Let's stop putting generic types and AOs from the Web IDL spec into
the Bindings namespace and directory in LibWeb, and instead follow our
usual naming rules of 'directory = namespace = spec name'. The IDL
namespace is already used by LibIDL, so Web::WebIDL seems like a good
choice.
Previously, this would overflow when both length and offset were
zero, leading to an OOB index into es_array_buffer. This would lead to
a crash on a few MDN pages.
This patch moves the following things to being GC-allocated:
- Bindings::CallbackType
- HTML::EventHandler
- DOM::IDLEventListener
- DOM::DOMEventListener
- DOM::NodeFilter
Note that we only use PlatformObject for things that might be exposed
to web content. Anything that is only used internally inherits directly
from JS::Cell instead, making them a bit more lightweight.
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.
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().
Some callers, e.g. setTimeout / setInterval, will want to invoke this AO
with an arguments list retrieved from the JS VM (as opposed to invoking
it with a variadic list at the call site).
The spec version of canonical_numeric_index_string is absurdly complex,
and ends up converting from a string to a number, and then back again
which is both slow and also requires a few allocations and a string
compare.
Instead this patch moves away from using Values to represent canonical
a canonical index. In most cases all we need to know is whether a
PropertyKey is an integer between 0 and 2^^32-2, which we already
compute when we construct a PropertyKey so the existing is_number()
check is sufficient.
The more expensive case is handling strings containing numbers that
don't roundtrip through string conversion. In most cases these turn
into regular string properties, but for TypedArray access these
property names are not treated as normal named properties.
TypedArrays treat these numeric properties as magic indexes that are
ignored on read and are not stored (but are evaluated) on assignment.
For that reason there's now a mode flag on canonical_numeric_index_string
so that only TypedArrays take the cost of the ToString round trip test.
In order to improve the performance of this path this patch includes
some early returns to avoid conversion in cases where we can quickly
know whether a property can round trip.
This reverts commit 3a184f7841.
This broke a number of test262 tests under "TypedArrayConstructors".
The issue is that the CanonicalNumericIndexString AO should not fail
for inputs like "1.1", despite them not being integral indices.
The spec version of canonical_numeric_index_string is absurdly complex,
and ends up converting from a string to a number, and then back again
which is both slow and also requires a few allocations and a string
compare.
Instead lets use the logic we already have as that is much more
efficient.
This improves performance of all non-numeric property names.
Apologies for the enormous commit, but I don't see a way to split this
up nicely. In the vast majority of cases it's a simple change. A few
extra places can use TRY instead of manual error checking though. :^)
This function initially returned a ByteBuffer, so `return {}` was fine.
It was then changed to return Optional<ByteBuffer>, so we accidentally
started returning an empty Optional instead. Explicitly specify the
constructor name to fix this.
Thanks to DexesTTP for catching this!
A legacy platform object is a non-global platform object that
implements a special operation. A special operation is a getter, setter
and/or deleter. This is particularly used for old collection types,
such as HTMLCollection, NodeList, etc.
This will be used to make these spec-compliant and remove their custom
wrappers. Additionally, it will be used to implement collections that
we don't have yet, such as DOMStringMap.
