LibJS: Start fleshing out a bytecode for the JavaScript engine :^) This patch begins the work of implementing JavaScript execution in a bytecode VM instead of an AST tree-walk interpreter. It's probably quite naive, but we have to start somewhere. The basic idea is that you call Bytecode::Generator::generate() on an AST node and it hands you back a Bytecode::Block filled with instructions that can then be interpreted by a Bytecode::Interpreter. This first version only implements two instructions: Load and Add. :^) Each bytecode block has infinity registers, and the interpreter resizes its register file to fit the block being executed. Two new `js` options are added in this patch as well: `-d` will dump the generated bytecode `-b` will execute the generated bytecode Note that unless `-d` and/or `-b` are specified, none of the bytecode related stuff in LibJS runs at all. This is implemented in parallel with the existing AST interpreter. :^)

LibJS: Generate bytecode in basic blocks instead of one big block This limits the size of each block (currently set to 1K), and gets us closer to a canonical, more easily analysable bytecode format. As a result of this, "Labels" are now simply entries to basic blocks. Since there is no more 'conditional' jump (as all jumps are always taken), JumpIf{True,False} are unified to JumpConditional, and JumpIfNullish is renamed to JumpNullish. Also fixes #7914 as a result of reimplementing the loop logic.

#include <LibJS/Bytecode/Executable.h>
LibJS: Add a separate "identifier table" to bytecode executables This is a specialized string table for storing identifiers only. Identifiers are always FlyStrings, which makes many common operations faster by allowing O(1) comparison.

#include <LibJS/Bytecode/IdentifierTable.h>
LibJS: Add basic support for while loops in the bytecode engine This introduces two new instructions: Jump and JumpIfFalse. Jumps are made to a Bytecode::Label, which is a simple object that represents a location in the bytecode stream. Note that you may not always know the target of a jump when adding the jump instruction itself, but we can just update the instruction later on during codegen once we know where the jump target is. The Bytecode::Interpreter now implements jumping via a jump slot that gets checked after each instruction to see if a jump is pending. If not, we just increment the PC as usual.

If no unwind context is available we return from the loop. If an exception handler is available we clear the VM's exception, put the exception value into the accumulator register, clear the unwind context's handler and jump to the handler. If no handler is available but a finalizer is available we save the exception value + metadata (for later use by ContinuePendingUnwind), clear the VM's exception, pop the unwind context and jump to the finalizer. ContinuePendingUnwind checks whether a saved exception is available. If no saved exception is available it jumps to the resume label. Otherwise it stores the exception into the VM. The Jump after LeaveUnwindContext could be integrated into the LeaveUnwindContext instruction. I've kept them separate for now to make the bytecode more readable. > try { 1; throw "x" } catch (e) { 2 } finally { 3 }; 4 1: [ 0] EnterScope [ 10] EnterUnwindContext handler:@4 finalizer:@3 [ 38] EnterScope [ 48] LoadImmediate 1 [ 60] NewString 1 ("x") [ 70] Throw <for non-terminated blocks: insert LeaveUnwindContext + Jump @3 here> 2: [ 0] LoadImmediate 4 3: [ 0] EnterScope [ 10] LoadImmediate 3 [ 28] ContinuePendingUnwind resume:@2 4: [ 0] SetVariable 0 (e) [ 10] EnterScope [ 20] LoadImmediate 2 [ 38] LeaveUnwindContext [ 3c] Jump @3 String Table: 0: e 1: x

The basic idea is that you call Bytecode::Generator::generate() on an AST node and it hands you back a Bytecode::Block filled with instructions that can then be interpreted by a Bytecode::Interpreter. This first version only implements two instructions: Load and Add. :^) Each bytecode block has infinity registers, and the interpreter resizes its register file to fit the block being executed. Two new `js` options are added in this patch as well: `-d` will dump the generated bytecode `-b` will execute the generated bytecode Note that unless `-d` and/or `-b` are specified, none of the bytecode related stuff in LibJS runs at all. This is implemented in parallel with the existing AST interpreter. :^)
