gjs/gjs-Queue-forced-GC.patch
Dominique Leuenberger 3b80c7d038 Accepting request 604654 from home:iznogood:branches:GNOME:Factory
Add patches lined up in the next unstable release aswell.

- Update to version 1.52.3:
  + Include calc.js example from Seed (glgo#gnome/gjs#130).
  + CI: Un-pin the Fedora Docker image (glgo#gnome/gjs#141,
    (glgo#gnome/gjs#131).
  + Reduce overhead of wrapped objects (glgo#gnome/gjs#142,
    (glgo#gnome/gjs#121).
  + Various CI changes (glgo#gnome/gjs#134, (glgo#gnome/gjs#136).
- Add gjs-Add-API-to-force-GC-schedule.patch: context: Add API to
  force GC schedule. There are situations where we cannot run the
  GC right away, but we also cannot ignore the need of running it.
  For those cases, add a new private function that forces GC to
  happen on idle (glgo"GNOME/gjs#140).
- Add gjs-Queue-forced-GC.patch: object: Queue a forced GC when
  toggling down. Since we cannot know how many more wrapped
  GObjects are going be marked for garbage collection after the
  owner is destroyed, always queue a garbage collection when a
  toggle reference goes down (glgo"GNOME/gjs#140).

Subject: [PATCH] object: Queue a forced GC when toggling down
During a GC, the collector asks each object which other
objects that it wants to hold on to so if there's an entire
section of the heap graph that's not connected to anything
else, and not reachable from the root set, then it can be
trashed all at once.
GObjects, however, don't work like that, there's only a
reference count but no notion of who owns the reference so,
a JS object that's proxying a GObject is unconditionally held
alive as long as the GObject has >1 references.
Since we cannot know how many more wrapped GObjects are going
be marked for garbage collection after the owner is destroyed,
always queue a garbage collection when a toggle reference goes
down.
Issue: #140
