To add grouping to a number, we take a string such as "123456.123" and
break it into integer and fraction parts. Then we take the integer part
and break it into locale-specific sized groups to inject the locale's
group separator (e.g. a comma in en-US). We currently create new strings
for each of these groups. Instead, we can use the shared superstring
method to avoid all of that string copying.
First, this adds an overload of PrimitiveString::create for StringView.
This overload will throw an OOM completion if creating a String fails.
This is not only a bit more convenient, but it also ensures at compile
time that all PrimitiveString::create(string_view) invocations will be
handled as String and OOM-aware.
Next, this wraps all invocations to PrimitiveString::create(string_view)
with MUST_OR_THROW_OOM.
A small PrimitiveString::create(DeprecatedFlyString) overload also had
to be added to disambiguate between the StringView and DeprecatedString
overloads.
This is a normative change in the Intl.NumberFormat V3 spec. See:
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-intl-numberformat-v3/commit/08f599b
Note that this didn't seem to actually affect our implementation. The
Unicode spec states:
https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-53/tr35-numbers.html#Plural_Ranges
"If there is no value for a <start,end> pair, the default result is end"
Therefore, our implementation did not have the behavior noted by the
issue this normative change addressed:
const pr = new Intl.PluralRules("en-US");
pr.selectRange(1, 1); // Is "other", should be "one"
Our implementation already returned "one" here because there is no such
<start=one, end=one> value in the CLDR for en-US. Thus, we already
returned the end value of "one".
This is a normative change in the Intl.NumberFormat V3 spec. See:
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-intl-numberformat-v3/commit/23e69cf
This isn't particularly testable because every locale in the CLDR has a
non-empty "approximatelySign" field in cldr-numbers-modern. The issue
for this change seems to be considering the "miscPatterns/approximately"
field instead, which has different semantics. But as noted on the CLDR
issue https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-14918, the ICU uses
the "approximatelySign" field (as do our implementation).
It turns out return a ThrowCompletionOr<T const&> is flawed, as the GCC
expansion trick used with TRY will always make a copy. PrimitiveString
is luckily the only such use case.
This makes construction of Utf16String fallible in OOM conditions. The
immediate impact is that PrimitiveString must then be fallible as well,
as it may either transcode UTF-8 to UTF-16, or create a UTF-16 string
from ropes.
There are a couple of places where it is very non-trivial to propagate
the error further. A FIXME has been added to those locations.
This constructor was easily confused with a copy constructor, and it was
possible to accidentally copy-construct Objects in at least one way that
we dicovered (via generic ThrowCompletionOr construction).
This patch adds a mandatory ConstructWithPrototypeTag parameter to the
constructor to disambiguate it.
Note that js_rope_string() has been folded into this, the old name was
misleading - it would not always create a rope string, only if both
sides are not empty strings. Use a three-argument create() overload
instead.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Intrinsics, i.e. mostly constructor and prototype objects, but also
things like empty and new object shape now live on a new heap-allocated
JS::Intrinsics object, thus completing the long journey of taking all
the magic away from the global object.
This represents the Realm's [[Intrinsics]] slot in the spec and matches
its existing [[GlobalObject]] / [[GlobalEnv]] slots in terms of
architecture.
In the majority of cases it should now be possibly to fully allocate a
regular object without the global object existing, and in fact that's
what we do now - the realm is allocated before the global object, and
the intrinsics between both :^)
- Prefer VM::current_realm() over GlobalObject::associated_realm()
- Prefer VM::heap() over GlobalObject::heap()
- Prefer Cell::vm() over Cell::global_object()
- Prefer Wrapper::vm() over Wrapper::global_object()
- Inline Realm::global_object() calls used to access intrinsics as they
will later perform a direct lookup without going through the global
object
Instead of passing a GlobalObject everywhere, we will simply pass a VM,
from which we can get everything we need: common names, the current
realm, symbols, arguments, the heap, and a few other things.
In some places we already don't actually need a global object and just
do it for consistency - no more `auto& vm = global_object.vm();`!
This will eventually automatically fix the "wrong realm" issue we have
in some places where we (incorrectly) use the global object from the
allocating object, e.g. in call() / construct() implementations. When
only ever a VM is passed around, this issue can't happen :^)
I've decided to split this change into a series of patches that should
keep each commit down do a somewhat manageable size.
This is a continuation of the previous five commits.
A first big step into the direction of no longer having to pass a realm
(or currently, a global object) trough layers upon layers of AOs!
Unlike the create() APIs we can safely assume that this is only ever
called when a running execution context and therefore current realm
exists. If not, you can always manually allocate the Error and put it in
a Completion :^)
In the spec, throw exceptions implicitly use the current realm's
intrinsics as well: https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-throw-an-exception
This is a continuation of the previous two commits.
As allocating a JS cell already primarily involves a realm instead of a
global object, and we'll need to pass one to the allocate() function
itself eventually (it's bridged via the global object right now), the
create() functions need to receive a realm as well.
The plan is for this to be the highest-level function that actually
receives a realm and passes it around, AOs on an even higher level will
use the "current realm" concept via VM::current_realm() as that's what
the spec assumes; passing around realms (or global objects, for that
matter) on higher AO levels is pointless and unlike for allocating
individual objects, which may happen outside of regular JS execution, we
don't need control over the specific realm that is being used there.
After the Intl MV is implemented, returning a copy of the desired value
here may involve copying non-trivial data. Instead, return an enum to
indicate which decision was made.
This becomes more of an issue when implementing the Intl mathematical
value, where negative zero is treated as a special enum value. In that
case, we already previously changed the value from -0 to +0 in step 1b.
Entering the branch for step 4 will then set it back to -0.
The math that follows after these steps worked fine with both +0/-0, but
assertions will be reached in the Intl MV implementation.
These were changed to i8 while investigating the issues fixed by commit
9e50f25. When [[RoundingIncrement]] is implemented, some of these will
be invoked with [[RoundingIncrement]]'s value, which can be up to 5000.
Change these to i32, and wrap them with AK::Checked for good measure.
Also change a couple helpers that are always comparing against zero to
not need an explicit check.
