Transitioning from a stack frame running optimized code to a frame or multiple frames running the corresponding unoptimized code. Usually because a speculative assumption made by the optimized code has been discovered to no longer hold.
## Eager deoptimization
Deoptimization triggered when the currently executing function discovers a speculative assumption no longer holds.
## Lazy deoptimization
Deoptimization scheduled when a function on the stack may depend on an assumption that no longer holds, which is applied later when a return or throw would return to that function.
## Deopt id
An identifier that matches a position in optimized code to a position in unoptimized code.

## Zone
[Arena allocation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region-based_memory_management) in the C++ runtime: allocations into a zone are not freed individually but all at once when the zone ends. Major uses of zone allocation include local handles and flow-graph instructions.
