The goal here is to allow Cell::initialize to return a ThrowCompletion,
to handle OOM for example. Cell.h will then need to include Completion.h
which must include Value.h. This currently can't happen because Value.h
includes BigInt.h, which in turn includes Cell.h. So we would have an
include cycle.
This removes BigInt.h from Value.h, as it is forward-declarable (it is
only referred to with a reference or pointer). Then the Value overload
for Cell::Visitor::visit is moved to Cell.h, and missing BigInt.h
includes as peppered as needed.
This makes construction of Utf16String fallible in OOM conditions. The
immediate impact is that PrimitiveString must then be fallible as well,
as it may either transcode UTF-8 to UTF-16, or create a UTF-16 string
from ropes.
There are a couple of places where it is very non-trivial to propagate
the error further. A FIXME has been added to those locations.
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.
When performing GetValue on a primitive type we do not need to perform
the ToObject conversion as it will resolve to a property on the
prototype object.
To avoid this we skip the initial ToObject conversion on the base value
as it only serves to get the primitive's boxed prototype. We further
specialize on PrimitiveString in order to get efficient behaviour
behaviour for the direct properties.
Depending on the tests anywhere from 20 to 60%, with significant loop
overhead.
