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