It also opens the door for some more Promise related refactors.
This was resulting in a whole lot of rebuilding whenever a new IDL
interface was added.
Instead, just directly include the prototype in every C++ file which
needs it. While we only really need a forward declaration in each cpp
file; including the full prototype header (which itself only includes
LibJS/Object.h, which is already transitively brought in by
PlatformObject) - it seems like a small price to pay compared to what
feels like a full rebuild of LibWeb whenever a new IDL file is added.
Given all of these includes are only needed for the ::initialize
method, there is probably a smart way of avoiding this problem
altogether. I've considered both using some macro trickery or generating
these functions somehow instead.
This commit introduces a WEB_SET_PROTOTYPE_FOR_INTERFACE macro that
caches the interface name in a local static FlyString. This means that
we only pay for FlyString-from-literal lookup once per browser lifetime
instead of every time the interface is instantiated.
With this change, we now have ~1200 CellAllocators across both LibJS and
LibWeb in a normal WebContent instance.
This gives us a minimum heap size of 4.7 MiB in the scenario where we
only have one cell allocated per type. Of course, in practice there will
be many more of each type, so the effective overhead is quite a bit
smaller than that in practice.
I left a few types unconverted to this mechanism because I got tired of
doing this. :^)
Stop worrying about tiny OOMs. Work towards #20449.
While going through these, I also changed the function signature in many
places where returning ThrowCompletionOr<T> is no longer necessary.
This ports MouseEvent, UIEvent, WheelEvent, and Event to new String.
They all had a dependency to T::create() in
WebDriverConnection::fire_an_event() and therefore had to be ported in
the same commit.
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.
This needs to happen before prototype/constructor intitialization can be
made lazy. Otherwise, GC could run during the C++ constructor and try to
collect the object currently being created.
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
Unlike ensure_web_prototype<T>(), the cached version doesn't require the
prototype type to be fully formed, so we can use it without including
the FooPrototype.h header. It's also a bit less verbose. :^)
This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
