The web app owner who notified me about bugs v8:12112 and v8:12126 asked me a reasonable question: "how am I ever supposed to trust the retaining paths in the devtools, if the heap snapshot is generated by a different component than the actual marking code?". This change is my attempt to answer that question. If verification is enabled, the heap snapshot generator will visit each heap object with a realistic marking visitor to find all references from that object. It will then check that those references match the HeapGraphEdges in the snapshot. I also considered the idea that we could collect retaining information during the last GC cycle before taking the heap snapshot, or during an extra GC cycle immediately after. However, running the full GC provides the embedder with the opportunity to run arbitrary code (including JS) both before and after PerformGarbageCollection, so there is no clear guarantee that the heap state during the snapshot actually matches the heap state during marking.
