Previously, the Object class had many different types of functions for
each action. For example: get_by_index, get(PropertyName),
get(FlyString). This is a bit verbose, so these methods have been
shortened to simply use the PropertyName structure. The methods then
internally call _by_index if necessary. Note that the _by_index
have been made private to enforce this change.
Secondly, a clear distinction has been made between "putting" and
"defining" an object property. "Putting" should mean modifying a
(potentially) already existing property. This is akin to doing "a.b =
'foo'".
This implies two things about put operations:
- They will search the prototype chain for setters and call them, if
necessary.
- If no property exists with a particular key, the put operation
should create a new property with the default attributes
(configurable, writable, and enumerable).
In contrast, "defining" a property should completely overwrite any
existing value without calling setters (if that property is
configurable, of course).
Thus, all of the many JS objects have had any "put" calls changed to
"define_property" calls. Additionally, "put_native_function" and
"put_native_property" have had their "put" replaced with "define".
Finally, "put_own_property" has been made private, as all necessary
functionality should be exposed with the put and define_property
methods.
This patch adds instance, constructor and prototype classes for:
- EvalError
- InternalError
- RangeError
- ReferenceError
- SyntaxError
- TypeError
- URIError
Enumerator macros are used to reduce the amount of typing. :^)
This patch adds very basic XMLHttpRequest support to LibWeb. Here's an
example that currently works:
var callback = function() { alert(this.responseText); }
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.addEventListener("load", callback);
xhr.open("GET", "http://serenityos.org/~kling/test/example.txt");
xhr.send();
There are many limitations and bugs, but it's pretty dang awesome that
we have XHR. :^)
LibWeb now creates a WindowObject which inherits from GlobalObject.
Allocation of the global object is moved out of the Interpreter ctor
to allow for specialized construction.
The existing Window interfaces are moved to WindowObject with their
implementation code in the new Window class.
Instead of implementing every native function as a lambda function,
use static member functions instead.
This makes it easier to navigate the code + backtraces look nicer. :^)
