Instead of spawning these processes from the WebContent process, we now
create them in the Browser chrome.
Part 1/N of "all processes are owned by the chrome".
This aligns Workers and Window and MessagePorts to all use the same
mechanism for transferring serialized messages across realms.
It also allows transferring more message ports into a worker.
Re-enable the Worker-echo test, as none of the MessagePort tests have
themselves been flaky, and those are now using the same underlying
implementation.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
With this change, we now have ~1200 CellAllocators across both LibJS and
LibWeb in a normal WebContent instance.
This gives us a minimum heap size of 4.7 MiB in the scenario where we
only have one cell allocated per type. Of course, in practice there will
be many more of each type, so the effective overhead is quite a bit
smaller than that in practice.
I left a few types unconverted to this mechanism because I got tired of
doing this. :^)
We now create a WorkerAgent for the parent context, which is currently
only a Window. Note that Workers can have Workers per the spec.
The WorkerAgent spawns a WebWorker process to hold the actual
script execution of the Worker. This is modeled with the
DedicatedWorkerHost object in the WebWorker process.
A start_dedicated_worker IPC method in the WebWorker IPC creates the
WorkerHost object. Future different worker types may use different IPC
messages to create their WorkerHost instance.
This implementation cannot yet postMessage between the parent and the
child processes.
