This allows us to mark weak/detached references in the heap snapshot. Also mark weak/detached BaseObject with Detachedness::kDetached so that the state of the reference can be displayed by frontend consuming the heap snapshot.

With the following snippet:

const dns = require('dns'); dns.resolve('localhost', () => { setTimeout(write, 1000); }); function write() { const v8 = require('v8'); v8.writeHeapSnapshot(); }

The cleanup queue in the generated heap snapshot previously looked like this in the DevTools - nodes that will be GC'ed once they are no longer referenced from JS land are not distinguished from nodes that are kept alive from the C++ land.

Now it looks like this - nodes that will be GC'ed once they are no longer referenced from JS have the Detached label (note that in the case of ChannelWrap, if we take the snapshot before the query completes, the ChannelWrap won't be marked as Detached, because it would still be reachable from the QueryWrap which is kept alive by C++ i.e. being attached - objects reachable from attached objects are also considered attached by DevTools):
