We have a plethora of compilation scopes, generally one per XULPrototypeDocument and one per XBL document. No code ever runs in these scopes, so I don't know of any reason why we can't just have one compilation scope (with a null principal) that hangs off of XPConnect.

This might save a sizable chunk of memory.

Until my patches in bug 990290, XBL compilation scopes would sometimes define things on their global. My patches there fix that. Setting the dep.

On a simple test run (opening google.com, mozilla.com, and about:memory), this reduces the number of compartments from 259 to 225, a 13% reduction. Each of these globals was also cycle-collected, so this probably reduces our CC overhead as well. It also removes ~500 lines of very non-trivial code.

Woo! Do it again, do it again :)
Can we go to 1/20 of a compilation scope?  ;)
The principal of a script is determined by the compartment these days, so this
field is useless.

Add a comment that if someone wants to re-use the '1' value, they'll have to bump the XDR version number?

Bobby believes we could get memory wins on b2g also, so I'll test on tarako.

Green modulo rooting hazards and rebasing. Trying again:

ni? Fabrice, wonder if you have further information after testing this out? thanks

Bobby, rebasing on 1.3t has a lot of conflicts. Can you do it properly?
Flags: needinfo?(fabrice) → needinfo?(bobbyholley)
Last we discussed this, you were going to test if it has a noticeable affect on a trunk b2g build, and then we'd decide whether to backport. Did you get any results there?

Flags: needinfo?(bobbyholley)
I tested on trunk with/without these patches, this gives us 160kB reduction of memory usage in the parent process. Bobby, can you rebase?

I generated these on a linux VM where I could build tarako.

It was a 2-hour backport, so I hope it does the trick. Can you give it a test on a tarako device and let me know how it looks? Measure js-main-runtime-compartments  to check what the reduction in compartments is.
Attachment #8410711 - Flags: feedback?(fabrice)
The last patch set was busted by a single assertion, due to bug 980180 not being on the tarako branch. I've fixed it, and the patches now pass desktop mochitests.

We end up with a reduction of two compartments in the parent process, no changes in the content process.

Looks like this causes mochitest to leak.  See bug 1018544.

To clarify, the backport to 1.3T causes mochitest to leak on linux desktop, which isn't known to be a supported configuration. Still worth investigating though.
