Hello:
I've created a new method which receives a function as a parameter, and
stores it in a pointer in C using JSValueToObject(). Then, in my C code,
when I want to inform JavaScript about an event, I call that function
using JSObjectCallAsFunction().
My question is: do I have to do something to ensure that the object
never becames invalid because the garbage collector frees it? Let's say
that, instead of a function, it's an object's method, instead. In a
system with reference counters I just should increment it, but with a
garbage collector I have to add a "pointer" inside JavaScript VM, if it
has not been done already...
The other question is: what do I have to do, when a page is reloaded, to
safely dispose this object and ensure that the JavaScript VM frees it?
Again, with reference counters, I just should decrement it, but with the
garbage collector I'm not sure how to ensure that any possible reference
has been erased.
Thanks.
