+
+ // To make it safe to use JavaScript on multiple threads, it is
+ // important to lock before doing anything that allocates a
+ // JavaScript data structure or that interacts with shared state
+ // such as the protect count hash table. The simplest way to lock
+ // is to create a local JSLock object in the scope where the lock
+ // must be held. The lock is recursive so nesting is ok. The JSLock
+ // object also acts as a convenience short-hand for running important
+ // initialization routines.
+
+ // To avoid deadlock, sometimes it is necessary to temporarily
+ // release the lock. Since it is recursive you actually have to
+ // release all locks held by your thread. This is safe to do if
+ // you are executing code that doesn't require the lock, and you
+ // reacquire the right number of locks at the end. You can do this
+ // by constructing a locally scoped JSLock::DropAllLocks object. The
+ // DropAllLocks object takes care to release the JSLock only if your
+ // thread acquired it to begin with.
+
+ // For contexts other than the single shared one, implicit locking is not done,
+ // but we still need to perform all the counting in order to keep debug
+ // assertions working, so that clients that use the shared context don't break.
