This might've been needed at some point to disambiguate between another
function of the same name that is in LibLocale. But now that it takes a
VM parameter, it is for sure clear to the compiler what is being called.
In order to prevent this commit from having to refactor almost all of
Intl, the goal here is to update the internal parsing/canonicalization
of locales within LibLocale only. Call sites which are already equiped
to handle String and OOM errors do so, however.
It turns out return a ThrowCompletionOr<T const&> is flawed, as the GCC
expansion trick used with TRY will always make a copy. PrimitiveString
is luckily the only such use case.
This makes construction of Utf16String fallible in OOM conditions. The
immediate impact is that PrimitiveString must then be fallible as well,
as it may either transcode UTF-8 to UTF-16, or create a UTF-16 string
from ropes.
There are a couple of places where it is very non-trivial to propagate
the error further. A FIXME has been added to those locations.
We return early from the DateTimeFormat constructor to avoid crashing on
assertions when the CLDR is disabled. However, after commit 019211b, the
spec now mandates we assert the time zone identifier is valid. The early
return resulted in this identifier being an empty string.
This constructor was easily confused with a copy constructor, and it was
possible to accidentally copy-construct Objects in at least one way that
we dicovered (via generic ThrowCompletionOr construction).
This patch adds a mandatory ConstructWithPrototypeTag parameter to the
constructor to disambiguate it.
Note that js_rope_string() has been folded into this, the old name was
misleading - it would not always create a rope string, only if both
sides are not empty strings. Use a three-argument create() overload
instead.
Three standalone Cell creation functions remain in the JS namespace:
- js_bigint()
- js_string()
- js_symbol()
All of them are leftovers from early iterations when LibJS still took
inspiration from JSC, which itself has jsString(). Nowadays, we pretty
much exclusively use static create() functions to construct types
allocated on the JS heap, and there's no reason to not do the same for
these.
Also change the return type from BigInt* to NonnullGCPtr<BigInt> while
we're here.
This is patch 1/3, replacement of js_string() and js_symbol() follow.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
