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 :^)
Before putting `throw 1;` in a test file did not fail the file, and it
ignored the rest of the file. Now we check the resulting completion from
run and fail if that is an error.
The basic idea is that a global object cannot just come out of nowhere,
it must be associated to a realm - so get it from there, if needed.
This is to enforce the changes from all the previous commits by not
handing out global objects unless you actually have an initialized
realm (either stored somewhere, or the VM's current realm).
- Prefer VM::current_realm() over GlobalObject::associated_realm()
- Prefer VM::heap() over GlobalObject::heap()
- Prefer Cell::vm() over Cell::global_object()
- Prefer Wrapper::vm() over Wrapper::global_object()
- Inline Realm::global_object() calls used to access intrinsics as they
will later perform a direct lookup without going through the global
object
This is needed so that the allocated NativeFunction receives the correct
realm, usually forwarded from the Object's initialize() function, rather
than using the current realm.
Global object initialization is tightly coupled to realm creation, so
simply pass it to the function instead of relying on the non-standard
'associated realm' concept, which I'd like to remove later.
This works essentially the same way as regular Object::initialize() now.
Additionally this allows us to forward the realm to GlobalObject's
add_constructor() / initialize_constructor() helpers, so they set the
correct realm on the allocated constructor function object.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
It makes no sense to require passing a global object and doing a stack
space check in some cases where running out of stack is highly unlikely,
we can't recover from errors, and currently ignore the result anyway.
This is most commonly in constructors and when setting things up, rather
than regular function calls.
Instead of crashing on the spot, return a descriptive error that will
eventually continue its days as a javascript "InternalError" exception.
This should make random crashes with BC less likely.
The environment settings object is effectively the context a piece of
script is running under, for example, it contains the origin,
responsible document, realm, global object and event loop for the
current context. This effectively replaces ScriptExecutionContext, but
it cannot be removed in this commit as EventTarget still depends on it.

This commit removes all exception related code:
Remove VM::exception(), VM::throw_exception() etc. Any leftover
throw_exception calls are moved to throw_completion.
The one method left is clear_exception() which is now a no-op. Most of
these calls are just to clear whatever exception might have been thrown
when handling a Completion. So to have a cleaner commit this will be
removed in a next commit.
It also removes the actual Exception and TemporaryClearException classes
since these are no longer used.
In any spot where the exception was actually used an attempt was made to
preserve that behavior. However since it is no longer tracked by the VM
we cannot access exceptions which were thrown in previous calls.
There are two such cases which might have different behavior:
- In Web::DOM::Document::interpreter() the on_call_stack_emptied hook
used to print any uncaught exception but this is now no longer
possible as the VM does not store uncaught exceptions.
- In js the code used to be interruptable by throwing an exception on
the VM. This is no longer possible but was already somewhat fragile
before as you could happen to throw an exception just before a VERIFY.
This feature had bitrotted somewhat and would trigger errors because
PrimitiveStrings were "destroyed" but because of this mode they were not
removed from the string cache. Even fixing that case running test-js
with the options still failed in more places.
Using an Optional was extremely wasteful for function objects that don't
even have a bytecode executable.
This allows ECMAScriptFunctionObject to fit in a smaller size class.
This also refactors interpreter creation to follow
InitializeHostDefinedRealm, but I couldn't fit it in the title :^)
This allows us to follow the spec much more closely rather than being
completely ad-hoc with just the parse node instead of having all the
surrounding data such as the realm of the parse node.
The interpreter creation refactor creates the global execution context
once and doesn't take it off the stack. This allows LibWeb to take the
global execution context and manually handle it, following the HTML
spec. The HTML spec calls this the "realm execution context" of the
environment settings object.
It also allows us to specify the globalThis type, as it can be
different from the global object type. For example, on the web, Window
global objects use a WindowProxy global this value to enforce the same
origin policy on operations like [[GetOwnProperty]].
Finally, it allows us to directly call Program::execute in perform_eval
and perform_shadow_realm_eval as this moves
global_declaration_instantiation into Interpreter::run
(ScriptEvaluation) as per the spec.
Note that this doesn't evalulate Source Text Modules yet or refactor
the bytecode interpreter, that's work for future us :^)
This patch was originally build by Luke for the environment settings
object change but was also needed for modules. So I (davidot) have
modified it with the new completion changes and setup for that.

Instead of making it a void function, checking for an exception, and
then receiving the relevant result via VM::last_value(), we can
consolidate all of this by using completions.
This allows us to remove more uses of VM::exception(), and all uses of
VM::last_value().
In one case we can replace it with MUST() and accept the crash (we also
VERIFY() that there wasn't an exception); in the other case we don't
need to return after a throw completion.
Also add slightly richer parse errors now that we can include a string
literal with returned errors.
This will allow us to use TRY() when working with JSON data.
The old versions were renamed to JS_DECLARE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION and
JS_DEFINE_OLD_NATIVE_FUNCTION, and will be eventually removed once all
native functions were converted to the new format.
This patch adds a `-z` option to js and test-js. When run in this mode,
garbage cells are never actually destroyed. We instead keep them around
in a special zombie state.
This allows us to validate that zombies don't get marked in future GC
scans (since there were not supposed to be any more references!) :^)
Cells get notified when they become a zombie (via did_become_zombie())
and this is used by WeakContainer cells to deregister themselves from
the heap.
It can sometimes be difficult to tell from the debug.log and test stdout
which test was the last to run before the test runner hangs or exits the
QEMU instance unexpectedly.
Print out a start message before each test is executed, along with a
progress message indicating which test out of how many tests we're about
to run.
