This makes more sense as an Object method rather than living within the
VM class for no good reason. Most of the other 7.3.xx AOs already work
the same way.
Also add spec comments while we're here.
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 :^)
TypedArray constructors/prototypes are currently allocating within their
C++ constructor when trying to access the intrinsic base TypedArray. To
prevent this, construct these objects with an already-allocated base
TypedArray.
We are currently allocating in Set's constructor to create the set's
underlying Map. This can cause GC to occur before the member is actually
initialized, thus we will crash in Set::visit_edges trying to visit a
member that does not exist.
Instead, create the Map in Set::initialize, where we can allocate. Also
change Map to be stored as a normal JS heap-allocated object, rather
than as a stack variable.
The bytecode interpreter can execute generator functions while the AST
interpreter cannot. This simply makes it create a new bytecode
interpreter when one doesn't exist when executing a generator function.
Doing so makes it automatically switch to the bytecode interpreter to
execute any future code until it exits the generator.
Previously, throw and return completions would not be executed inside
the generator. This is incorrect, as throw and return need to perform
unwinds which can potentially execute more code inside the generator,
such as finally blocks.
This is done by also passing the completion type alongside the passed
in value. The continuation block will immediately extract and type and
value and perform the appropriate operation for the given type.
For normal completions, this is continuing as normal.
For throw completions, it will perform `throw <value>`.
For return completions, it will perform `return <value>`, which is a
`Yield return` in this case due to being inside a generator.
This also refactors GeneratorObject to properly send across the
completion type and value to the generator inside of trying to operate
on the completions itself.
This is a prerequisite for yield*, as it performs special iterator
operations when receiving a throw/return completion and does not
complete the generator like the regular yield would.
There's still more work to be done to make GeneratorObject::execute
be closer to the spec. It's mostly a restructuring of the existing
GeneratorObject::next_impl.
For performance, it is desirable to defer evaluation of intrinsics that
are stored on the GlobalObject for every created Realm. To support this,
Object now maintains a global storage map to store lambdas that will
return the associated intrinsic when evaluated. Once accessed, the
instrinsic is moved from this global map to normal Object storage.
To prevent this flow from becoming observable, when a deferred intrinsic
is stored, we still place an empty object in the normal Object storage.
This is so we still create the metadata for the object, and in doing so,
can preserve insertion order of the Object storage. Otherwise, this will
be observable by way of Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors.
This changes Intrinsics to not initialize most of its constructors and
prototype right away. We still initialize a few that are needed before
some others are created, though we may eventually be able to "link"
dependencies at compile time to avoid this.
