Since blocks can't be strict by themselves, it makes no sense for them
to store whether or not they are strict. Strict-ness is now stored in
the Program and FunctionNode ASTNodes. Fixes issue #3641
Each JS global object has its own "console", so it makes more sense to
store it in GlobalObject.
We'll need some smartness later to bundle up console messages from all
the different frames that make up a page later, but this works for now.
More work on decoupling the general runtime from Interpreter. The goal
is becoming clearer. Interpreter should be one possible way to execute
code inside a VM. In the future we might have other ways :^)
Okay, my vision here is improving. Interpreter should be a thing that
executes an AST. The scope stack is irrelevant to the VM proper,
so we can move that to the Interpreter. Same with execute_statement().
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.
Empty string is extremely common and we can avoid a lot of heap churn
by simply caching one in the VM. Primitive strings are immutable anyway
so there is no observable behavior change outside of fewer collections.
To make it a little clearer what this is for. (This is an RAII helper
class for adding and removing an Interpreter to a VM's list of the
currently active (executing code) Interpreters.)
Taking a big step towards a world of multiple global object, this patch
adds a new JS::VM object that houses the JS::Heap.
This means that the Heap moves out of Interpreter, and the same Heap
can now be used by multiple Interpreters, and can also outlive them.
The VM keeps a stack of Interpreter pointers. We push/pop on this
stack when entering/exiting execution with a given Interpreter.
This allows us to make this change without disturbing too much of
the existing code.
There is still a 1-to-1 relationship between Interpreter and the
global object. This will change in the future.
Ultimately, the goal here is to make Interpreter a transient object
that only needs to exist while you execute some code. Getting there
will take a lot more work though. :^)
Note that in LibWeb, the global JS::VM is called main_thread_vm(),
to distinguish it from future worker VM's.
Shape was allocating property tables inside visit_children(), which
could cause garbage collection to happen. It's not very good to start
a new garbage collection while you are in the middle of one already.
In the case of an exception in a property getter function we would not
return early, and a subsequent attempt to call the replacer function
would crash the interpreter due to call_internal() asserting.
Fixes#3548.
Interpreter::run() was so far being used both as the "public API entry
point" for running a JS::Program as well as internally to execute
JS::Statement|s of all kinds - this is now more distinctly separated.
A program as returned by the parser is still going through run(), which
is responsible for creating the initial global call frame, but all other
statements are executed via execute_statement() directly.
Fixes#3437, a regression introduced by adding ASSERT(!exception()) to
run() without considering the effects that would have on internal usage.
Looks like an oversight to me - we were not actually setting a new value
for m_array_size, which would cause arrays created with generic storage
to report a .length of 0.
This is already considered in put()/insert()/append_all() but not
set_array_like_size(), which crashed the interpreter with an assertion
when creating an array with more than SPARSE_ARRAY_THRESHOLD (200)
initial elements as the simple storage was being resized beyond its
limit.
Fixes#3382.
