Class Context

    java.lang.Object
      org.mozilla.javascript.Context

    public class Context

extends java.lang.Object

This class represents the runtime context of an executing script. Before executing a script, an instance of Context must be created and associated with the thread that will be executing the script. The Context will be used to store information about the executing of the script such as the call stack. Contexts are associated with the current thread using the `call(ContextAction)` or `enter()` methods.

Different forms of script execution are supported. Scripts may be evaluated from the source directly, or first compiled and then later executed. Interactive execution is also supported.

Some aspects of script execution, such as type conversions and object creation, may be accessed directly through methods of Context.

### FEATURE_NON_ECMA_GET_YEAR

    public static final int FEATURE_NON_ECMA_GET_YEAR

  Controls behaviour of `Date.prototype.getYear()`. If `hasFeature(FEATURE_NON_ECMA_GET_YEAR)` returns true, Date.prototype.getYear subtructs 1900 only if 1900 <= date < 2000. The default behavior of `hasFeature(int)` is always to subtruct 1900 as rquired by ECMAScript B.2.4.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_MEMBER_EXPR_AS_FUNCTION_NAME

    public static final int FEATURE_MEMBER_EXPR_AS_FUNCTION_NAME

  Control if member expression as function name extension is available. If `hasFeature(FEATURE_MEMBER_EXPR_AS_FUNCTION_NAME)` returns true, allow `function memberExpression(args) { body }` to be syntax sugar for `memberExpression = function(args) { body }`, when memberExpression is not a simple identifier. See ECMAScript-262, section 11.2 for definition of memberExpression. By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER

    public static final int FEATURE_RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER

  Control if reserved keywords are treated as identifiers. If `hasFeature(RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER)` returns true, treat future reserved keyword (see Ecma-262, section 7.5.3) as ordinary identifiers but warn about this usage. By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_TO_STRING_AS_SOURCE

    public static final int FEATURE_TO_STRING_AS_SOURCE

  Control if `toString()` should returns the same result as `toSource()` when applied to objects and arrays. If `hasFeature(FEATURE_TO_STRING_AS_SOURCE)` returns true, calling `toString()` on JS objects gives the same result as calling `toSource()`. That is it returns JS source with code to create an object with all enumeratable fields of the original object instead of printing `[object result of `Scriptable.getClassName()`]`.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns true only if the current JS version is set to `VERSION_1_2`.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES

    public static final int FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES

  Control if properties `__proto__` and `__parent__` are treated specially. If `hasFeature(FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES)` returns true, treat `__parent__` and `__proto__` as special properties.

  The properties allow to query and set scope and prototype chains for the objects. The special meaning of the properties is available only when they are used as the right hand side of the dot operator. For example, while `x.__proto__ = y` changes the prototype chain of the object `x` to point to `y`, `x["__proto__"] = y` simply assigns a new value to the property `__proto__` in `x` even when the feature is on. By default `hasFeature(int)` returns true.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPRTIES

    public static final int FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPRTIES

  Deprecated. In previous releases, this name was given to FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES.
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_E4X

    public static final int FEATURE_E4X

  Control if support for E4X(ECMAScript for XML) extension is available. If hasFeature(FEATURE_E4X) returns true, the XML syntax is available.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns true if the current JS version is set to `VERSION_DEFAULT` or is at least `VERSION_1_6`.

  Since:
    1.6 Release 1
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE

    public static final int FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE

  Control if dynamic scope should be used for name access. If hasFeature(FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE) returns true, then the name lookup during name resolution will use the top scope of the script or function which is at the top of JS execution stack instead of the top scope of the script or function from the current stack frame if the top scope of the top stack frame contains the top scope of the current stack frame on its prototype chain.

  This is useful to define shared scope containing functions that can be called from scripts and functions using private scopes.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  Since:
    1.6 Release 1
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_STRICT_VARS

    public static final int FEATURE_STRICT_VARS

  Control if strict variable mode is enabled. When the feature is on Rhino reports runtime errors if assignment to a global variable that does not exist is executed. When the feature is off such assignments create a new variable in the global scope as required by ECMA 262.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  Since:
    1.6 Release 1
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL

    public static final int FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL

  Control if strict eval mode is enabled. When the feature is on Rhino reports runtime errors if non-string argument is passed to the eval function. When the feature is off eval simply return non-string argument as is without performing any evaluation as required by ECMA 262.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  Since:
    1.6 Release 1
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_LOCATION_INFORMATION_IN_ERROR

    public static final int FEATURE_LOCATION_INFORMATION_IN_ERROR

  When the feature is on Rhino will add a "fileName" and "lineNumber" properties to Error objects automatically. When the feature is off, you have to explicitly pass them as the second and third argument to the Error constructor. Note that neither behavior is fully ECMA 262 compliant (as 262 doesn't specify a three-arg constructor), but keeping the feature off results in Error objects that don't have additional non-ECMA properties when constructed using the ECMA-defined single-arg constructor and is thus desirable if a stricter ECMA compliance is desired, specifically adherence to the point 15.11.5. of the standard.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  Since:
    1.6 Release 6
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_STRICT_MODE

    public static final int FEATURE_STRICT_MODE

  Controls whether JS 1.5 'strict mode' is enabled. When the feature is on, Rhino reports more than a dozen different warnings. When the feature is off, these warnings are not generated. FEATURE_STRICT_MODE implies FEATURE_STRICT_VARS and FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  Since:
    1.6 Release 6
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_WARNING_AS_ERROR

    public static final int FEATURE_WARNING_AS_ERROR

  Controls whether a warning should be treated as an error.

  Since:
    1.6 Release 6
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_ENHANCED_JAVA_ACCESS

    public static final int FEATURE_ENHANCED_JAVA_ACCESS

  Enables enhanced access to Java. Specifically, controls whether private and protected members can be accessed, and whether scripts can catch all Java exceptions.

  Note that this feature should only be enabled for trusted scripts.

  By default `hasFeature(int)` returns false.

  Since:
    1.7 Release 1
  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### languageVersionProperty

    public static final java.lang.String languageVersionProperty

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

### errorReporterProperty

    public static final java.lang.String errorReporterProperty

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

### emptyArgs

    public static final java.lang.Object[] emptyArgs

  Convenient value to use as zero-length array of objects.

### generateObserverCount

    public boolean generateObserverCount

Constructor Detail

### Context

    public Context()

  Deprecated. this constructor is deprecated because it creates a dependency on a static singleton context factory. Use `ContextFactory.enter()` or `ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)` instead. If you subclass this class, consider using `Context(ContextFactory)` constructor instead in the subclasses' constructors.

  Creates a new Context. The context will be associated with the `global context factory`. Note that the Context must be associated with a thread before it can be used to execute a script.

### Context

    protected Context(ContextFactory factory)

  Creates a new context. Provided as a preferred super constructor for subclasses in place of the deprecated default public constructor.

  Parameters:
    `factory` - the context factory associated with this context (most likely, the one that created the context). Can not be null. The context features are inherited from the factory, and the context will also otherwise use its factory's services.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if factory parameter is null.

Method Detail

### getCurrentContext

    public static Context getCurrentContext()

  Get the current Context. The current Context is per-thread; this method looks up the Context associated with the current thread.

  Returns:
    the Context associated with the current thread, or null if no context is associated with the current thread.
  See Also:
    `ContextFactory.enterContext()`, `ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)`

### enter

    public static Context enter()

  Same as calling `ContextFactory.enterContext()` on the global ContextFactory instance.

  Returns:
    a Context associated with the current thread
  See Also:
    `getCurrentContext()`, `exit()`, `call(ContextAction)`

### enter

    public static Context enter(Context cx)

  Deprecated. use `ContextFactory.enterContext(Context)` instead as this method relies on usage of a static singleton "global" ContextFactory.

  Get a Context associated with the current thread, using the given Context if need be.

  The same as `enter()` except that `cx` is associated with the current thread and returned if the current thread has no associated context and `cx` is not associated with any other thread.

  Parameters:
    `cx` - a Context to associate with the thread if possible
  Returns:
    a Context associated with the current thread
  See Also:
    `ContextFactory.enterContext(Context)`, `ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)`

### exit

    public static void exit()

  Exit a block of code requiring a Context. Calling `exit()` will remove the association between the current thread and a Context if the prior call to `ContextFactory.enterContext()` on this thread newly associated a Context with this thread. Once the current thread no longer has an associated Context, it cannot be used to execute JavaScript until it is again associated with a Context.

  See Also:
    `ContextFactory.enterContext()`

### call

    public static java.lang.Object call(ContextAction action)

  Deprecated. use `ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)` instead as this method relies on usage of a static singleton "global" ContextFactory.

  Call `ContextAction.run(Context cx)` using the Context instance associated with the current thread. If no Context is associated with the thread, then `ContextFactory.getGlobal().makeContext()` will be called to construct new Context instance. The instance will be temporary associated with the thread during call to `ContextAction.run(Context)`.

  Returns:
    The result of `ContextAction.run(Context)`.

### call

    public static java.lang.Object call(ContextFactory factory,
                                        Callable callable,
                                        Scriptable scope,
                                        Scriptable thisObj,
                                        java.lang.Object[] args)

  Call `Callable.call(Context cx, Scriptable scope, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args)` using the Context instance associated with the current thread. If no Context is associated with the thread, then `ContextFactory.makeContext()` will be called to construct new Context instance. The instance will be temporary associated with the thread during call to `ContextAction.run(Context)`.

  It is allowed but not advisable to use null for `factory` argument in which case the global static singleton ContextFactory instance will be used to create new context instances.

  See Also:
    `ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)`

    public static void addContextListener(ContextListener listener)

  Deprecated.

  See Also:
    `ContextFactory.addListener(org.mozilla.javascript.ContextFactory.Listener)`, `ContextFactory.getGlobal()`

### getFactory

    public final ContextFactory getFactory()

  Return `ContextFactory` instance used to create this Context.

    `seal(Object sealKey)`

### seal

    public final void seal(java.lang.Object sealKey)

  Seal this Context object so any attempt to modify any of its properties including calling `enter()` and `exit()` methods will throw an exception.

### initStandardObjects

    public final ScriptableObject initStandardObjects()

  Initialize the standard objects. Creates instances of the standard objects and their constructors (Object, String, Number, Date, etc.), setting up 'scope' to act as a global object as in ECMA 15.1.

  This method must be called to initialize a scope before scripts can be evaluated in that scope.

  This method does not affect the Context it is called upon.

  Returns:
    the initialized scope

### initStandardObjects

    public final Scriptable initStandardObjects(ScriptableObject scope)

  Initialize the standard objects. Creates instances of the standard objects and their constructors (Object, String, Number, Date, etc.), setting up 'scope' to act as a global object as in ECMA 15.1.

  This method must be called to initialize a scope before scripts can be evaluated in that scope.

  This method does not affect the Context it is called upon.

  Parameters:
    `scope` - the scope to initialize, or null, in which case a new object will be created to serve as the scope
  Returns:
    the initialized scope. The method returns the value of the scope argument if it is not null or newly allocated scope object which is an instance `ScriptableObject`.

### initStandardObjects

    public ScriptableObject initStandardObjects(ScriptableObject scope,
                                                boolean sealed)

  Initialize the standard objects. Creates instances of the standard objects and their constructors (Object, String, Number, Date, etc.), setting up 'scope' to act as a global object as in ECMA 15.1.

  This method must be called to initialize a scope before scripts can be evaluated in that scope.

  This method does not affect the Context it is called upon.

  This form of the method also allows for creating "sealed" standard objects. An object that is sealed cannot have properties added, changed, or removed. This is useful to create a "superglobal" that can be shared among several top-level objects. Note that sealing is not allowed in the current ECMA/ISO language specification, but is likely for the next version.

  Parameters:
    `scope` - the scope to initialize, or null, in which case a new object will be created to serve as the scope
    `sealed` - whether or not to create sealed standard objects that cannot be modified.
  Returns:
    the initialized scope. The method returns the value of the scope argument if it is not null or newly allocated scope object.

  Returns:
    the corresponding boolean value converted using the ECMA rules

### toNumber

    public static double toNumber(java.lang.Object value)

  Convert the value to a JavaScript Number value.

  Returns a Java double for the JavaScript Number.

  See ECMA 9.3.

  Parameters:
    `value` - a JavaScript value
  Returns:
    the corresponding double value converted using the ECMA rules

### toString

    public static java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object value)

### toObject

    public static Scriptable toObject(java.lang.Object value,
                                      Scriptable scope)

  Convert the value to an JavaScript object value.

  Note that a scope must be provided to look up the constructors for Number, Boolean, and String.

  See ECMA 9.9.

  Additionally, arbitrary Java objects and classes will be wrapped in a Scriptable object with its Java fields and methods reflected as JavaScript properties of the object.

  Parameters:
    `value` - any Java object
    `scope` - global scope containing constructors for Number, Boolean, and String
  Returns:
    new JavaScript object

### toObject

    public static Scriptable toObject(java.lang.Object value,
                                      Scriptable scope,
                                      java.lang.Class<?> staticType)

  Deprecated.

  See Also:
    `toObject(Object, Scriptable)`

### javaToJS

    public static java.lang.Object javaToJS(java.lang.Object value,
                                            Scriptable scope)

  Convenient method to convert java value to its closest representation in JavaScript.

  If value is an instance of String, Number, Boolean, Function or Scriptable, it is returned as it and will be treated as the corresponding JavaScript type of string, number, boolean, function and object.

  Note that for Number instances during any arithmetic operation in JavaScript the engine will always use the result of `Number.doubleValue()` resulting in a precision loss if the number can not fit into double.

  If value is an instance of Character, it will be converted to string of length 1 and its JavaScript type will be string.

  The rest of values will be wrapped as LiveConnect objects by calling `WrapFactory.wrap(Context cx, Scriptable scope, Object obj, Class staticType)` as in:

          Context cx = Context.getCurrentContext();
          return cx.getWrapFactory().wrap(cx, scope, value, null);

  Parameters:
    `value` - any Java object
    `scope` - top scope object
  Returns:
    value suitable to pass to any API that takes JavaScript values.

### jsToJava

    public static java.lang.Object jsToJava(java.lang.Object value,
                                            java.lang.Class<?> desiredType)
                                     throws EvaluatorException

  Convert a JavaScript value into the desired type. Uses the semantics defined with LiveConnect3 and throws an Illegal argument exception if the conversion cannot be performed.

  Parameters:
    `value` - the JavaScript value to convert
    `desiredType` - the Java type to convert to. Primitive Java types are represented using the TYPE fields in the corresponding wrapper class in java.lang.
  Returns:
    the converted value
  Throws:
    `EvaluatorException` - if the conversion cannot be performed

### toType

    public static java.lang.Object toType(java.lang.Object value,
                                          java.lang.Class<?> desiredType)
                                   throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

  Deprecated.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the conversion cannot be performed. Note that `jsToJava(Object, Class)` throws `EvaluatorException` instead.
  See Also:
    `jsToJava(Object, Class)`

### throwAsScriptRuntimeEx

    public static java.lang.RuntimeException throwAsScriptRuntimeEx(java.lang.Throwable e)

  Rethrow the exception wrapping it as the script runtime exception. Unless the exception is instance of `EcmaError` or `EvaluatorException` it will be wrapped as `WrappedException`, a subclass of `EvaluatorException`. The resulting exception object always contains source name and line number of script that triggered exception.

  This method always throws an exception, its return value is provided only for convenience to allow a usage like:

       throw Context.throwAsScriptRuntimeEx(ex);

  to indicate that code after the method is unreachable.

  Throws:
    `EvaluatorException`
    `EcmaError`

### isGeneratingDebug

    public final boolean isGeneratingDebug()

  Tell whether debug information is being generated.

  Since:
    1.3

### setGeneratingDebug

    public final void setGeneratingDebug(boolean generatingDebug)

  Specify whether or not debug information should be generated.

  Setting the generation of debug information on will set the optimization level to zero.

  Since:
    1.3

### isGeneratingSource

    public final boolean isGeneratingSource()

  Tell whether source information is being generated.

  Since:
    1.3

### setGeneratingSource

    public final void setGeneratingSource(boolean generatingSource)

  Specify whether or not source information should be generated.

  Without source information, evaluating the "toString" method on JavaScript functions produces only "[native code]" for the body of the function. Note that code generated without source is not fully ECMA conformant.

  Since:
    1.3

### getOptimizationLevel

    public final int getOptimizationLevel()

  Get the current optimization level.

  The optimization level is expressed as an integer between -1 and 9.

  Since:
    1.3

### setOptimizationLevel

    public final void setOptimizationLevel(int optimizationLevel)

  Set the current optimization level.

  The optimization level is expected to be an integer between -1 and 9. Any negative values will be interpreted as -1, and any values greater than 9 will be interpreted as 9. An optimization level of -1 indicates that interpretive mode will always be used. Levels 0 through 9 indicate that class files may be generated. Higher optimization levels trade off compile time performance for runtime performance. The optimizer level can't be set greater than -1 if the optimizer package doesn't exist at run time.

  Parameters:
    `optimizationLevel` - an integer indicating the level of optimization to perform
  Since:
    1.3

### isValidOptimizationLevel

    public static boolean isValidOptimizationLevel(int optimizationLevel)

### checkOptimizationLevel

    public static void checkOptimizationLevel(int optimizationLevel)

### getMaximumInterpreterStackDepth

    public final int getMaximumInterpreterStackDepth()

  Returns the maximum stack depth (in terms of number of call frames) allowed in a single invocation of interpreter. If the set depth would be exceeded, the interpreter will throw an EvaluatorException in the script. Defaults to Integer.MAX_VALUE. The setting only has effect for interpreted functions (those compiled with optimization level set to -1). As the interpreter doesn't use the Java stack but rather manages its own stack in the heap memory, a runaway recursion in interpreted code would eventually consume all available memory and cause OutOfMemoryError instead of a StackOverflowError limited to only a single thread. This setting helps prevent such situations.

  Returns:
    The current maximum interpreter stack depth.

### setMaximumInterpreterStackDepth

    public final void setMaximumInterpreterStackDepth(int max)

  Sets the maximum stack depth (in terms of number of call frames) allowed in a single invocation of interpreter. If the set depth would be exceeded, the interpreter will throw an EvaluatorException in the script. Defaults to Integer.MAX_VALUE. The setting only has effect for interpreted functions (those compiled with optimization level set to -1). As the interpreter doesn't use the Java stack but rather manages its own stack in the heap memory, a runaway recursion in interpreted code would eventually consume all available memory and cause OutOfMemoryError instead of a StackOverflowError limited to only a single thread. This setting helps prevent such situations.

  Parameters:
    `max` - the new maximum interpreter stack depth
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if this context's optimization level is not -1
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the new depth is not at least 1

### setSecurityController

    public final void setSecurityController(SecurityController controller)

  Set the security controller for this context.

  SecurityController may only be set if it is currently null and `SecurityController.hasGlobal()` is `false`. Otherwise a SecurityException is thrown.

  Parameters:
    `controller` - a SecurityController object
  Throws:
    `java.lang.SecurityException` - if there is already a SecurityController object for this Context or globally installed.
  See Also:
    `SecurityController.initGlobal(SecurityController controller)`, `SecurityController.hasGlobal()`

### setClassShutter

    public final void setClassShutter(ClassShutter shutter)

  Set the LiveConnect access filter for this context.

  `ClassShutter` may only be set if it is currently null. Otherwise a SecurityException is thrown.

    `shutter` - a ClassShutter object
  Throws:
    `java.lang.SecurityException` - if there is already a ClassShutter object for this Context

### getClassShutterSetter

    public final Context.ClassShutterSetter getClassShutterSetter()

### getThreadLocal

    public final java.lang.Object getThreadLocal(java.lang.Object key)

  Get a value corresponding to a key.

  Since the Context is associated with a thread it can be used to maintain values that can be later retrieved using the current thread.

  Note that the values are maintained with the Context, so if the Context is disassociated from the thread the values cannot be retrieved. Also, if private data is to be maintained in this manner the key should be a java.lang.Object whose reference is not divulged to untrusted code.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key used to lookup the value
  Returns:
    a value previously stored using putThreadLocal.

### putThreadLocal

    public final void putThreadLocal(java.lang.Object key,
                                     java.lang.Object value)

  Put a value that can later be retrieved using a given key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key used to index the value
    `value` - the value to save

### removeThreadLocal

    public final void removeThreadLocal(java.lang.Object key)

  Remove values from thread-local storage.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key for the entry to remove.

### hasFeature

    public boolean hasFeature(int featureIndex)

  Controls certain aspects of script semantics. Should be overwritten to alter default behavior.

  The default implementation calls `ContextFactory.hasFeature(Context cx, int featureIndex)` that allows to customize Context behavior without introducing Context subclasses. `ContextFactory` documentation gives an example of hasFeature implementation.

  Parameters:
    `featureIndex` - feature index to check
  Returns:
    true if the `featureIndex` feature is turned on
  See Also:
    `FEATURE_NON_ECMA_GET_YEAR`, `FEATURE_MEMBER_EXPR_AS_FUNCTION_NAME`, `FEATURE_RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER`, `FEATURE_TO_STRING_AS_SOURCE`, `FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPRTIES`, `FEATURE_E4X`, `FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE`, `FEATURE_STRICT_VARS`, `FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL`, `FEATURE_LOCATION_INFORMATION_IN_ERROR`, `FEATURE_STRICT_MODE`, `FEATURE_WARNING_AS_ERROR`, `FEATURE_ENHANCED_JAVA_ACCESS`

### getE4xImplementationFactory

    public XMLLib.Factory getE4xImplementationFactory()

  Returns an object which specifies an E4X implementation to use within this `Context`. Note that the XMLLib.Factory interface should be considered experimental. The default implementation uses the implementation provided by this `Context`'s `ContextFactory`.

  Returns:
    An XMLLib.Factory. Should not return `null` if `FEATURE_E4X` is enabled. See `hasFeature(int)`.

### getInstructionObserverThreshold

    public final int getInstructionObserverThreshold()

  Get threshold of executed instructions counter that triggers call to `observeInstructionCount()`. When the threshold is zero, instruction counting is disabled, otherwise each time the run-time executes at least the threshold value of script instructions, `observeInstructionCount()` will be called.

### setInstructionObserverThreshold

    public final void setInstructionObserverThreshold(int threshold)

  Set threshold of executed instructions counter that triggers call to `observeInstructionCount()`. When the threshold is zero, instruction counting is disabled, otherwise each time the run-time executes at least the threshold value of script instructions, `observeInstructionCount()` will be called.

  Note that the meaning of "instruction" is not guaranteed to be consistent between compiled and interpretive modes: executing a given script or function in the different modes will result in different instruction counts against the threshold. `setGenerateObserverCount(boolean)` is called with true if `threshold` is greater than zero, false otherwise.

  Parameters:
    `threshold` - The instruction threshold

### setGenerateObserverCount

    public void setGenerateObserverCount(boolean generateObserverCount)

  Turn on or off generation of code with callbacks to track the count of executed instructions. Currently only affects JVM byte code generation: this slows down the generated code, but code generated without the callbacks will not be counted toward instruction thresholds. Rhino's interpretive mode does instruction counting without inserting callbacks, so there is no requirement to compile code differently.

  Parameters:
    `generateObserverCount` - if true, generated code will contain calls to accumulate an estimate of the instructions executed.

### observeInstructionCount

    protected void observeInstructionCount(int instructionCount)

  Allow application to monitor counter of executed script instructions in Context subclasses. Run-time calls this when instruction counting is enabled and the counter reaches limit set by `setInstructionObserverThreshold()`. The method is useful to observe long running scripts and if necessary to terminate them.

  The default implementation calls `ContextFactory.observeInstructionCount(Context cx, int instructionCount)` that allows to customize Context behavior without introducing Context subclasses.

  Parameters:
    `instructionCount` - amount of script instruction executed since last call to `observeInstructionCount`
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Error` - to terminate the script
  See Also:
    `setOptimizationLevel(int)`

### createClassLoader

    public GeneratedClassLoader createClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader parent)

  Create class loader for generated classes. The method calls `ContextFactory.createClassLoader(ClassLoader)` using the result of `getFactory()`.

### getApplicationClassLoader

    public final java.lang.ClassLoader getApplicationClassLoader()

### setApplicationClassLoader

    public final void setApplicationClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

### isGeneratingDebugChanged

    public final boolean isGeneratingDebugChanged()

  Check whether the name is in the list of names of objects forcing the creation of activation objects.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the object to test
  Returns:
    true if an function activation object is needed.

### removeActivationName

    public void removeActivationName(java.lang.String name)

  Remove a name from the list of names forcing the creation of real activation objects for functions.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the object to remove from the list
