The interpreter now has an "underscore is last value" flag, which makes
Interpreter::get_variable() return the last value if:
- The m_underscore_is_last_value flag is enabled
- The name of the variable lookup is "_"
- The result of that lookup is an empty value
That means "_" can still be used as a regular variable and will stop
doing its magic once anything is assigned to it.
Example REPL session:
> 1
1
> _ + _
2
> _ + _
4
> _ = "foo"
"foo"
> 1
1
> _
"foo"
> delete _
true
> 1
1
> _
1

Objects should get the GlobalObject from themselves instead. However,
it's not yet available during construction so this only switches code
that happens after construction.
To support multiple global objects, Interpreter needs to stop holding
on to "the" global object and let each object graph own their global.
We need to move towards supporting multiple global objects, which will
be a large refactoring. To keep it manageable, let's do it in steps,
starting with giving Object a way to find the GlobalObject it lives
inside by asking its Shape for it.
This makes them a bit more compact and improves consistency as
to_boolean() and to_number() already use this style as well.
Also re-order the types to match the table in the spec document.
This adds regex parsing/lexing, as well as a relatively empty
RegExpObject. The purpose of this patch is to allow the engine to not
get hung up on parsing regexes. This will aid in finding new syntax
errors (say, from google or twitter) without having to replace all of
their regexes first!
Includes all traps except the following: [[Call]], [[Construct]],
[[OwnPropertyKeys]].
An important implication of this commit is that any call to any virtual
Object method has the potential to throw an exception. These methods
were not checked in this commit -- a future commit will have to protect
these various method calls throughout the codebase.
This new struct is now returned from get_own_property_descriptor. To
preserve the old functionality of returning an object, there is now a
get_own_property_descriptor_object method, for use in
{Object,Reflect}.getOwnPropertyDescriptor().
This change will be useful for the implementation of Proxies, which do a
lot of descriptor checks. We want to avoid as many object gets and puts
as possible.
When calling Object.defineProperty, there is now a difference between
omitting a descriptor attribute and specifying that it is false. For
example, "{}" and "{ configurable: false }" will have different
attribute values.
This patch adds function declaration hoisting. The mechanism
is similar to var hoisting. Hoisted function declarations are to be put
before the hoisted var declarations, hence they have to be treated
separately.
Having these duplicated is not really useful, either we want console
output to go somewhere then implementing a console client is the way to
go, or we don't care about console output - in that case we don't need
to dbg() either.
Object::set_prototype() now returns a boolean indicating success.
Setting the prototype to an identical object is always considered
successful, even if the object is non-extensible.
When parsing JavaScript, we can get pretty much any sequnce of tokens,
and we shouldn't crash if it's not something that we normally expect.
Instead, emit syntax errors.
In C++, it's invalid to cast a block of memory to a complex type without
invoking its constructor. It's even more invalid to simply cast a pointer to a
block of memory to a pointer to *an abstract type*.
To fix this, make sure FreelistEntry is a concrete type, and call its
constructor whenever appropriate.
This rewrite drastically increases the accuracy of object literals.
Additionally, an "assertIsSyntaxError" function has been added to
test-common.js to assist in testing syntax errors.
