36// JSManagedValue represents a "conditionally retained" JSValue.
37// "Conditionally retained" means that as long as either the JSManagedValue
38// JavaScript value is reachable through the JavaScript object graph
39// or the JSManagedValue object is reachable through the external Objective-C
40// object graph as reported to the JSVirtualMachine using
41// addManagedReference:withOwner:, the corresponding JavaScript value will
42// be retained. However, if neither of these conditions are true, the
43// corresponding JSValue will be released and set to nil.
44//
45// The primary use case for JSManagedValue is for safely referencing JSValues
46// from the Objective-C heap. It is incorrect to store a JSValue into an
47// Objective-C heap object, as this can very easily create a reference cycle,
48// keeping the entire JSContext alive.
