[Interest] QJSEngine/QJSValue setProperty and deleteProperty Question

[Daniel Hein]

Hi,

I have a question concerning the exact semantics of 
QJSValue::setProperty and QJSValue::deleteProperty functions. 
Specifically, what happens if I do something akin to this example:

*) I evaluate a script using the QJSEngine::evaluate() function. As a 
consequence I now have a set of properties in the global context of the 
script engine corresponding to the script defined properties, such as 
objects and functions
*) I copy? one of these functions into a container object living in the 
global context using container.setProperty("functionName", function)
*) I delete the function object in the global context 
global.deleteProperty("functionName")

My question is, does deleting the property "functionName" in the global 
context also invalidate the copy in the container?

According to the QJSValue documentation:
> Note that a QJSValue for which isObject() is true only carries a

copying a QJSValue results in a flat copy, if the QJSValue wraps an 
object. In JavaScript functions are objects. So, I am unsure, if the 
global.deleteProperty("functionName") call just deletes this particular 
object reference, or the object itself.

Thanks for any help,
Daniel
