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 :^)
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.
In a subclass of Cell, we cannot use Cell::vm() before the base Cell
object itself is constructed. Use the Realm's VM instead.
This was caught by UBSAN with vptr sanitation enabled.
Intrinsics, i.e. mostly constructor and prototype objects, but also
things like empty and new object shape now live on a new heap-allocated
JS::Intrinsics object, thus completing the long journey of taking all
the magic away from the global object.
This represents the Realm's [[Intrinsics]] slot in the spec and matches
its existing [[GlobalObject]] / [[GlobalEnv]] slots in terms of
architecture.
In the majority of cases it should now be possibly to fully allocate a
regular object without the global object existing, and in fact that's
what we do now - the realm is allocated before the global object, and
the intrinsics between both :^)
This is needed so that the allocated NativeFunction receives the correct
realm, usually forwarded from the Object's initialize() function, rather
than using the current realm.
This is a continuation of the previous six commits.
The global object is only needed to return it if the execution context
stack is empty, but that doesn't seem like a useful thing to allow in
the first place - if you're not currently executing JS, and the
execution context stack is empty, there is no this value to retrieve.
This is a continuation of the previous five commits.
A first big step into the direction of no longer having to pass a realm
(or currently, a global object) trough layers upon layers of AOs!
Unlike the create() APIs we can safely assume that this is only ever
called when a running execution context and therefore current realm
exists. If not, you can always manually allocate the Error and put it in
a Completion :^)
In the spec, throw exceptions implicitly use the current realm's
intrinsics as well: https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-throw-an-exception
This is a continuation of the previous three commits.
Now that create() receives the allocating realm, we can simply forward
that to allocate(), which accounts for the majority of these changes.
Additionally, we can get rid of the realm_from_global_object() in one
place, with one more remaining in VM::throw_completion().
This is a continuation of the previous two commits.
As allocating a JS cell already primarily involves a realm instead of a
global object, and we'll need to pass one to the allocate() function
itself eventually (it's bridged via the global object right now), the
create() functions need to receive a realm as well.
The plan is for this to be the highest-level function that actually
receives a realm and passes it around, AOs on an even higher level will
use the "current realm" concept via VM::current_realm() as that's what
the spec assumes; passing around realms (or global objects, for that
matter) on higher AO levels is pointless and unlike for allocating
individual objects, which may happen outside of regular JS execution, we
don't need control over the specific realm that is being used there.
This is a continuation of the previous commit.
Calling initialize() is the first thing that's done after allocating a
cell on the JS heap - and in the common case of allocating an object,
that's where properties are assigned and intrinsics occasionally
accessed.
Since those are supposed to live on the realm eventually, this is
another step into that direction.
No functional changes - we can still very easily get to the global
object via `Realm::global_object()`. This is in preparation of moving
the intrinsics to the realm and no longer having to pass a global
object when allocating any object.
In a few (now, and many more in subsequent commits) places we get a
realm using `GlobalObject::associated_realm()`, this is intended to be
temporary. For example, create() functions will later receive the same
treatment and are passed a realm instead of a global object.
This commit removes all exception related code:
Remove VM::exception(), VM::throw_exception() etc. Any leftover
throw_exception calls are moved to throw_completion.
The one method left is clear_exception() which is now a no-op. Most of
these calls are just to clear whatever exception might have been thrown
when handling a Completion. So to have a cleaner commit this will be
removed in a next commit.
It also removes the actual Exception and TemporaryClearException classes
since these are no longer used.
In any spot where the exception was actually used an attempt was made to
preserve that behavior. However since it is no longer tracked by the VM
we cannot access exceptions which were thrown in previous calls.
There are two such cases which might have different behavior:
- In Web::DOM::Document::interpreter() the on_call_stack_emptied hook
used to print any uncaught exception but this is now no longer
possible as the VM does not store uncaught exceptions.
- In js the code used to be interruptable by throwing an exception on
the VM. This is no longer possible but was already somewhat fragile
before as you could happen to throw an exception just before a VERIFY.
Instead of using plain objects as Iterator records, causes confusion
about the object itself actually being its [[Iterator]] slot, and
requires non-standard type conversion shenanigans fpr the [[NextValue]]
and [[Done]] internal slots, implement a proper Iterator record struct
and use it throughout.
Also annotate the remaining Iterator AOs with spec comments while we're
here.
This includes:
- Parsing proper LabelledStatements with try_parse_labelled_statement()
- Removing LabelableStatement
- Implementing the LoopEvaluation semantics via loop_evaluation() in
each IterationStatement subclass; and IterationStatement evaluation
via {For,ForIn,ForOf,ForAwaitOf,While,DoWhile}Statement::execute()
- Updating ReturnStatement, BreakStatement and ContinueStatement to
return the appropriate completion types
- Basically reimplementing TryStatement and SwitchStatement according to
the spec, using completions
- Honoring result completion types in AsyncBlockStart and
OrdinaryCallEvaluateBody
- Removing any uses of the VM unwind mechanism - most importantly,
VM::throw_exception() now exclusively sets an exception and no longer
triggers any unwinding mechanism.
However, we already did a good job updating all of LibWeb and userland
applications to not use it, and the few remaining uses elsewhere don't
rely on unwinding AFAICT.
I wanted to do this for a long time. The guts of Promise are pretty
complex, and it's easier to understand with the spec right next to it.
Also found a couple of issues along the way :^)
GNU statement expressions fit the definition of IfAbruptRejectPromise
rather nicely, where we need to reject the failed promise (and return
the failed promise itself) on failure, and otherwise store a value on
success.
This is a bit ugly because, rather than simply wrapping the invocation
to GetPromiseResolve with TRY(), we have to invoke the promise's reject
method with any error. But this will be a bit cleaner in a subsequent
commit to change how IfAbruptRejectPromise is invoked.
Both at the same time because many of them call construct() in call()
and I'm not keen on adding a bunch of temporary plumbing to turn
exceptions into throw completions.
Also changes the return value of construct() to Object* instead of Value
as it always needs to return an object; allowing an arbitrary Value is a
massive foot gun.
The old versions were renamed to JS_DECLARE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION and
JS_DEFINE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION, and will be eventually removed once all
native functions were converted to the new format.
