It'd certainly take more work, and might start depending on exactly how your VM is structured. Restricting to objects with null prototype and no non-data properties has the slight problem that imagedata doesn't have a null prototype. > > Structured clone currently doesn't support Functions. Good. And if I understand it correctly (*), it does make a shallow copy, ignoring the prototype chain, doesn't it ? (*)http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/common-dom-interfaces.html#internal-structured-cloning-algorithm Simon, what are your feelings about this proposed mechanism to pass-by-reference and make-unreachable ? Do you think it's feasible, too ? -- Jorge.
