The big improvement included in this commit is stack height mismatch
validation. There are other minor improvements included (related to the
validation algorithm). The method of supporting stack polymorphism has
changed to be more like the spec, which was necessary for confidently
handling stack height mismatches.
See:
https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/appendix/algorithm.html
Previously, the validator had a lot of extraneous information related to
frames. Now, there's just one stack with all the necessary information
derived from it.
These vector copies accounted for more than 50% of the current runtime
of the validator on a large wasm file, this commit makes them
copy-on-write to avoid the copies where possible, gaining nearly a 50%
speedup.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
That pattern seems to show up a lot in code written by people that
aren't intimately familiar with the lifetime model of Error and Strings.
This commit makes the compiler detect it and present a more helpful
diagnostic than "garbage string at runtime".
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 :^)
This prevents us from needing a sv suffix, and potentially reduces the
need to run generic code for a single character (as contains,
starts_with, ends_with etc. for a char will be just a length and
equality check).
No functional changes.
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.
Error::from_string_literal now takes direct char const*s, while
Error::from_string_view does what Error::from_string_literal used to do:
taking StringViews. This change will remove the need to insert `sv`
after error strings when returning string literal errors once
StringView(char const*) is removed.
No functional changes.
We were doing a number of things wrong:
- Switching to the parent context in the else meant that we couldn't
break out of the else section anymore
- We were not validating the resulting values, and so the stack was
in a relatively unknown state after 'else'
This commit fixes these issues :^)
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
