Description Andreas Kling 2015-02-05 16:17:08 PST
In the iOS/WebKit1 world, we would synchronously GC upon receiving a memory warning. We should have the same behavior in iOS/WebKit2.

Since this is iOS-specific, it seems like this should be in MemoryPressureHandler::platformReleaseMemory(bool) in MemoryPressureHandlerCocoa.mm, right?

All reviewed patches have been landed.  Closing bug.

I'm worried about cost here in the edge case of pathological pressure. Let's do what you suggested in person -- GC now in response to background, GC soon in response to memory warning.
