I'd like to add a question on this topic. What if I have JSObjects that are already rooted? (Either as global variables, or properties of rooted objects) And I have references to those JSObject* pointers in my backend? Do I need to change those JSObject* pointers to JS::Heap<JSObject*> in that case? I always assumed that would be the case, but does it affect those rooted JSObjects? Are they still the same object? If so, how do I convert Heap<T> back to Rooted<T>? I am a little confused. Do I need to call some kind of GC tracer API on construction/deconstruction of my backend objects? Thanks, James
