	XMLHttpRequestWorker.cpp	XMLHttpRequest in workers XHR in workers is implemented by proxying calls/events/etc between the worker thread and an XMLHttpRequest on the main thread. The glue object here is the Proxy, which lives on both threads. All other objects live on either the main thread (the XMLHttpRequest) or the worker thread (the worker and XHR private objects). The main thread XHR is always operated in async mode, even for sync XHR in workers. Calls made on the worker thread are proxied to the main thread synchronously (meaning the worker thread is blocked until the call returns). Each proxied call spins up a sync queue, which captures any synchronously dispatched events and ensures that they run synchronously on the worker as well. Asynchronously dispatched events are posted to the worker thread to run asynchronously. Some of the XHR state is mirrored on the worker thread to avoid needing a cross-thread call on every property access. The XHR private is stored in the private slot of the XHR JSObject on the worker thread. It is destroyed when that JSObject is GCd. The private roots its JSObject while network activity is in progress. It also adds itself as a feature to the worker to give itself a chance to clean up if the worker goes away during an XHR call. It is important that the rooting and feature registration (collectively called pinning) happens at the proper times. If we pin for too long we can cause memory leaks or even shutdown hangs. If we don't pin for long enough we introduce a GC hazard. The XHR is pinned from the time Send is called to roughly the time loadend is received. There are some complications involved with Abort and XHR reuse. We maintain a counter on the main thread of how many times Send was called on this XHR, and we decrement the counter every time we receive a loadend event. When the counter reaches zero we dispatch a runnable to the worker thread to unpin the XHR. We only decrement the counter if the dispatch was successful, because the worker may no longer be accepting regular runnables. In the event that we reach Proxy::Teardown and there the outstanding Send count is still non-zero, we dispatch a control runnable which is guaranteed to run. NB: Some of this could probably be simplified now that we have the inner/outer channel ids.	73550	0 %
