This patch adds two macros to declare per-type allocators:
- JS_DECLARE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
- JS_DEFINE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
When used, they add a type-specific CellAllocator that the Heap will
delegate allocation requests to.
The result of this is that GC objects of the same type always end up
within the same HeapBlock, drastically reducing the ability to perform
type confusion attacks.
It also improves HeapBlock utilization, since each block now has cells
sized exactly to the type used within that block. (Previously we only
had a handful of block sizes available, and most GC allocations ended
up with a large amount of slack in their tails.)
There is a small performance hit from this, but I'm sure we can make
up for it elsewhere.
Note that the old size-based allocators still exist, and we fall back
to them for any type that doesn't have its own CellAllocator.
The dollar sign is a special character in POSIX shells and in the Ninja
build file format. If the file name contains a `$`, something goes wrong
in the escaping/unescaping of this symbol, and CMake/GCC/Clang generate
invalid dependency files where not all instances of `$` are escaped
properly. Because of this, Ninja fails to rebuild `$262Object.cpp` if
the headers included by it have changed.
Stale `$262Object.cpp.o` files have been the cause of mysterious crashes
multiple times which only go away after doing a clean build. Let's
prevent these from happening again by removing the `$` from the
filename.
