Hi all,

I am graduate student at University of Virginia, looking to improve some 
security features of webkit and I am currently looking at IsolatedWorld 
mechanism specifically. I wish to broaden its usage to protect the webpages 
against embedded third-party scripts.

I have a question here: 

in Class DOMWrapperWorld (WebCore/bindings/js/DOMWrapperWorld.h), there are two 
variables: JSC::JSGlobalData* m_globalData; and HashSet<Document*> 
m_documentsWithWrapperCaches; 

Upon initialization of the script execution, the DOMWrapperWorld is later used 
to create a JSDOMWindowShell, which contains two variables: JSDOMWindow* 
m_window; and the world itself. Correct me if I am wrong, this Windowshell is 
later used to create ExecState variable and then passed on to JavascriptCore as 
script runtime environment.

I want to know where does the javascript document tree object of the webpage 
resides in. Clearly the DOMWrapperWorld has a hashmap variable of document 
class, however I don't see there is any code touching that variable. In other 
words, when the browser encounters a script like "var a = 10;", where does the 
browser stores this variable? I assume it's gonna store it in one of the 
abovementioned data structures...

Many thanks in advance,

Best,
