Hello:

I've created a new method which receives a function as a parameter, and stores it in a pointer in C using JSValueToObject(). Then, in my C code, when I want to inform JavaScript about an event, I call that function using JSObjectCallAsFunction().

My question is: do I have to do something to ensure that the object never becames invalid because the garbage collector frees it? Let's say that, instead of a function, it's an object's method, instead. In a system with reference counters I just should increment it, but with a garbage collector I have to add a "pointer" inside JavaScript VM, if it has not been done already...

The other question is: what do I have to do, when a page is reloaded, to safely dispose this object and ensure that the JavaScript VM frees it? Again, with reference counters, I just should decrement it, but with the garbage collector I'm not sure how to ensure that any possible reference has been erased.

Thanks.
