           Summary: [V8] Avoid using JavaScript objects as context data
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sgjesse at chromium.org


The V8 API provides the ability to associate a context with a "data" object. If
a context dependent object is used this ha the side effect of keeping the
context alive for some time after the page using the context has been closed.

To avoid this the context "data" object should be a string which is not context
dependent. In the V8 API the type will be changed from Object to String in the
near future.
