasons, taret process
can die in the midflight (killed by the user from TaskManager for example).
I guess in this case Worker.postMessage() could still just return as if
everything is ok, but nothing would happen. Is it the right behavior?
I think it's OK to just drop messages in cases like this.
And if it becomes a problem we might in a future version be able to add
something like a 'messagepostfailed' event that is fired on the sending
port in case a message failed to reach its target for one reason or another.
However before we add any such mechanisms I think we should gain some
implementation experience. It has been raised that even the current spec
might be very hard to implement in a cross-process situation and so we
should be careful to add more complexity.
