We now invoke DOM timer callbacks via HTML tasks. This brings callback
sequencing closer to the spec, although there are still many
imperfections in this area.
This introduces 3 classes: NodeList, StaticNodeList and LiveNodeList.
NodeList is the base of the static and live versions. Static is a
snapshot whereas live acts on the underlying data and thus inhibits
the same issues we have currently with HTMLCollection.
They were split into separate classes to not have them weirdly
mis-mashed together.
The create functions for static and live both return a NNRP to the base
class. This is to prevent having to do awkward casting at creation
and/or return, as the bindings expect to see the base NodeList only.
Since we don't support IDL typedefs or unions yet, the responsibility
of verifying the type of the argument is temporarily moved from the
generated Wrapper to the implementation.
This is used surprisingly often. For example, it is used by a core
YouTube library called Structured Page Fragments.
It allows you to manually dispatch an event with arbitrary data
attached to it.
The only thing missing from this implementation is the constructor.
This is because WrapperGenerator is currently missing dictionary
capabilities.
We now fire "pageshow" events at the appropriate time during document
loading (done by the parser.)
Note that there are no corresponding "pagehide" events yet.
This will be used to determine whether "pageshow" and "pagehide" events
are appropriate. We won't actually make use of it until we implement
more of history traversal and document unloading.
The only difference from what we were already doing is that setting the
same ready state twice no longer fires a "readystatechange" event.
I don't think that could happen in practice though.
We have to mark the EventListener objects so that we can tell them apart
from listeners added via the addEventListener() API.
This makes element.onfoo getters actually return the handler function.
We will now spin in "the end" until there are no more "things delaying
the load event". Of course, nothing actually uses this yet, and there
are a lot of things that need to.
The old name is the result of the perhaps somewhat confusingly named
abstract operation OrdinaryFunctionCreate(), which creates an "ordinary
object" (https://tc39.es/ecma262/#ordinary-object) in contrast to an
"exotic object" (https://tc39.es/ecma262/#exotic-object).
However, the term "Ordinary Function" is not used anywhere in the spec,
instead the created object is referred to as an "ECMAScript Function
Object" (https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-ecmascript-function-objects), so
let's call it that.
The "ordinary" vs. "exotic" distinction is important because there are
also "Built-in Function Objects", which can be either implemented as
ordinary ECMAScript function objects, or as exotic objects (our
NativeFunction).
More work needs to be done to move a lot of infrastructure to
ECMAScriptFunctionObject in order to make FunctionObject nothing more
than an interface for objects that implement [[Call]] and optionally
[[Construct]].
Resolved style is a spec concept that refers to the weird mix of
computed style and used style reflected by getComputedStyle().
The purpose of this class is to produce the *computed* style for a given
element, so let's call it StyleComputer.
The original name was based on the window.getComputedStyle() API.
However, "Computed" in "getComputedStyle" is actually a misnomer that
the platform is stuck with due to backwards compatibility.
What getComputedStyle() returns is actually a mix of computed and used
values. The spec calls it the "resolved" values. So let's call this
declaration subclass "ResolvedCSSStyleDeclaration" to match.
This also moves getElementsByTagName to ParentNode to remove the code
duplication between Document and Element. This additionally fixes a bug
where getElementsByTagName did not check if the element was a
descendant, meaning it would also include the context element if the
condition matched.
