JS::SourceBufferHolder

Constructor

enum Ownership {
  NoOwnership,
  GiveOwnership
};
JS::SourceBufferHolder(const char16_t *data, size_t dataLength,
                       Ownership ownership);

Description

JS::SourceBufferHolder is the container class for passing in script source buffers to the JS engine. This not only groups the buffer and length values, it also provides a way to optionally pass ownership of the buffer to the JS engine without copying. Rules for use:

1. The data array must be allocated with js_malloc or js_realloc if ownership is being granted to the SourceBufferHolder.
2. If ownership is not given to the SourceBufferHolder, then the memory must be kept alive until the JS compilation is complete.
3. Any code calling SourceBufferHolder::take() must guarantee to keep the memory alive until JS compilation completes. Normally only the JS engine should be calling take().

Example

size_t length = 512;
char16_t* chars = static_cast<char16_t*>(js_malloc(sizeof(char16_t) * length));
JS::SourceBufferHolder srcBuf(chars, length, JS::SourceBufferHolder::GiveOwnership);
JS::Compile(cx, obj, options, srcBuf);
