Tests:

Object.defineProperty
function ctor() { var obj = new Item(); Object.defineProperty(obj, "a", { get: function() { return this._a; }, set: function(value) { this._a += value; } }); Object.defineProperty(obj, "b", { get: function() { return this._b * 2; }, set: function(value) { this._b += value + 2; } }); Object.defineProperty(obj, "c", { get: function() { return this._c * 4; }, set: function(value) { this._c += value / 2; } }); Object.defineProperty(obj, "d", { get: function() { return this._d * 3; }, set: function(value) { this._d += value - 1; } }); return obj; } window.leak = update(create(ctor));
Object.defineProperties
function ctor() { var obj = new Item(); Object.defineProperties(obj, { a: { get: function() { return this._a; }, set: function(value) { this._a += value; } }, b: { get: function() { return this._b * 2; }, set: function(value) { this._b += value + 2; } }, c: { get: function() { return this._c * 4; }, set: function(value) { this._c += value / 2; } }, d: { get: function() { return this._d * 3; }, set: function(value) { this._d += value - 1; } } }); return obj; } window.leak = update(create(ctor));
