The logic to re-allocate the double pool looks overly complicated and seems to iloop under certain conditions. It should be greatly simplified. The entire didGC logic is unnecessary. If the pool can't be filled right away, just signal and error and don't fill it complete and don't enter the native code.

Over-paren nit, but maybe the right thing is to cast both sides like so:

            if (uint32(rt->gcNumber - gcNumber) > uint32(1))

and comment briefly about how the condition works even if rt->gcNumber wraps around to 0 (nothing keeps rt->gcNumber from wrapping to gcNumber but that's terribly unlikely).

One blank line here, please.

How about flipping return value convention to match other "Check" functions -- false for fail, true for pass.

The braces should go around the outer if's consequent, for dangling else avoidance and to match prevailing style (any multiline condition, then, or else causes bracing for all branches).

These two paragraphs could be factored into a common helper like the js_CheckIfFlushNeeded this patch removes. You could make it return js_CheckGlobalObjectShape(...) and test here, ignore later. Seems worth it for code sharing and footprint wins.

Angels! ;-)

Good opt perf save here. Any more like it?
