As mentioned in bug 720949 comment 14, to implement V8's API for ArrayBuffers, SpiderMonkey's ArrayBuffer needs the ability to manage external data provided by the embedding. In difference to the requirements in that bug, it must be possible to let the embedding continue to change that data.

In bug 720949 comment 17, sfink says that this should be much easier once bug 586842 is done.

Thanks for setting the depends flag, sfink. I just got Edit Bugs permissions, so in the future I'll set stuff like that myself.

Bug 827490 just landed.  Does that help?

Presumably, yes. As nobody is working on V8Monkey right now, this isn't a priority ATM, though.

Sorry, should have replied sooner.

Unfortunately, no. That was the opinion of both bhackett and Waldo. Bug 827490 didn't really change the fundamental layout of objects.

Oh, and I should mention that this is wanted for a number of things, not just V8Monkey. It would improve the handling of audio buffers, for example.
