This patch adds two macros to declare per-type allocators:
- JS_DECLARE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
- JS_DEFINE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
When used, they add a type-specific CellAllocator that the Heap will
delegate allocation requests to.
The result of this is that GC objects of the same type always end up
within the same HeapBlock, drastically reducing the ability to perform
type confusion attacks.
It also improves HeapBlock utilization, since each block now has cells
sized exactly to the type used within that block. (Previously we only
had a handful of block sizes available, and most GC allocations ended
up with a large amount of slack in their tails.)
There is a small performance hit from this, but I'm sure we can make
up for it elsewhere.
Note that the old size-based allocators still exist, and we fall back
to them for any type that doesn't have its own CellAllocator.
This is a normative change in the ECMA-402 spec. See:
https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/commit/02bd03a
This is observable just due to reading the properties one less time. It
would have been possible for e.g. the property values to change between
those invocations.
That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
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 :^)
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.
There was an awful lot of JS::Value <-> double conversion going on, even
through these AOs only work with number values anyway.
They don't need a global object either as they won't allocate or throw,
that was simply to pass it to infallible calls of ToIntegerOrInfinity.
There are a few FIXMEs that will need to be addressed, but this
implements most of the prototype method. The FIXMEs are mostly related
to range formatting, which has been entirely ignored so far. But other
than that, the following will need to be addressed:
* Determining flexible day periods must be made locale-aware.
* DST will need to be determined and acted upon.
* Time zones other than UTC and calendars other than Gregorian are
ignored.
* Some of our results differ from other engines as they have some
format patterns we do not. For example, they seem to have a lonely
{dayPeriod} pattern, whereas our closest pattern is
"{hour} {dayPeriod}".
Unlike the locale, the data locale has Unicode locale extensions removed
(e.g. the data locale for "en-US-u-ca-gregory" is just "en-US"). Cache
the data locale for LibUnicode lookups during formatting.
This adds plumbing for the Intl.DateTimeFormat object, constructor, and
prototype.
Note that unlike other Intl objects, the Intl.DateTimeFormat object has
a LibUnicode structure as a base. This is to prevent wild amounts of
code duplication between LibUnicode, Intl.DateTimeFormat, and other
not-yet-defined Intl structures, because there's 12 fields shared
between them.
