Similar to create() in LibJS, wrap() et al. are on a low enough level to
warrant passing a Realm directly instead of relying on the current realm
from the VM, as a wrapper may need to be allocated while no JS is being
executed.
This is a continuation of the previous six commits.
The global object is only needed to return it if the execution context
stack is empty, but that doesn't seem like a useful thing to allow in
the first place - if you're not currently executing JS, and the
execution context stack is empty, there is no this value to retrieve.
This is a continuation of the previous five commits.
A first big step into the direction of no longer having to pass a realm
(or currently, a global object) trough layers upon layers of AOs!
Unlike the create() APIs we can safely assume that this is only ever
called when a running execution context and therefore current realm
exists. If not, you can always manually allocate the Error and put it in
a Completion :^)
In the spec, throw exceptions implicitly use the current realm's
intrinsics as well: https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-throw-an-exception
This is a continuation of the previous three commits.
Now that create() receives the allocating realm, we can simply forward
that to allocate(), which accounts for the majority of these changes.
Additionally, we can get rid of the realm_from_global_object() in one
place, with one more remaining in VM::throw_completion().
This is a continuation of the previous two commits.
As allocating a JS cell already primarily involves a realm instead of a
global object, and we'll need to pass one to the allocate() function
itself eventually (it's bridged via the global object right now), the
create() functions need to receive a realm as well.
The plan is for this to be the highest-level function that actually
receives a realm and passes it around, AOs on an even higher level will
use the "current realm" concept via VM::current_realm() as that's what
the spec assumes; passing around realms (or global objects, for that
matter) on higher AO levels is pointless and unlike for allocating
individual objects, which may happen outside of regular JS execution, we
don't need control over the specific realm that is being used there.
This is a continuation of the previous commit.
Calling initialize() is the first thing that's done after allocating a
cell on the JS heap - and in the common case of allocating an object,
that's where properties are assigned and intrinsics occasionally
accessed.
Since those are supposed to live on the realm eventually, this is
another step into that direction.
No functional changes - we can still very easily get to the global
object via `Realm::global_object()`. This is in preparation of moving
the intrinsics to the realm and no longer having to pass a global
object when allocating any object.
In a few (now, and many more in subsequent commits) places we get a
realm using `GlobalObject::associated_realm()`, this is intended to be
temporary. For example, create() functions will later receive the same
treatment and are passed a realm instead of a global object.
Required by Discord, which polyfills it by taking the existing native
object, polyfilling missing functions and setting window.performance to
it.
This is a hard requirement as this is done in strict mode with no
try/catch and thus causes their JavaScript to stop progressing.
Using the fact that there are 2^52-2 NaN representations we can
"NaN-box" all the Values possible. This means that Value no longer has
an explicit "Type" but that information is now stored in the bits of a
double. This is done by "tagging" the top two bytes of the double.
For a full explanation see the large comment with asserts at the top of
Value.
We can also use the exact representation of the tags to make checking
properties like nullish, or is_cell quicker. But the largest gains are
in the fact that the size of a Value is now halved.
The SunSpider and other benchmarks have been ran to confirm that there
are no regressions in performance compared to the previous
implementation. The tests never performed worse and in some cases
performed better. But the biggest differences can be seen in memory
usage when large arrays are allocated. A simple test which allocates a
1000 arrays of size 100000 has roughly half the memory usage.
There is also space in the representations for future expansions such as
tuples and records.
To ensure that Values on the stack and registers are not lost during
garbage collection we also have to add a check to the Heap to check for
any of the cell tags and extracting the canonical form of the pointer
if it matches.
Assignments actually forward to window.location.href, as the spec
requires. Since the window object is implemented by hand, this looks a
little janky. Eventually we should move all this stuff to IDL.
The way we've been creating DOM::Document has been pretty far from what
the spec tells us to do, and this is a first big step towards getting us
closer to spec.
The new Document::create_and_initialize() is called by FrameLoader after
loading a "text/html" resource.
We create the JS Realm and the Window object when creating the Document
(previously, we'd do it on first access to Document::interpreter().)
The realm execution context is owned by the Environment Settings Object.
A lot of code assumes that there's a current execution context. By
setting up a dummy context right after creating the main thread VM,
we ensure that such code can always run.
This is a minor refactor of IDL::get_buffer_source_copy() letting it
return ErrorOr<ByteBuffer> instead of Optional<ByteBuffer>.
This also updates all places that use IDL::get_buffer_source_copy().
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.
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.

This element doesn't actually support anything at the moment, but it
still massively speeds up painting performance on Wikipedia! :^)
How? Because we no longer paint SVG <path> elements found inside
<clipPath> elements. SVGClipPathElement::create_layout_node() returns
nullptr which stops the layout tree builder from recursing further into
the subtree, and so the <path> element never gets a layout or paint box.
Mousing over Wikipedia now barely break 50% CPU usage on my machine :^)
