1648646 - Add capability of searching from roots to shortestPaths() testing function

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript: GC, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Steve Fink [:sfink] [:s:]]

We have an embedder (or two?) who is trying to work out why some objects are being held onto. It seems like it would be useful to be able to ask "why is this alive?" without being required to specify a starting point.
