Description Mark Hahnenberg 2013-08-20 12:54:38 PDT
When we flatten an object in dictionary mode, we compact its properties. If the object had out-of-line storage in the form of a Butterfly prior to this compaction, and after compaction its properties fit inline, the object's Structure "forgets" that the object has a non-zero Butterfly pointer. During GC, we check the Butterfly and reportLiveBytes with bytes = 0, which causes all sorts of badness in CopiedSpace.

When we flatten a dictionary, if the properties fit inline we should clear the Butterfly pointer so that the GC doesn't get confused later.

All reviewed patches have been landed.  Closing bug.
Comment 5 Geoffrey Garen 2013-08-20 16:55:25 PDT
Having both of these is kind of odd:

    void setButterfly(VM&, Butterfly*, Structure*);
    void setStructure(VM&, Structure*, Butterfly* = 0);

Can we switch to just "setStructureAndButterfly"?
