'''GC roots''' will be per-compartment. This means <code>JS_AddGCRootRT</code> will add a root to the default compartment. This behavior is a bit unexpected. To help embeddings get this right, GC should assert that each gc thing pointed to by a root is in the expected compartment. | '''GC roots''' will be per-compartment.

''' | '''API functions related to the GC heap.''' Several API functions do something that involves the GC heap: <code>JS_GC</code> and friends; <code>JS_SetGCCallback</code>; <code>JS_SetGCParameter</code>; <code>JS_TraceChildren</code> and friends; <code>JS_DumpHeap</code>; <code>JS_SetGCZeal</code>. These will need to have a mode for collecting/walking the entire heap and a separate mode where they apply to just one compartment. TBD. | ||
'''Wrapper API.''' Since the cross-compartment reference from a wrapper to the wrappee is so special, we will need API for it. TBD. | '''Wrapper API.''' Since the cross-compartment reference from a wrapper to the wrappee is so special, we will need API for it. TBD. | ||
