https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18611 --- Comment #6 from Glenn Maynard <glenn@zewt.org> 2012-08-20 16:18:43 UTC --- >From the perspective of scripts, "transferable" has nothing to do with objects being transferred. (The mechanics of that are invisible.) All it means is that the object is able to be neutered when told to, either via postMessage or close(). The underlying optimizations this permits are different for different objects--Blobs to quickly free resources, ArrayBuffers both to free resources and avoid copies--but that's an implementation detail. The visible side-effects are identical. It seems like a clear simplification to have a uniform API for things that look identical to scripts. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
