Subj : Lifespan of Function objects

Let's say that I create a JSContext using JS_NewContext and then load a
script into that context using JS_EvaluateScript. In that script I set a
property on a global object to point to a function that was defined in that
script . . .

function Test( )
{
     // body
}

object.onError = Test;

What happens if I destroy the script context and then try to access that
function? Is it protected from GC because it's a property of a global
object? Does it need to be rooted? Will it always be destroyed when the
context is destroyed?

Thanks,
