    124 // clients of the API may simply use the context from multiple threads
    125 // concurently, and assume this will work.  In order to make this work,
    126 // We lock the context when a thread enters, and unlock it when it leaves.
    127 // However we do not only unlock when the thread returns from its
    128 // entry point (evaluate script or call function), we also unlock the
    129 // context if the thread leaves JSC by making a call out to an external
    130 // function through a callback.
    131 //
    132 // All threads using the context share the same JS stack (the RegisterFile).
    133 // Whenever a thread calls into JSC it starts using the RegisterFile from the
    134 // previous 'high water mark' - the maximum point the stack has ever grown to
    135 // (returned by RegisterFile::end()).  So if a first thread calls out to a
    136 // callback, and a second thread enters JSC, then also exits by calling out
    137 // to a callback, we can be left with stackframes from both threads in the
    138 // RegisterFile.  As such, a problem may occur should the first thread's
    139 // callback complete first, and attempt to return to JSC.  Were we to allow
    140 // this to happen, and were its stack to grow further, then it may potentially
    141 // write over the second thread's call frames.
    142 //
    143 // In avoid JS stack corruption we enforce a policy of only ever allowing two
    144 // threads to use a JS context concurrently, and only allowing the second of
    145 // these threads to execute until it has completed and fully returned from its
    146 // outermost call into JSC.  We enforce this policy using 'lockDropDepth'.  The
    147 // first time a thread exits it will call DropAllLocks - which will do as expected
    148 // and drop locks allowing another thread to enter.  Should another thread, or the
    149 // same thread again, enter JSC (through evaluate script or call function), and exit
    150 // again through a callback, then the locks will not be dropped when DropAllLocks
    151 // is called (since lockDropDepth is non-zero).  Since this thread is still holding
    152 // the locks, only it will re able to re-enter JSC (either be returning from the
    153 // callback, or by re-entering through another call to evaulate script or call
    154 // function).
    155 //
    156 // This policy is slightly more restricive than it needs to be for correctness -
    157 // we could validly allow futher entries into JSC from other threads, we only
    158 // need ensure that callbacks return in the reverse chronological order of the
    159 // order in which they were made - though implementing the less restrictive policy
    160 // would likely increase complexity and overhead.
