Some functions in spidermonkey are friendly and call out the fact that they're locking/unlocking: DestroyTrapAndUnlock DropWatchPointAndUnlock the js_CurrentThread family is not friendly which results in poor comments being added after each call site: 785 #ifdef JS_THREADSAFE 786 if (!js_InitContextThread(cx)) { 787 FreeContext(cx); 788 return NULL; 789 } 790 #endif 791 792 /* 793 * Here the GC lock is still held after js_InitContextThread took it and 794 * the GC is not running on another thread. 5949 if (!js_InitContextThread(cx)) { 5950 js_ReportOutOfMemory(cx); 5951 return -1; 5952 } 5953 5954 /* Here the GC lock is still held after js_InitContextThread took it. */ While giving a function a helpful name doesn't immediately help a static analyzer, it does immediately help anyone using a static analyzer.
Summary: js_CurrentThread and friends should have AndLockGCRT or something in their name → js_CurrentThread and friends should have AndLockGC in their name
