Instead of crashing on the spot, return a descriptive error that will
eventually continue its days as a javascript "InternalError" exception.
This should make random crashes with BC less likely.
This removes a number of vm.exception() checks which are now caught
directly by TRY. Make use of these checks in
{Global, Eval}DeclarationInstantiation and while we're here add spec
comments.
This is a specialized string table for storing identifiers only.
Identifiers are always FlyStrings, which makes many common operations
faster by allowing O(1) comparison.
Before this we used an ad-hoc combination of references and 'variables'
stored in a hashmap. This worked in most cases but is not spec like.
Additionally hoisting, dynamically naming functions and scope analysis
was not done properly.
This patch fixes all of that by:
- Implement BindingInitialization for destructuring assignment.
- Implementing a new ScopePusher which tracks the lexical and var
scoped declarations. This hoists functions to the top level if no
lexical declaration name overlaps. Furthermore we do checking of
redeclarations in the ScopePusher now requiring less checks all over
the place.
- Add methods for parsing the directives and statement lists instead
of having that code duplicated in multiple places. This allows
declarations to pushed to the appropriate scope more easily.
- Remove the non spec way of storing 'variables' in
DeclarativeEnvironment and make Reference follow the spec instead of
checking both the bindings and 'variables'.
- Remove all scoping related things from the Interpreter. And instead
use environments as specified by the spec. This also includes fixing
that NativeFunctions did not produce a valid FunctionEnvironment
which could cause issues with callbacks and eval. All
FunctionObjects now have a valid NewFunctionEnvironment
implementation.
- Remove execute_statements from Interpreter and instead use
ASTNode::execute everywhere this simplifies AST.cpp as you no longer
need to worry about which method to call.
- Make ScopeNodes setup their own environment. This uses four
different methods specified by the spec
{Block, Function, Eval, Global}DeclarationInstantiation with the
annexB extensions.
- Implement and use NamedEvaluation where specified.
Additionally there are fixes to things exposed by these changes to eval,
{for, for-in, for-of} loops and assignment.
Finally it also fixes some tests in test-js which where passing before
but not now that we have correct behavior :^).
The parser doesn't always track lexical scopes correctly, so let's not
rely on that for direct argument loading.
This reverts the LoadArguments bytecode instruction as well. We can
bring these things back when the parser can reliably tell us that
a given Identifier is indeed a function argument.
This patch makes the following name changes:
- ScopeObject => EnvironmentRecord
- LexicalEnvironment => DeclarativeEnvironmentRecord
- WithScope => ObjectEnvironmentRecord
This commit implements parsing for `yield *expr`, and the multiple
ways something can or can't be parsed like that.
Also makes yield-from a TODO in the bytecode generator.
Behold, the glory of javascript syntax:
```js
// 'yield' = expression in generators.
function* foo() {
yield
*bar; // <- Syntax error here, expression can't start with *
}
// 'yield' = identifier anywhere else.
function foo() {
yield
*bar; // Perfectly fine, this is just `yield * bar`
}
```
This is generated for Identifier nodes that represent a function
argument variable. It loads a given argument index from the current
call frame into the accumulator.
This patch adds a CallType to the Bytecode::Op::Call instruction,
which can be either Call or Construct. We then generate Construct
calls for the NewExpression AST node.
When executed, these get fed into VM::construct().
This adds a new PushLexicalEnvironment instruction that creates a new
LexicalEnvironment and pushes it on the VM's scope stack.
There is no corresponding PopLexicalEnvironment instruction yet,
so this will behave incorrectly with let/const scopes for example.
This replaces Bytecode::Op::EnterScope with a new NewFunction op that
instantiates a ScriptFunction from a given FunctionNode (AST).
This is then used to instantiate the local functions directly from
bytecode when entering a ScopeNode. :^)
These will be partly handled by the relevant ScopeNode due to
hoisting, same basic idea as function declarations.
VariableDeclaration needs to do some work, but let's stub it out
first and start empty.
EnterUnwindContext pushes an unwind context (exception handler and/or
finalizer) onto a stack.
LeaveUnwindContext pops the unwind context from that stack.
Upon return to the interpreter loop we check whether the VM has an
exception pending. If no unwind context is available we return from the
loop. If an exception handler is available we clear the VM's exception,
put the exception value into the accumulator register, clear the unwind
context's handler and jump to the handler. If no handler is available
but a finalizer is available we save the exception value + metadata (for
later use by ContinuePendingUnwind), clear the VM's exception, pop the
unwind context and jump to the finalizer.
ContinuePendingUnwind checks whether a saved exception is available. If
no saved exception is available it jumps to the resume label. Otherwise
it stores the exception into the VM.
The Jump after LeaveUnwindContext could be integrated into the
LeaveUnwindContext instruction. I've kept them separate for now to make
the bytecode more readable.
