Enable chromium flag Experimental Javascript and window.gc does not work

[Chamal De Silva]

Hi,

I enabled flag "Enable Experimental Javascript" in chrome trunk build(Version 29.0.1514.0 (201417)).

But now window.gc() in javascript code does not work.

It gives this error "Uncaught TypeError: Object [object global] has no method 'gc'" when window.gc() is run.

Is window.gc() removed or renamed?

Thanks.

I don't think window.gc() does anything on Chrome anyway, unless you run the browser with special flags that change V8's behaviour.

I run the browser with this flag --js-flags="--expose-gc" which enables window.gc. But after enabling experimental javascript flag it does not work.

Enabling experimental JavaScript via chrome://flags overrides any custom --js-flags="..." on the command line. You can only have the one or the other.

Running chrome with these command line flags seems to enable both window.gc and experimental javascript.

chrome --js-flags="--expose-gc --harmony"
