Bug ID: 181655
Summary: Replace isFreeListedCell with some machinery to
determine if a cell is dead-but-not-destructed
Product: WebKit
Version: WebKit Nightly Build
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: JavaScriptCore
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: fpizlo at apple.com
Due to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172548, we now have a variety of watchpoints (and any event handler that deregisters during destruction) check if their owner object is still live if they are fired. This protects the case where the owner is dead-but-not-destructed.
This "is live" query requires sometimes dealing with free-listed blocks, since an object might as "am I live" due to some watchpoint while the block that it was allocated out of is still in the free-listed state. That's annoying, since that means walking the free-lists of active blocks.
But notice that a block that is free-listed cannot have any dead-but-not-destructed objects in it. Therefore, we should simplify our solution to bug 172548 to use a HeapCell::isDeadButNotDestructed(), which can automatically return false if the owning block is free-listed.
