1152608 - On first glance a "not" is missing.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: JavaScript, defect)

Description

[trncfrmcn]

What did you do?
================
1. Turned into Garbage collection (reading, literally). 
2. Got into the topic.
3. Found a "not" not there.

What happened?
==============
Limitation : cycles

This naive algorithm has the limitation that if objects reference one another (and form a cycle), they may be "not needed anymore" and yet not garbage collectable.

What should have happened?
==========================
Limitation : cycles

This naive algorithm has the limitation that if objects reference one another (and form a cycle), they may be not "not needed anymore" and yet not garbage collectable.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
I need assistance in this, as I said. Maybe I overread something. On first glance it looked like so...https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Memory_Management#Limitation_.3A_cycles

And this is the wrong form to report, I guess (had another somewhen), but forgive me for late night not finding it%)P.

I moved the large comment in the code into the main text as it describes the cycle limitation better. Hope this helps :)
