           Summary: Should support pausing JavaScript execution without
                    hanging the process
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: aroben at apple.com

Currently the only way to pause JavaScript execution is to block the entire
process (which is the approach taken by Drosera). It would be much nicer if we
could pause JavaScript execution without blocking the process. This would, for
example, allow us to build an in-process JavaScript debugger, a la Firebug.
