663301 - Race condition with setFirstEnter

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

I just hit the assertion:
JS_ASSERT(!firstEnterValid);

There is a race condition in the setFirstEnter path because we are not yet in the synchronized mode in js_GC.

Ah, okay, I changed it away from a static local variable, which didn't make any synchronization guarantees, so I assumed that the change would be okay. I'll take assignment to familiarize myself with the threading situation.
