This concept is not present in ECMAScript, and it bothers me every time
I see it.
It's only used by WrapperGenerator, and even there only relevant in two
places, so let's fully remove it from LibJS and use a simple ternary
expression instead:
cpp_name = js_name.is_null() && legacy_null_to_empty_string
? String::empty()
: js_name.to_string(global_object);
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.
This is a tiny difference and only changes anything for primitives in
strict mode. However this is tested in test262 and can be noticed by
overriding toString of primitive values.
This does now require one to wrap an object in a Value to call invoke
but all code using invoke has been migrated.
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.
These were an ad-hoc way to implement special behaviour when reading or
writing to specific object properties. Because these were effectively
replaced by the abillity to override the internal methods of Object,
they are no longer needed.
This was a standalone function previously (get_method()), but instead of
passing a Value to it, we can just make it a method.
Also add spec step comments and fix the receiver value by using GetV().
Like Get(), but with any value instead of an object - it's calling
ToObject() for us and passes the value to [[Get]]() as the receiver.
This will be used in GetMethod() (and a couple of other places, which
can be updated over time).
I also tried something new here: adding the three steps from the spec as
inline comments :^)
Value.{cpp,h} has become a dumping ground, let's change that.
Things that are directly related to Values (e.g. bitwise/binary ops,
equality related functions) can remain, but everything else that's not a
Value or Object method and globally required (not just a static function
somewhere) is being moved.
Also convert to east-const while we're here.
I haven't touched IteratorOperations.{cpp,h}, it seems fine to still
have those separately.
This will allow us to use these traits for other hash-based containers
(like Map). This commit also adds a special case for negative zero
values, because while the equality check used same_value_zero which is
negative/positive zero insensitive, the hash was not.
The second argument (the default constructor) and the return value have
to be constructors (as a result functions), so we can require that
explicitly by using appropriate types.
We already have two separate implementations of this, so let's do it
properly. The optional value type check is done by a callback function
that returns Result<void, ErrorType> - value type accepted or message
for TypeError, that is.
This was missing from Value::is_array(), which is equivalent to the
spec's IsArray() abstract operation - it treats a Proxy value with an
Array target object as being an Array.
It can throw, so needs both the global object and an exception check
now.
