In order to prevent this commit from having to refactor almost all of
Intl, the goal here is to update the internal parsing/canonicalization
of locales within LibLocale only. Call sites which are already equiped
to handle String and OOM errors do so, however.
This constructor was easily confused with a copy constructor, and it was
possible to accidentally copy-construct Objects in at least one way that
we dicovered (via generic ThrowCompletionOr construction).
This patch adds a mandatory ConstructWithPrototypeTag parameter to the
constructor to disambiguate it.
Note that js_rope_string() has been folded into this, the old name was
misleading - it would not always create a rope string, only if both
sides are not empty strings. Use a three-argument create() overload
instead.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Intrinsics, i.e. mostly constructor and prototype objects, but also
things like empty and new object shape now live on a new heap-allocated
JS::Intrinsics object, thus completing the long journey of taking all
the magic away from the global object.
This represents the Realm's [[Intrinsics]] slot in the spec and matches
its existing [[GlobalObject]] / [[GlobalEnv]] slots in terms of
architecture.
In the majority of cases it should now be possibly to fully allocate a
regular object without the global object existing, and in fact that's
what we do now - the realm is allocated before the global object, and
the intrinsics between both :^)
Instead of passing a GlobalObject everywhere, we will simply pass a VM,
from which we can get everything we need: common names, the current
realm, symbols, arguments, the heap, and a few other things.
In some places we already don't actually need a global object and just
do it for consistency - no more `auto& vm = global_object.vm();`!
This will eventually automatically fix the "wrong realm" issue we have
in some places where we (incorrectly) use the global object from the
allocating object, e.g. in call() / construct() implementations. When
only ever a VM is passed around, this issue can't happen :^)
I've decided to split this change into a series of patches that should
keep each commit down do a somewhat manageable size.
This is a continuation of the previous three commits.
Now that create() receives the allocating realm, we can simply forward
that to allocate(), which accounts for the majority of these changes.
Additionally, we can get rid of the realm_from_global_object() in one
place, with one more remaining in VM::throw_completion().
This is a continuation of the previous two commits.
As allocating a JS cell already primarily involves a realm instead of a
global object, and we'll need to pass one to the allocate() function
itself eventually (it's bridged via the global object right now), the
create() functions need to receive a realm as well.
The plan is for this to be the highest-level function that actually
receives a realm and passes it around, AOs on an even higher level will
use the "current realm" concept via VM::current_realm() as that's what
the spec assumes; passing around realms (or global objects, for that
matter) on higher AO levels is pointless and unlike for allocating
individual objects, which may happen outside of regular JS execution, we
don't need control over the specific realm that is being used there.
Previously, LibUnicode would store the values of a keyword as a Vector.
For example, the locale "en-u-ca-abc-def" would have its keyword "ca"
stored as {"abc, "def"}. Then, canonicalization would occur on each of
the elements in that Vector.
This is incorrect because, for example, the keyword value "true" should
only be dropped if that is the entire value. That is, the canonical form
of "en-u-kb-true" is "en-u-kb", but "en-u-kb-abc-true" does not change
for canonicalization. However, we would canonicalize that locale as
"en-u-kb-abc".
