Hello V8 community, In a heap snapshot of my production node server I noticed that every "compiled code" entry has a "source" field containing a string of what appears to be the original javascript source code. I have a few questions about this:
1. Are these strings required at runtime for JIT compilation? This source <https://blog.logrocket.com/how-javascript-works-optimizing-the-v8-compiler-for-efficiency/> I've found says that: "bytecode is used as the source of truth, removing the need to re-parse Javascript during compilation. This means that with bytecode, TurboFan’s deoptimization no longer requires the original source code." I'm taking this to mean these strings are not needed at runtime for JIT compilation. Am I interpreting this correctly? 2. If these strings are not needed for JIT compilation at runtime, are they maintained at runtime in order to make the program more easily debug-able? 3. If they are included for debugging purposes and not strictly necessary, is there any way to disable this? Thanks!
