> Andrea, I need some context here. What is this patch trying to solve?

The crash happens because the memory flag for the transfered ports is "CUSTOM" (set by writeTransfer).
When the structured clone algorithm fails, it tries to free the transfered object, and for CUSTOM things we must have a freeTransfer callback otherwise we assert.
This patch adds this callback and with that, it frees the transfered ports forcing a close().

What problems? If you're on a worker you a) don't need to do the async get for PBackground, and b) don't need to go to the main thread. This seems like unnecessary work, so I'd like to know what you're working around.

Instead of exposing this class instance why not just have |static bool ForceClose(...);|. That way you don't have to worry about people calling anything other than the one function you want exposed.

Can you assert here that you're in the main process and on the pbackground thread? Would be great to add those same asserts to GetOrCreate also.

So is this true? Or is it only true when called from ForceClose? If so why not just add an extra ref in ForceClose so that you can never accidentally delete yourself?

I don't think the (uint32_t) is necessary here. If it warns then you should also fix the other call in WorkerPrivate.cpp.

Here, "ActorCreated" was missing an 'override' annotation, which causes clang 3.6 & newer to spam a "-Winconsistent-missing-override" build warning, which busts --enable-warnings-as-errors builds (with clang 3.6+).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry for the delay in reviewing, I didn't notice you'd already posted it. But I didn't realize it was going to be this ugly. I mean, I understand why you're doing this, and it's sensible given the current setup. But is the scoped closure necessary here? Is there a case where one of these messages could get created but never dispatched, and thus skip the proper cleanup here?

Sorry, I have to run now but I want to look into this more tomorrow before r+'ing. For example, I want to look to see what the closure is being used for to see if it could be using extraData instead.

Name this AutoCloneBufferCleaner or something like that. I thought RAII must be some static analysis token like MOZ_STACK_CLASS.

Why is this needed? clear() checks if (data_), so it seems like you can do it unconditionally.

buffer.clear() isn't strictly necessary here, and it's a little weird because it doesn't pass in the callbacks. If it weren't a no-op (guaranteed by read() succeeding), then it would crash. So I'd rather it were gone entirely or it received the callback params.

In JS-land, no braces around single-line consequent.
Note that if we do want to go this route, it can at least be made prettier with bug 1180299. (But I'm expecting that will take a while to get reviewed.)
I read through a bunch of the code, and it *seems* like there's no opportunity for things to get lost between MessageEventRunnable::Write's mBuffer.Write() and runnable->Dispatch(aCx), nor between runnable->Dispatch(aCx) and WorkerPrivateParent<Derived>::DispatchMessageEventToMessagePort, so the JSAutoStructuredCloneBuffer seems safe from that closure-less time window. Though the number of layers I had to look through makes me nervous.

So I guess I'm ok with signing off on this approach, though I still wonder if more of this couldn't be stored in the extraData -- instead of just holding an index into mMessagePortIdentifiers, could it store mMessagePortIdentifiers too? Or is that different between the threads?

Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe there does need to be a handoff between sender and receiver where you can swap the callbacks/closure members. (Or better, change it into a subclass of some base class.) I just don't like having a JSAutoStructuredCloneBuffer ever existing without the appropriate callbacks and closure set. There should be some way of making that handoff explicit.

We can change JSAutoStructuredCloneBuffer so that Read/Write/etc are virtual methods. What about this approach? Follow up?
