Question about the removal of JSRefCountHeader

[andrieshiemstra]

Since #570 JSRefCountHeader is no longer exposed, while i agree that api wise that is a good thing I kinda liked to use to check the ref count in my tests.

Is there another way to see the current refcount of a JSValue?

Not exposed at the moment, no, but refcount errors hit an assert in JS_FreeRuntime in debug builds.

Ok, thanks for the reply!

Forgot to mention, another debug tool is calling JS_SetDumpFlags with 0x4000|0x8000 (object leaks + atom leaks); it's the -D flag to qjs.

edit: grep quickjs.c for DUMP_LEAKS to find all flags.

Thank for the extra info, I'll look into that.

For now I just disabled my ref-count checks when using quickjs-ng and only do it when using the original Bellard version, most test cases are remnants from when I was implementing the early versions of my library and didn't exactly when to dup&free so it shouldn't have to much effect.

Thank for you great efforts with this project!
