Test case:
---
var ab = new ArrayBuffer(10);
var dv = new DataView(ab)
detachArrayBuffer(ab);
dv.byteLength; // Or: dv.byteOffset;
---

Expected: Throws TypeError
Actual: No exception thrown

Somehow I never uploaded this patch, but I think there is nothing wrong with it.

Throw on detached ArrayBuffer in DataView getters

Review of attachment 8906269 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing wrong with the patch itself, but I'm wondering about web-compatibility. AFAICS, no other browser is currently throwing a TypeError for detached buffers in the byteLength and byteOffset getters. Do you think it's still okay to let this change ride the trains to release, or is it more safe to restrict it to nightly+beta for a longer time until we're sure it won't break web-sites?

Oh, maybe that's why I never bothered with this. My feeling tells me DataView aren't actually used much and detached array buffers are probably also not that common. Making it Nightly only at least for the 57 cycle sounds like a good idea anyway.
