This commit adds support for the most bare bones version of async
functions, support for async generator functions, async arrow functions
and await expressions are TODO.
The old versions were renamed to JS_DECLARE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION and
JS_DEFINE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION, and will be eventually removed once all
native functions were converted to the new format.
This is just another workaround, but it should be much more reliable
than Interpreter::realm(), especially when allocating NativeFunctions
and ECMAScriptFunctionObjects: we're guaranteed to have a GlobalObject
at that point, and it likely was set as the GlobalObject of a Realm and
can lead us back to it. We're however not guaranteed that the VM can
give us an Interpreter, which is why functions in LibWeb can be a bit
crashy at the moment.
We use a WeakPtr<Realm> to properly handle the unlikely case where the
Realm goes away after associating a GlobalObject to it.
We'll always need _something_ of this sort if we want to support
OrdinaryFunctionCreate and CreateBuiltinFunction without the explicit
realm argument while no JS is running, because they want to use the
current Realm Record (always in the first and as fallback in the second
case).
The way that transition avoidance (foo_without_transition) was
implemented led to shapes being unshareable and caused shape explosion
instead, precisely what we were trying to avoid.
This patch removes all the attempts to avoid transitioning shapes, and
instead *adds* transitions when changing an object's prototype.
This makes transitions flow naturally, and as a result we end up with
way fewer shape objects in real-world situations.
When we run out of big problems, we can get back to avoiding transitions
as an optimization, but for now, let's avoid ballooning our processes
with a unique shape for every object.
This is where the spec wants to have it. Requires a couple of hacks as
currently everything that needs a Realm actually has a GlobalObject, so
we need to go via the Interpreter.
Instead of hardcoding the environment's global object as the return
value of GlobalEnvironment::global_this_value(), it now stores an Object
reference which is passed to the constructor for this purpose.
From the spec (https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-global-environment-records):
[[GlobalThisValue]] | Object | The value returned by this in global
scope. Hosts may provide any ECMAScript Object value.
- Replace the misleading abuse of the m_transitions_enabled flag for the
fast path without lookup with a new m_initialized boolean that's set
either by Heap::allocate() after calling the Object's initialize(), or
by the GlobalObject in its special initialize_global_object(). This
makes it work regardless of the shape's uniqueness.
- When we're adding a new property past the initialization phase,
there's no need to do a second metadata lookup to retrieve the storage
value offset - it's known to always be the shape's property count
minus one. Also, instead of doing manual storage resizing and
assignment via indexing, just use Vector::append().
- When we didn't add a new property but are overwriting an existing one,
the property count and therefore storage value offset doesn't change,
so we don't have to retrieve it either.
As a result, Object::set_shape() is now solely responsible for updating
the m_shape pointer and is not resizing storage anymore, so I moved it
into the header.
Add a JS_ENUMERATE_INTL_OBJECTS macro and use it to generate:
- Forward declarations
- CommonPropertyNames class name members
- Constructor and prototype GlobalObject members, getters, visitors,
and initialize_constructor() calls
This is the start of implementing ECMA-402 in LibJS, better known as the
ECMAScript Internationalization API.
Much like Temporal this gets its own subdirectory (Runtime/Intl/) as
well as a new C++ namespace (JS::Intl) so we don't have to prefix all
the files and classes with "Intl".

This commit adds the PlainYearMonth object itself, its constructor and
prototype (currently empty), and the CreateTemporalYearMonth and
ISOYearMonthWithinLimits abstract operations.
This commit adds the ZonedDateTime object itself, its constructor and
prototype (currently empty), and the CreateTemporalZonedDateTime
abstract operation.
This implementation closely follows the StringIterator object in that
the abstract closure meant to be created in CreateRegExpStringIterator
is instead unrolled into RegExpStringIterator.prototype.next.
Just like the previous Temporal.{Instant,TimeZone} commits, this patch
adds the Calendar object itself, its constructor and prototype
(currently empty), and two required abstract operations.
Just like the initial Temporal.TimeZone commit, this patch adds the
Instant object itself, its constructor and prototype (currently empty),
and two required abstract operations.
Here we got our first Temporal object :^)
This patch adds the TimeZone object itself, its constructor and
prototype (currently empty), and a bunch of required abstract operations
Add a JS_ENUMERATE_TEMPORAL_OBJECTS macro and use it to generate:
- Forward declarations
- CommonPropertyNames class name members
- Constructor and prototype GlobalObject members, getters, visitors,
and initialize_constructor() calls
Currently empty, but we gotta start somewhere! This is the start of
implementing the Temporal proposal (currently stage 3).
I have decided to start a new subdirectory (Runtime/Temporal/) as well
as a new C++ namespace (JS::Temporal) for this so we don't have to
prefix all the files and classes with "Temporal" - there will be a lot.

This removes all usages of the non-standard define_property helper
method and replaces all it's usages with the specification required
alternative or with define_direct_property where appropriate.
This is a huge patch, I know. In hindsight this perhaps could've been
done slightly more incremental, but I started and then fixed everything
until it worked, and here we are. I tried splitting of some completely
unrelated changes into separate commits, however. Anyway.
This is a rewrite of most of Object, and by extension large parts of
Array, Proxy, Reflect, String, TypedArray, and some other things.
What we already had worked fine for about 90% of things, but getting the
last 10% right proved to be increasingly difficult with the current code
that sort of grew organically and is only very loosely based on the
spec - this became especially obvious when we started fixing a large
number of test262 failures.
Key changes include:
- 1:1 matching function names and parameters of all object-related
functions, to avoid ambiguity. Previously we had things like put(),
which the spec doesn't have - as a result it wasn't always clear which
need to be used.
- Better separation between object abstract operations and internal
methods - the former are always the same, the latter can be overridden
(and are therefore virtual). The internal methods (i.e. [[Foo]] in the
spec) are now prefixed with 'internal_' for clarity - again, it was
previously not always clear which AO a certain method represents,
get() could've been both Get and [[Get]] (I don't know which one it
was closer to right now).
Note that some of the old names have been kept until all code relying
on them is updated, but they are now simple wrappers around the
closest matching standard abstract operation.
- Simplifications of the storage layer: functions that write values to
storage are now prefixed with 'storage_' to make their purpose clear,
and as they are not part of the spec they should not contain any steps
specified by it. Much functionality is now covered by the layers above
it and was removed (e.g. handling of accessors, attribute checks).
- PropertyAttributes has been greatly simplified, and is being replaced
by PropertyDescriptor - a concept similar to the current
implementation, but more aligned with the actual spec. See the commit
message of the previous commit where it was introduced for details.
- As a bonus, and since I had to look at the spec a whole lot anyway, I
introduced more inline comments with the exact steps from the spec -
this makes it super easy to verify correctness.
- East-const all the things.
As a result of all of this, things are much more correct but a bit
slower now. Retaining speed wasn't a consideration at all, I have done
no profiling of the new code - there might be low hanging fruits, which
we can then harvest separately.
Special thanks to Idan for helping me with this by tracking down bugs,
updating everything outside of LibJS to work with these changes (LibWeb,
Spreadsheet, HackStudio), as well as providing countless patches to fix
regressions I introduced - there still are very few (we got it down to
5), but we also get many new passing test262 tests in return. :^)
