The dollar sign is a special character in POSIX shells and in the Ninja
build file format. If the file name contains a `$`, something goes wrong
in the escaping/unescaping of this symbol, and CMake/GCC/Clang generate
invalid dependency files where not all instances of `$` are escaped
properly. Because of this, Ninja fails to rebuild `$262Object.cpp` if
the headers included by it have changed.
Stale `$262Object.cpp.o` files have been the cause of mysterious crashes
multiple times which only go away after doing a clean build. Let's
prevent these from happening again by removing the `$` from the
filename.
Note that as of this commit, there aren't any such throwers, and the
call site in Heap::allocate will drop exceptions on the floor. This
commit only serves to change the declaration of the overrides, make sure
they return an empty value, and to propagate OOM errors frm their base
initialize invocations.
Global object initialization is tightly coupled to realm creation, so
simply pass it to the function instead of relying on the non-standard
'associated realm' concept, which I'd like to remove later.
This works essentially the same way as regular Object::initialize() now.
Additionally this allows us to forward the realm to GlobalObject's
add_constructor() / initialize_constructor() helpers, so they set the
correct realm on the allocated constructor function object.
This commit upstreams most of the C++ bits of the LibJS test262 runner
at https://github.com/linusg/libjs-test262/, specifically everything but
the main.cpp file serving as the actual executable.
Since all of these are just regular JS objects, I opted to put them in
LibJS itself, in a new Contrib/ directory like many other projects have
one. Other code that can end up there in the future is the runtime for
esvu, which might even share some functionality with test262's $262
object.
The code has been copied verbatim, and only a small number of changes
have been made:
- Putting everything into the JS::Test262 namespace
- Removing now redundant JS namespace prefixes
- Updating includes to use absolute <LibJS/...> paths
- Updating the SPDX-License-Identifier comments from MIT to BSD-2-Clause
I gained permission to change the license and upstream these changes
from all the major contributors to this code: Ali, Andrew, David, Idan.
The removal of the code from the source repository is here:
https://github.com/linusg/libjs-test262/pull/54
This is only the first step, the goal is to eventually upstream the
actual libjs-test262-runner executable and supporting Python scripts
into SerenityOS as well.
