Since VM::exception() no longer exists this is now useless. All of these
calls to clear_exception were just to clear the VM state after some
(potentially) failed evaluation and did not use the exception itself.
In the end this is a nicer API than having separate has_{value,target}()
and having to check those first, and then making another Optional from
the unwrapped value:
completion.has_value() ? completion.value() : Optional<Value> {}
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
// Implicit creation of non-empty Optional<Value>
This way we need to unwrap the optional ourselves, but can easily pass
it to something else as well.
This is in anticipation of the AST using completions :^)
Both at the same time because many of them call construct() in call()
and I'm not keen on adding a bunch of temporary plumbing to turn
exceptions into throw completions.
Also changes the return value of construct() to Object* instead of Value
as it always needs to return an object; allowing an arbitrary Value is a
massive foot gun.
The old versions were renamed to JS_DECLARE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION and
JS_DEFINE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION, and will be eventually removed once all
native functions were converted to the new format.
...by replacing it with a ctor that takes the buffer instead, and
handling the allocation failure in ArrayBuffer::create(size_t) by
throwing a RangeError as specified by the spec.
This removes all usages of the non-standard define_property helper
method and replaces all it's usages with the specification required
alternative or with define_direct_property where appropriate.
This makes the implicit run-time assertion in PropertyName::to_string()
into an explicit compile-time requirement, removes a wasteful FlyString
-> PropertyName -> FlyString construction from NativeFunction::create()
and allows setting the function name to a null string for anonymous
native functions.
Requires a bunch of find-and-replace updates across LibJS, but
constructing a PropertyName from a nullptr Symbol* should not be
possible - let's enforce this at the compiler level instead of using
VERIFY() (and already dereference Symbol pointers at the call site).
As mentioned on Discord earlier, we'll add these to all new functions
going forward - this is the backfill. Reasons:
- It makes you look at the spec, implementing based on MDN or V8
behavior is a no-go
- It makes finding the various functions that are non-compliant easier,
in the future everything should either have such a comment or, if it's
not from the spec at all, a comment explaining why that is the case
- It makes it easier to check whether a certain abstract operation is
implemented in LibJS, not all of them use the same name as the spec.
E.g. RejectPromise() is Promise::reject()
- It makes it easier to reason about vm.arguments(), e.g. when the
function has a rest parameter
- It makes it easier to see whether a certain function is from a
proposal or Annex B
Also:
- Add arguments to all functions and abstract operations that already
had a comment
- Fix some outdated section numbers
- Replace some ecma-international.org URLs with tc39.es
Non-RangeError exceptions can be thrown by user implementations of
valueOf (which are called by to_index), and the specification disallows
changing the type of the thrown error.
