These passes have not been shown to actually optimize any JS, and tests
have become very flaky with optimizations enabled. Until some measurable
benefit is shown, remove the optimization passes to reduce overhead of
maintaining bytecode operations and to reduce CI churn. The framework
for optimizations will live on in git history, and can be restored once
proven useful.
The JS::VM now owns the one Bytecode::Interpreter. We no longer have
multiple bytecode interpreters, and there is no concept of a "current"
bytecode interpreter.
If you ask for VM::bytecode_interpreter_if_exists(), it will return null
if we're not running the program in "bytecode enabled" mode.
If you ask for VM::bytecode_interpreter(), it will return a bytecode
interpreter in all modes. This is used for situations where even the AST
interpreter switches to bytecode mode (generators, etc.)
Don't try to implement this AO in bytecode. Instead, the bytecode
Interpreter class now has a run() API with the same inputs as the AST
interpreter. It sets up the necessary environments etc, including
invoking the GlobalDeclarationInstantiation AO.
Similar to POSIX read, the basic read and write functions of AK::Stream
do not have a lower limit of how much data they read or write (apart
from "none at all").
Rename the functions to "read some [data]" and "write some [data]" (with
"data" being omitted, since everything here is reading and writing data)
to make them sufficiently distinct from the functions that ensure to
use the entire buffer (which should be the go-to function for most
usages).
No functional changes, just a lot of new FIXMEs.
Instead of just calling JS::Value::to_string_without_side_effects() when
printing values to the console, have all the console clients use
the same JS::Print that the REPL does to print values.
This method leaves some things to be desired as far as OOM hardening
goes, however. We should be able to create a String in a way that
doesn't OOM on failure so hard.
Previously, we only saved the REPL history when the interpreter was
shutdown with a signal. This change ensures that we save the history
when a user uses `exit()`.
This includes an Error::create overload to create an Error from a UTF-8
StringView. If creating a String from that view fails, the factory will
return an OOM InternalError instead. VM::throw_completion can also make
use of this overload via its perfect forwarding.
`Stream` will be qualified as `AK::Stream` until we remove the
`Core::Stream` namespace. `IODevice` now reuses the `SeekMode` that is
defined by `SeekableStream`, since defining its own would require us to
qualify it with `AK::SeekMode` everywhere.
Note that as of this commit, there aren't any such throwers, and the
call site in Heap::allocate will drop exceptions on the floor. This
commit only serves to change the declaration of the overrides, make sure
they return an empty value, and to propagate OOM errors frm their base
initialize invocations.
Having an alias function that only wraps another one is silly, and
keeping the more obvious name should flush out more uses of deprecated
strings.
No behavior change.
This generally seems like a better name, especially if we somehow also
need a better name for "read the entire buffer, but not the entire file"
somewhere down the line.
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.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
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 :^)
And make it capable of printing to any Core::Stream.
This is useful on its own and can be used in a number of places, so move
it out and make it available as JS::print().
Previously we would disable console debug messages on all non Serenity
platforms as it caused double printing on lagom `js`. This patch limits
this to the `js` utility, allowing LibWeb to print debug messages
regardless of the operating system :^)
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 :^)
The basic idea is that a global object cannot just come out of nowhere,
it must be associated to a realm - so get it from there, if needed.
This is to enforce the changes from all the previous commits by not
handing out global objects unless you actually have an initialized
realm (either stored somewhere, or the VM's current realm).
- Prefer VM::current_realm() over GlobalObject::associated_realm()
- Prefer VM::heap() over GlobalObject::heap()
- Prefer Cell::vm() over Cell::global_object()
- Prefer Wrapper::vm() over Wrapper::global_object()
- Inline Realm::global_object() calls used to access intrinsics as they
will later perform a direct lookup without going through the global
object
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.
Global object initialization is tightly coupled to realm creation, so
simply pass it to the function instead of relying on the non-standard
'associated realm' concept, which I'd like to remove later.
This works essentially the same way as regular Object::initialize() now.
Additionally this allows us to forward the realm to GlobalObject's
add_constructor() / initialize_constructor() helpers, so they set the
correct realm on the allocated constructor function object.
