This code generator no longer creates JS wrappers for platform objects
in the old sense, instead they're JS objects internally themselves.
Most of what we generate now are prototypes - which can be seen as
bindings for the internal C++ methods implementing getters, setters, and
methods - as well as object constructors, i.e. bindings for the internal
create_with_global_object() method.
Also tweak the naming of various CMake glue code existing around this.
Track the kind of Type it is, and use that to provide some convenient
`is_foo()` / `as_foo()` methods. While I was at it, made these all
classes instead of structs and made their data private.
IDL function overload resolution requires knowing each IDL function's
parameters and their types at runtime. The simplest way to do that is
just to make the types the generator uses available to the runtime.
Parsing has moved to LibIDL, but code generation has not, since that is
very specific to WrapperGenerator.
Replacement conditions for `requires_argument` have been chosen based
on what would be most convenient for implementing an eventual optional
argument mode.
While null StringViews are just as bad, these prevent the removal of
StringView(char const*) as that constructor accepts a nullptr.
No functional changes.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
This commit moves the length calculations out to be directly on the
StringView users. This is an important step towards the goal of removing
StringView(char const*), as it moves the responsibility of calculating
the size of the string to the user of the StringView (which will prevent
naive uses causing OOB access).
The main thing that is missing is validating certain pieces of data
against XML productions in well-formed mode, but nothing uses
well-formed mode right now.

By using RefPtrs to handle interfaces, the IDL parser could store cyclic
references to interfaces that import each other. One main example is the
"EventTarget.idl" and the "AbortSignal.idl" files, which both reference
each other. This caused huge amounts of memory not to be freed on exit.
To fix this, the parsed IDL interfaces are now stored in a HashTable of
NonnullOwnPtr<Interface>, which serves as the sole reference for every
parsed interface. All other usages of the Interface are changed to use
references instead of RefPtrs, or occasionally as raw pointers where
references don't fit inside the data structures.
This new HashTable is static, and as such will automatically be freed
prior to exiting the generator. This ensures that the code generator
properly cleans up after itself.
With this change, The IDL code generators can properly run on Lagom when
compiled with the -DENABLE_ADDRESS_SANITIZER=ON flag, and gets compiled
properly on the CI :^)
WebSockets got moved from the HTML standard to their own, the new
WebSockets Standard (https://websockets.spec.whatwg.org).
Move the IDL file and implementation into a new WebSockets directory and
C++ namespace accordingly.
The single 4000-line WrapperGenerator.cpp file was proving to be a pain
to hack, and was filled with spaghetti, split it into a bunch of files
to lessen the impact of the spaghetti.
Also refactor the whole parser to use a class instead of a giant
function with a million lambdas.
