130776 - profile data is lost when script is invalidated

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect, P4)

Description

[Robert Ginda]

Profile data is kept directly the on function objects it's associated with. 
That is, there is an object that represents function |f|, and that object knows
(among many other things) that |f| was called N times, and had an min call time
of X and a max of Y, etc.  When you close the window that defined |f|, the
object is destroyed by the js engine, and the profile data goes with it.  The
workaround is to not close the window that contains the functions you're profiling.

Problem is, that's kinda lame.  We'll need to come up with a plan for dealing
with this, by 1.0.  If that plan involves native changes, it'll need to be
implemented for 1.0 too.

If this can be done in script only, I'll shoot for 1.0.1, otherwise it's going
to have to get Futured.
