See bug 1452114 and bug 1457475.

If XDR decoding fails with one of the TranscodeResults here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/8837610b6c999451435695e800f38d4acbc0a644/js/src/jsapi.h#6018-6025

Then we report an OOM here (and in the multi-scripts-decode version): https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/08df4e6e11284186d477d7e5b0ae48483ecc979c/js/src/vm/HelperThreads.cpp#1669-1675 (That MOZ_DIAGNOSTIC_ASSERT is a MOZ_ASSERT now, bug 1457475.)

It would be great if we could add a JS shell function to corrupt a cache entry's XDR version number or something, so we could write tests for this.
I can't needinfo nbp so I'll CC + assign.

This code is odd:

Raising errors doesn't do anything particularly useful... I guess when `parseTask->errors` has more than 1 element, we expect all but 0 or 1 of them to be warnings? Hmm.
I don't actually have time to work on this immediately. It's small but not that small. Next release, I hope.
Wontfix for 64. Jason, given that this has had a few wontfixes, should we still be calling it P1? Or should we bring more help in for this issue?

Yeah, this is P3. Backlog.
