Instead of allocating these in a mixture of ways, we now always put
them on the malloc heap, and keep an intrusive linked list of them
that we can iterate for GC marking purposes.
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.
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
A struct with three raw pointers to other GC'd types is a pretty big
liability, let's just turn this into a Cell itself.
This comes with the additional benefit of being able to capture it in
a lambda effortlessly, without having to create handles for individual
members.
The hard part of parsing them in import statements and calls was already
done so this is just removing some check which threw before on
assertions. And filtering the assertions based on the result of a new
host hook.
This also refactors interpreter creation to follow
InitializeHostDefinedRealm, but I couldn't fit it in the title :^)
This allows us to follow the spec much more closely rather than being
completely ad-hoc with just the parse node instead of having all the
surrounding data such as the realm of the parse node.
The interpreter creation refactor creates the global execution context
once and doesn't take it off the stack. This allows LibWeb to take the
global execution context and manually handle it, following the HTML
spec. The HTML spec calls this the "realm execution context" of the
environment settings object.
It also allows us to specify the globalThis type, as it can be
different from the global object type. For example, on the web, Window
global objects use a WindowProxy global this value to enforce the same
origin policy on operations like [[GetOwnProperty]].
Finally, it allows us to directly call Program::execute in perform_eval
and perform_shadow_realm_eval as this moves
global_declaration_instantiation into Interpreter::run
(ScriptEvaluation) as per the spec.
Note that this doesn't evalulate Source Text Modules yet or refactor
the bytecode interpreter, that's work for future us :^)
This patch was originally build by Luke for the environment settings
object change but was also needed for modules. So I (davidot) have
modified it with the new completion changes and setup for that.
