The spec defines a StringToBigInt AO which allows for converting binary,
octal, decimal, and hexadecimal strings to a BigInt. Our conversion was
only allowing for decimal strings.
For example, say you try to create a Value from an Array and forgot to
include LibJS/Runtime/Array.h. This would cause the boolean constructor
to be used instead of a compile error.
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
Instead of returning JS::StringOrSymbol, which is a space-optimized type
used in Shape property tables, this now returns JS::PropertyKey which is
*not* space-optimized, but has other niceties like optimized storage of
numeric ("indexed") properties.
This concept is not present in ECMAScript, and it bothers me every time
I see it.
It's only used by WrapperGenerator, and even there only relevant in two
places, so let's fully remove it from LibJS and use a simple ternary
expression instead:
cpp_name = js_name.is_null() && legacy_null_to_empty_string
? String::empty()
: js_name.to_string(global_object);
This commit does not go out of its way to reduce copying of the string
data yet, but is a minimum set of changes to compile LibJS after making
PrimitiveString hold a Utf16String.
This is a tiny difference and only changes anything for primitives in
strict mode. However this is tested in test262 and can be noticed by
overriding toString of primitive values.
This does now require one to wrap an object in a Value to call invoke
but all code using invoke has been migrated.
LibJS parses JavaScript as UTF-8, so when creating a string, we must
transcode it to UTF-16 to handle encoded surrogate pairs.
For example, consider the following string:
"\ud83d\ude00"
The UTF-8 encoding of this surrogate pair is:
0xf0 0x9f 0x98 0x80
However, LibJS will currently store the two surrogates individually as
UTF-8 encoded bytes, rather than combining the pair:
0xed 0xa0 0xb8, 0xed 0xb8 0x80
These are not equivalent. So, as String.prototype becomes UTF-16 aware,
this encoding will no longer work for abstractions like strict equality.
These were an ad-hoc way to implement special behaviour when reading or
writing to specific object properties. Because these were effectively
replaced by the abillity to override the internal methods of Object,
they are no longer needed.
This was a standalone function previously (get_method()), but instead of
passing a Value to it, we can just make it a method.
Also add spec step comments and fix the receiver value by using GetV().
