Leak Numbers

Current leak numbers?

Status of Pending CC Code in Bugzilla

• Add cycle collection to RDF datasources
• Make XPConnect traverse more JS edges
• Support cycle collection of refcounted non-xpcom objects (aka, the XBL patch)
• Make cycle collection suspect all native wrapper roots
• cycle collector shutdown dump based on known should-have-been-freed objects

Next Steps

• Johnny will add CC timing printfs:
  • Cycle collection graph call times.
  • JS GC times.
• dbaron is going to land a patch related to debugging (bug 372766 above).
• Sicking is going to drive the XML patch in as well as the patch from peterv (adding more content objects).
• jst will continue with xpconnect.
• Graydon will land 368869.

peterv suggestion: We should try to get to a point were we can start and stop without leaking.
