hi all!

for some reasons i need a little richer AddRoot function.
normally when i need to protect an object of gc'ing
i do as follows:
JS_AddRoot(ctxt, &ptr_to_my_js_object);

but if i have many objects - in a table such as:

jvalue		table[100];
or
JSObject *      table[100];

i have to AddRoot every object in the table, what
seems to be silly, because all of them will stay
in the internal hashtable which contains roots.

i haven't found any legal (or illegal) function:

JS_AddRoot(ctxt, table, table_len) to add whole table
as set of roots.

does anybody know how to do it? (if possible)
or maybe there are some alternative solutions?

thanks in advance
aw
