The spec version of canonical_numeric_index_string is absurdly complex,
and ends up converting from a string to a number, and then back again
which is both slow and also requires a few allocations and a string
compare.
Instead this patch moves away from using Values to represent canonical
a canonical index. In most cases all we need to know is whether a
PropertyKey is an integer between 0 and 2^^32-2, which we already
compute when we construct a PropertyKey so the existing is_number()
check is sufficient.
The more expensive case is handling strings containing numbers that
don't roundtrip through string conversion. In most cases these turn
into regular string properties, but for TypedArray access these
property names are not treated as normal named properties.
TypedArrays treat these numeric properties as magic indexes that are
ignored on read and are not stored (but are evaluated) on assignment.
For that reason there's now a mode flag on canonical_numeric_index_string
so that only TypedArrays take the cost of the ToString round trip test.
In order to improve the performance of this path this patch includes
some early returns to avoid conversion in cases where we can quickly
know whether a property can round trip.
This reverts commit 3a184f7841.
This broke a number of test262 tests under "TypedArrayConstructors".
The issue is that the CanonicalNumericIndexString AO should not fail
for inputs like "1.1", despite them not being integral indices.
When performing GetValue on a primitive type we do not need to perform
the ToObject conversion as it will resolve to a property on the
prototype object.
To avoid this we skip the initial ToObject conversion on the base value
as it only serves to get the primitive's boxed prototype. We further
specialize on PrimitiveString in order to get efficient behaviour
behaviour for the direct properties.
Depending on the tests anywhere from 20 to 60%, with significant loop
overhead.
VM now has a string cache which tracks all live PrimitiveStrings and
reuses an existing one if possible. This drastically reduces the number
of GC-allocated strings in many real-word situations.
This commit does not go out of its way to reduce copying of the string
data yet, but is a minimum set of changes to compile LibJS after making
PrimitiveString hold a Utf16String.
PrimitiveString may currently only be created with a UTF-8 string, and
it transcodes on the fly when a UTF-16 string is needed. Allow creating
a PrimitiveString from a UTF-16 string to avoid unnecessary transcoding
when the caller only wants UTF-16.
Rather than deferring this decoding to PrimitiveString, we can decode
surrogate pairs when parsing the string. This prevents a string copy
when constructing the PrimitiveString.
LibJS parses JavaScript as UTF-8, so when creating a string, we must
transcode it to UTF-16 to handle encoded surrogate pairs.
For example, consider the following string:
"\ud83d\ude00"
The UTF-8 encoding of this surrogate pair is:
0xf0 0x9f 0x98 0x80
However, LibJS will currently store the two surrogates individually as
UTF-8 encoded bytes, rather than combining the pair:
0xed 0xa0 0xb8, 0xed 0xb8 0x80
These are not equivalent. So, as String.prototype becomes UTF-16 aware,
this encoding will no longer work for abstractions like strict equality.
