Currently we save a reference to an `LView` on most DOM nodes created by Angular either by saving the `LView` directly in the `__ngContext__` or by saving the `LContext` which has a reference to the `LView`. This can be a problem if the DOM node is retained in memory, because the `LView` has references to all of the child nodes of the view, as well as other internal data structures. Previously we tried to resolve the issue by clearing the `__ngContext__` when a node is removed (see https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/36011), but we decided not to proceeed, because it can slow down destruction due to a megamorphic write. These changes aim to address the issue while reducing the performance impact by assigning a unique ID when an `LView` is created and adding it to `__ngContext__`. All active views are tracked in a map where their unique ID is used as the key. We don't need to worry about leaks within that map, because `LView`s are an internal data structure and we have complete control over when they are created and destroyed. Fixes #41047. PR Close #41358

js_expected_symbol_test
This folder contains tests which assert that most of the code is tree shaken away. This is asserted by keeping gold files of all symbols which are expected to be retained. When doing renaming it is often necessary to update the gold files, to do so use these commands:
yarn bazel run --config=ivy //packages/core/test/bundling/injection:symbol_test.accept
yarn bazel run --config=ivy //packages/core/test/bundling/cyclic_import:symbol_test.accept
yarn bazel run --config=ivy //packages/core/test/bundling/forms:symbol_test.accept
yarn bazel run --config=ivy //packages/core/test/bundling/hello_world:symbol_test.accept
yarn bazel run --config=ivy //packages/core/test/bundling/router:symbol_test.accept
yarn bazel run --config=ivy //packages/core/test/bundling/todo:symbol_test.accept
Running all symbol tests
To run all symbol tests with one command, you can use the following scripts:
yarn run symbol-extractor:check
yarn run symbol-extractor:update
