This commit removes all exception related code:
Remove VM::exception(), VM::throw_exception() etc. Any leftover
throw_exception calls are moved to throw_completion.
The one method left is clear_exception() which is now a no-op. Most of
these calls are just to clear whatever exception might have been thrown
when handling a Completion. So to have a cleaner commit this will be
removed in a next commit.
It also removes the actual Exception and TemporaryClearException classes
since these are no longer used.
In any spot where the exception was actually used an attempt was made to
preserve that behavior. However since it is no longer tracked by the VM
we cannot access exceptions which were thrown in previous calls.
There are two such cases which might have different behavior:
- In Web::DOM::Document::interpreter() the on_call_stack_emptied hook
used to print any uncaught exception but this is now no longer
possible as the VM does not store uncaught exceptions.
- In js the code used to be interruptable by throwing an exception on
the VM. This is no longer possible but was already somewhat fragile
before as you could happen to throw an exception just before a VERIFY.
This also refactors interpreter creation to follow
InitializeHostDefinedRealm, but I couldn't fit it in the title :^)
This allows us to follow the spec much more closely rather than being
completely ad-hoc with just the parse node instead of having all the
surrounding data such as the realm of the parse node.
The interpreter creation refactor creates the global execution context
once and doesn't take it off the stack. This allows LibWeb to take the
global execution context and manually handle it, following the HTML
spec. The HTML spec calls this the "realm execution context" of the
environment settings object.
It also allows us to specify the globalThis type, as it can be
different from the global object type. For example, on the web, Window
global objects use a WindowProxy global this value to enforce the same
origin policy on operations like [[GetOwnProperty]].
Finally, it allows us to directly call Program::execute in perform_eval
and perform_shadow_realm_eval as this moves
global_declaration_instantiation into Interpreter::run
(ScriptEvaluation) as per the spec.
Note that this doesn't evalulate Source Text Modules yet or refactor
the bytecode interpreter, that's work for future us :^)
This patch was originally build by Luke for the environment settings
object change but was also needed for modules. So I (davidot) have
modified it with the new completion changes and setup for that.

Instead of making it a void function, checking for an exception, and
then receiving the relevant result via VM::last_value(), we can
consolidate all of this by using completions.
This allows us to remove more uses of VM::exception(), and all uses of
VM::last_value().
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 :^).
We need both a GlobalObject and Realm now, but can get the former from
the latter (once initialized).
This also fixes JS execution in LibWeb, as we failed to set the Realm of
the newly created Interpreter in this function.
To better follow the spec, we need to distinguish between the current
execution context's lexical environment and variable environment.
This patch moves us to having two record pointers, although both of
them point at the same environment records for now.
This patch adds FunctionEnvironmentRecord as a subclass of the existing
DeclarativeEnvironmentRecord. Things that are specific to function
environment records move into there, simplifying the base.
Most of the abstract operations related to function environment records
are rewritten to match the spec exactly. I also had to implement
GetThisEnvironment() and GetSuperConstructor() to keep tests working
after the changes, so that's nice as well. :^)
This patch makes the following name changes:
- ScopeObject => EnvironmentRecord
- LexicalEnvironment => DeclarativeEnvironmentRecord
- WithScope => ObjectEnvironmentRecord

With one small exception, this is how we've been using this API already,
and it makes sense: a Program is just a ScopeNode with any number of
statements, which are executed one by one. There's no explicit return
value at the end, only a completion value of the last value-producing
statement, which we then access using VM::last_value() if needed (e.g.
in the REPL).
