This loads modules with relative paths from the referencing module.
In this commit the only way to run a module is via the interpreter
which can link and evaluate a module (and all its dependencies).
test-js crashes with a segmentation fault when running on macOS on Arm.
Increasing the margin in the test in did_reach_stack_space_limit() to
32 * KiB makes the tests pass. To simplify the code, this is applied
independently of platform, and the previous test for use of an address
sanitizer is removed.
Instead of using plain objects as Iterator records, causes confusion
about the object itself actually being its [[Iterator]] slot, and
requires non-standard type conversion shenanigans fpr the [[NextValue]]
and [[Done]] internal slots, implement a proper Iterator record struct
and use it throughout.
Also annotate the remaining Iterator AOs with spec comments while we're
here.
The spec has a note stating that resolve binding will always return a
reference whose [[ReferencedName]] field is name. However this is not
correct as the underlying method GetIdentifierReference may throw on
env.HasBinding(name) thus it can throw. However, there are some
scenarios where it cannot throw because the reference is known to exist
in that case we use MUST with a comment.
Now that it only needs to deal with ECMAScriptFunctionObject via
internal_call() / internal_construct(), we can:
- Remove the generic FunctionObject parameter
- Move it from the VM to ECMAScriptFunctionObject
- Make it private

This patch implements:
- Spec compliant [[Call]] and [[Construct]] internal slots, as virtual
FunctionObject::internal_{call,construct}(). These effectively replace
the old virtual FunctionObject::{call,construct}(), but with several
advantages:
- Clear and consistent naming, following the object internal methods
- Use of completions
- internal_construct() returns an Object, and not Value! This has been
a source of confusion for a long time, since in the spec there's
always an Object returned but the Value return type in LibJS meant
that this could not be fully trusted and something could screw you
over.
- Arguments are passed explicitly in form of a MarkedValueList,
allowing manipulation (BoundFunction). We still put them on the
execution context as a lot of code depends on it (VM::arguments()),
but not from the Call() / Construct() AOs anymore, which now allows
for bypassing them and invoking [[Call]] / [[Construct]] directly.
Nothing but Call() / Construct() themselves do that at the moment,
but future additions to ECMA262 or already existing web specs might.
- Spec compliant, standalone Call() and Construct() AOs: currently the
closest we have is VM::{call,construct}(), but those try to cater to
all the different function object subclasses at once, resulting in a
horrible mess and calling AOs with functions they should never be
called with; most prominently PrepareForOrdinaryCall and
OrdinaryCallBindThis, which are only for ECMAScriptFunctionObject.
As a result this also contains an implicit optimization: we no longer
need to create a new function environment for NativeFunctions - which,
worth mentioning, is what started this whole crusade in the first place
:^)
This patch introduces the "environment coordinate" concept, which
encodes the distance from a variable access to the binding it ends up
resolving to.
EnvironmentCoordinate has two fields:
- hops: The number of hops up the lexical environment chain we have
to make before getting to the resolved binding.
- index: The index of the resolved binding within its declarative
environment record.
Whenever a variable lookup resolves somewhere inside a declarative
environment, we now cache the coordinates and reuse them in subsequent
lookups. This is achieved via a coordinate cache in JS::Identifier.
Note that non-strict direct eval() breaks this optimization and so it
will not be performed if the resolved environment has been permanently
screwed by eval().
This makes variable access *significantly* faster. :^)
This will be used by LibWeb to squirrel away the stack while performing
a microtask checkpoint in some cases. VM will simply consider saved
execution context stacks as GC roots as well.
VM now has a string cache which tracks all live PrimitiveStrings and
reuses an existing one if possible. This drastically reduces the number
of GC-allocated strings in many real-word situations.
Before this we used an ad-hoc combination of references and 'variables'
stored in a hashmap. This worked in most cases but is not spec like.
Additionally hoisting, dynamically naming functions and scope analysis
was not done properly.
This patch fixes all of that by:
- Implement BindingInitialization for destructuring assignment.
- Implementing a new ScopePusher which tracks the lexical and var
scoped declarations. This hoists functions to the top level if no
lexical declaration name overlaps. Furthermore we do checking of
redeclarations in the ScopePusher now requiring less checks all over
the place.
- Add methods for parsing the directives and statement lists instead
of having that code duplicated in multiple places. This allows
declarations to pushed to the appropriate scope more easily.
- Remove the non spec way of storing 'variables' in
DeclarativeEnvironment and make Reference follow the spec instead of
checking both the bindings and 'variables'.
- Remove all scoping related things from the Interpreter. And instead
use environments as specified by the spec. This also includes fixing
that NativeFunctions did not produce a valid FunctionEnvironment
which could cause issues with callbacks and eval. All
FunctionObjects now have a valid NewFunctionEnvironment
implementation.
- Remove execute_statements from Interpreter and instead use
ASTNode::execute everywhere this simplifies AST.cpp as you no longer
need to worry about which method to call.
- Make ScopeNodes setup their own environment. This uses four
different methods specified by the spec
{Block, Function, Eval, Global}DeclarationInstantiation with the
annexB extensions.
- Implement and use NamedEvaluation where specified.
Additionally there are fixes to things exposed by these changes to eval,
{for, for-in, for-of} loops and assignment.
Finally it also fixes some tests in test-js which where passing before
but not now that we have correct behavior :^).
Since there are only a number of statements where labels can actually be
used we now also only store labels when necessary.
Also now tracks the first continue usage of a label since this might not
be valid but that can only be determined after we have parsed the
statement.
Also ensures the correct error does not get wiped by load_state.
We decided that we want to move away from throwing exceptions in AOs
and regular functions implicitly and then returning some
default-constructed value (usually an empty JS::Value) - this requires
remembering to check for an exception at the call site, which is
error-prone. It's also awkward for return values that cannot be
default-constructed, e.g. MarkedValueList.
Instead, the thrown value should be part of the function return value.
The solution to this is moving closer to the spec and using something
they call "completion records":
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-completion-record-specification-type
This has various advantages:
- It becomes crystal clear whether some AO can fail or not, and errors
need to be handled and values unwrapped explicitly (for that reason
compatibility with the TRY() macro is already built-in, and a similar
TRY_OR_DISCARD() macro has been added specifically for use in LibJS,
while the majority of functions doesn't return ThrowCompletionOr yet)
- We no longer need to mix "valid" and "invalid" values of various types
for the success and exception outcomes (e.g. null/non-null AK::String,
empty/non-empty JS::Value)
- Subsequently it's no longer possible to accidentally use an exception
outcome return value as a success outcome return value (e.g. any AO
that returns a numeric type would return 0 even after throwing an
exception, at least before we started making use of Optional for that)
- Eventually the VM will no longer need to store an exception, and
temporarily clearing an exception (e.g. to call a function) becomes
obsolete - instead, completions will simply propagate up to the caller
outside of LibJS, which then can deal with it in any way
- Similar to throw we'll be able to implement the functionality of
break, continue, and return using completions, which will lead to
easier to understand code and fewer workarounds - the current
unwinding mechanism is not even remotely similar to the spec's
approach
The spec's NormalCompletion and ThrowCompletion AOs have been
implemented as simple wrappers around the JS::Completion constructor.
UpdateEmpty has been implemented as a JS::Completion method.
There's also a new VM::throw_completion<T>() helper, which basically
works like VM::throw_exception<T>() - it creates a T object (usually a
JS::Error), and returns it wrapped in a JS::Completion of Type::Throw.
Two temporary usage patterns have emerged:
1. Callee already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but caller doesn't:
auto foo = TRY_OR_DISCARD(bar());
2. Caller already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but callee doesn't:
auto foo = bar();
if (auto* exception = vm.exception())
return throw_completion(exception->value());
Eventually all error handling and unwrapping can be done with just TRY()
or possibly even operator? in the future :^)

This got changed in the spec at some point, replacing the assertion in
step 1 with "... and newTarget (an Object or undefined)" in the
parameter description.
Subsequently, there's now one step less, so the numbers all change.
Instead of having a single limit here, which we had to increase once to
work with ASAN enabled, check whether HAS_ADDRESS_SANITIZER is defined
and use 32 KiB, and 16 KiB otherwise (which is what we used previously).
This idea is shamelessly stolen from V8:
https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/b2b44af/src/execution/isolate.cc#L1381-L1387
The check for stack space in VM from push_execution_context has been
moved to a method on VM called did_reach_stack_space_limit. This
allows us to check the stack size in other places besides
push_execution_context.
We can now verify that we have enough space on the stack before calling
flatten_into_array to ensure that we don't cause a stack overflow error
when calling the function with a large depth.
The test262 tests under RegExp/property-escapes/generated will invoke
Reflect.apply with up to 10,000 arguments at a time. In LibJS, when the
call stack reached VM::call_internal, we transfer those arguments from
a MarkedValueList to the execution context's arguments Vector.
Because these types differ (MarkedValueList is a Vector<Value, 32>), the
arguments are copied rather than moved. By changing the arguments vector
to a MarkedValueList, we can properly move the passed arguments over.
This shaves about 2 seconds off the following test262 test (from 15sec):
RegExp/property-escapes/generated/General_Category_-_Decimal_Number.js
ResolveBinding now matches the spec, while the non-conforming parts
are moved to GetIdentifierReference.
Implementing this properly requires variable bindings.
This is used by VM::call_internal() and VM::construct() which roughly
map to function objects' [[Call]] and [[Construct]] slots in the spec.
Reorganizing this code revealed something weird: NativeFunction gets
its strictness by checking VM::in_strict_mode(). In other words,
it inherits the strict flag from the caller context. This is quite
weird, but many test-js tests rely on it, so let's preserve it until
we can think of something nicer.
Our Reference class now has the same fields as the spec:
- Base (a non-nullish value, an environment record, or `unresolvable`)
- Referenced Name (the name of the binding)
- Strict (whether the reference originated in strict mode code)
- ThisValue (if non-empty, the reference represents a `super` keyword)
The main difference from before is that we now resolve the environment
record that a reference interacts with. Previously we simply resolved
to either "local variable" or "global variable".
The associated abstract operations are still largely non-conforming,
since we don't yet implement proper variable bindings. But this patch
should at least fix a handful of test262 cases. :^)
There's one minor regression: some TypeError message strings get
a little worse due to doing a RequireObjectCoercible earlier in the
evaluation of MemberExpression.
