Note that js_rope_string() has been folded into this, the old name was
misleading - it would not always create a rope string, only if both
sides are not empty strings. Use a three-argument create() overload
instead.
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 :^)
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 :^)
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.
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.
Intl.NumberFormat is meant to format both Number and BigInt types. To
prepare for formatting BigInt types, this generalizes our NumberFormat
implementation to operate on Value instances rather than doubles. All
arithmetic is moved to static helpers that can now be updated with
BigInt semantics.
There is quite a lot to be done here so this is just a first pass at
number formatting. Decimal and percent formatting are mostly working,
but only for standard and compact notation (engineering and scientific
notation are not implemented here). Currency formatting is parsed, but
there is more work to be done to handle e.g. using symbols instead of
currency codes ("$" instead of "USD"), and putting spaces around the
currency symbol ("USD 2.00" instead of "USD2.00").
