@ -13,13 +13,14 @@ This is very tricky and magically mechanism helped by Rust Compiler.
The outline is:
1. SpiderMonkey's GC calls `JSClass.trace` defined in `FooBinding` when marking phase. This JSClass is basis of each wrapper JSObject.
2. `JSClass.trace` calls `Foo::trace()` defined in InhertTypes.rs.
3. `Foo::trace()` calls `Foo::encode()`. This `encode()` method is derived by the annotation of `#[deriving(Encodable)]` for a Rust DOM Element struct.
4. `Foo::encode()` calls `JS<T>::encode()` method of `JS<T>` which is contained to `Foo`’s member. So this is the compiler magic! Rust compiler generates [codes like this](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/blob/db5206c32a879d5058d6a5cdce39c13c763fbdd5/src/libsyntax/ext/deriving/encodable.rs) for all structs annotated `#[deriving(Encodable)]`. This is based on [the assumption](https://github.com/mozilla/servo/blob/54da52fa774ce2ee59fcf811af595bf292169ad8/src/components/script/dom/bindings/trace.rs#L16).
5. `JS<T>::encode()` calls `dom::bindings::trace::trace_reflector()`.
6. `trace_reflector()` fetches the reflector that is reachable from a Rust object, and notifies it to the GC with using JSTracer.
7. This operation continues to the end of the graph.
8. Finally, GC gets whether Rust object lives or not from JSObjects which is hold by Rust object.
2. `JSClass.trace` calls `Foo::trace()` (an implementation of `JSTraceable`).
This is typically derived via a #[jstraceable] annotation
3. For all fields (except those wrapped in `Untraceable`), `Foo::trace()`
calls `trace()` on the field. For example, for fields of type `JS<T>`, `JS<T>::trace()` calls
`trace_reflector()`.
