It looks like this names the compartments as

  compartment(inProcessTabChildGlobal?ownedby=http://foobar)

?

We do system principal compartments as

  compartment([System Principal], http://foobar)

so perhaps we should stay in line with that and do something like

  compartment([In-process TabChild], http://foobar)

?  I bet njn has an opinion too.  :)

TabChildGlobal use system principal, so they should have [System Principal]

Comment 3

[Olli Pettay [:smaug]]

and http://... doesn't make sense. TabChildGlobals aren't really in any URL.
Some page may own the element which then owns the TabChildGlobal (in case of in-process).


But I can change the ID to whatever feels the best :)
I rarely use about:memory/compartment so I'm not really familiar with conventions there.

So the current patch gives us

  compartment([System Principal], inProcessTabChildGlobal?ownedby=...)

?

Comment 5

[Olli Pettay [:smaug]]

Yes
[System Principal], inProcessTabChildGlobal?ownedBy=chrome://browser/content/browser.xul [3]

More specific naming of compartments is always good...

What name would these compartments have had before?

How likely is the case where there isn't an "ownedBy" part?

Comment 7

[Olli Pettay [:smaug]]

Before the patch out-of-process tabchildglobals are just
[System Principal]

and in-process tabchildglobals are
[System Principal|, chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
which less-nicely mixes them with other system compartments.
I mean, the top level chrome doc has chrome://browser/content/browser.xul as document uri, and the
same is used for tabchildglobals, so they all are reported to be similar things.

It's a bit ugly but I can't think of anything obviously better.  Go for it.

This change just led to bug 842710 being filed -- another case of "if we measure it, we find problems with it".  Nice work.
