[webkit-dev] Changing data structures in webkit

[Abhishek Bichhawat]

Thanks. But, is it not possible at all to modify the JSValue class by adding respective fields in some other classes, to may be keep the size same or have the same fields or something?

JSValue must be 64 bits, no more, no less. This is a hard requirement for all of our execution engines.

It runs fine in some of the cases, but in some other cases an assert fails when it checks if it is an "m_cell" in isString() function of JSString/JSValue. I suspect that it is related to some garbage collection as the website is loading and then it fails. I was wondering if there are some size checks that need to be fulfilled for this to go through fine and GC to run fine.
