Re: JS log-dumping an object and circular references problem

Yep.   Its the example filtering code at the bottom using a WeakList that I 
tried - and which did not work due to to the "seen.add(value)" throwing an 
error.

Yes it can ! :-)

Just imagine an array which, as one of its values, contains (a reference to) 
itself.   Or a fork-bomb if that means more to you.   Or even a circular 
list (where does it end ?).


By the way, although I really would like to know why that WeakList doesn't 
work, I replaced it with a simple array to see if it would work.  And even 
that has its own problems (keeping stored objects alive until I (correctly!) 
release the array) it seems to work allright.

Also, I've stil got the first problem (a simple assignment failing).
