This commits makes effort towards tolerating some of javascript's quirks
when it comes to its type system, note that the interpreter's way of
handling type coercion is still not mature at all, for example, we still
have to implement NaN instead of just crashing when trying to parse a
string and failing.
This patch makes all HeapBlock allocations aligned to their block size,
enabling us to find the HeapBlock* for a given Cell* by simply masking
bits off of the cell address.
Use this to make a simple Heap& getter for Cell, which lets us avoid
plumbing the Heap& everywhere.
The above snippet is a MemberExpression that necessitates the implicit
construction of a StringObject wrapper around a PrimitiveString.
We then do a property lookup (a "get") on the StringObject, where we
find the "length" property. This is pretty neat! :^)
Objects can now be allocated via the interpreter's heap. Objects that
are allocated in this way will need to be provably reachable from at
least one of the known object graph roots.
The roots are currently determined by Heap::collect_roots().
Anything that wants be collectable garbage should inherit from Cell,
the fundamental atom of the GC heap.
This is pretty neat! :^)
