This finally takes care of the kind-of excessive boilerplate code that were the
ctype adapters. On the other hand, I had to link `LibC/ctype.cpp` to the Kernel
(for `AK/JsonParser.cpp` and `AK/Format.cpp`). The previous commit actually makes
sense now: the `string.h` includes in `ctype.{h,cpp}` would require to link more LibC
stuff to the Kernel when it only needs the `_ctype_` array of `ctype.cpp`, and there
wasn't any string stuff used in ctype.
Instead of all this I could have put static derivatives of `is_any_of()` in the
concerned AK files, however that would have meant more boilerplate and workarounds;
so I went for the Kernel approach.
This patch moves the exception state, call stack and scope stack from
Interpreter to VM. I'm doing this to help myself discover what the
split between Interpreter and VM should be, by shuffling things around
and seeing what falls where.
With these changes, we no longer have a persistent lexical environment
for the current global object on the Interpreter's call stack. Instead,
we push/pop that environment on Interpreter::run() enter/exit.
Since it should only be used to find the global "this", and not for
variable storage (that goes directly into the global object instead!),
I had to insert some short-circuiting when walking the environment
parent chain during variable lookup.
Note that this is a "stepping stone" commit, not a final design.
This commit just moves some code around:
- Give Cell its own file
- Pull all forward-declared classes/structs into Forward.h
- Clean up the order of member functions a bit
The fact that a `MarkedValueList` had to be created was just annoying,
so here's an alternative.
This patchset also removes some (now) unneeded MarkedValueList.h includes.
The motivation for this change is twofold:
- Returning a JS::Value is misleading as one would expect it to carry
some meaningful information, like maybe the error object that's being
created, but in fact it is always empty. Supposedly to serve as a
shortcut for the common case of "throw and return empty value", but
that's just leading us to my second point.
- Inconsistent usage / coding style: as of this commit there are 114
uses of throw_exception() discarding its return value and 55 uses
directly returning the call result (in LibJS, not counting LibWeb);
with the first style often having a more explicit empty value (or
nullptr in some cases) return anyway.
One more line to always make the return value obvious is should be
worth it.
So now it's basically always these steps, which is already being used in
the majority of cases (as outlined above):
- Throw an exception. This mutates interpreter state by updating
m_exception and unwinding, but doesn't return anything.
- Let the caller explicitly return an empty value, nullptr or anything
else itself.
