Before this change, PropertyNameIterator (used by for..in) and
`Object::enumerable_own_property_names()` (used by `Object.keys()`,
`Object.values()`, and `Object.entries()`) enumerated an object's own
enumerable properties exactly as the spec prescribes:
- Call `internal_own_property_keys()`, allocating a list of JS::Value
keys.
- For each key, call internal_get_own_property() to obtain a
descriptor and check `[[Enumerable]]`.
While that is required in the general case (e.g. for Proxy objects or
platform/exotic objects that override `[[OwnPropertyKeys]]`), it's
overkill for ordinary JS objects that store their own properties in the
shape table and indexed-properties storage.
This change introduces `for_each_own_property_with_enumerability()`,
which, for objects where
`eligible_for_own_property_enumeration_fast_path()` is `true`, lets us
read the enumerability directly from shape metadata (and from
indexed-properties storage) without a per-property descriptor lookup.
When we cannot avoid `internal_get_own_property()`, we still
benefit by skipping the temporary `Vector<Value>` of keys and avoiding
the unnecessary round-trip between PropertyKey and Value.
We already had IC support in PutById for the following cases:
- Changing an existing own property
- Calling a setter located in the prototype chain
This was enough to speed up code where structurally identical objects
(same shape) are processed in a loop:
```js
const arr = [{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }];
for (let obj of arr) {
obj.a += 1;
}
```
However, creating structurally identical objects in a loop was still
slow:
```js
for (let i = 0; i < 10_000_000; i++) {
const o = {};
o.a = 1;
o.b = 2;
o.c = 3;
}
```
This change addresses that by adding a new IC type that caches both the
source and target shapes, allowing property additions to be fast-pathed
by directly jumping to the shape that already includes the new property.
This has quite a lot of fall out. But the majority of it is just type or
UDL substitution, where the changes just fall through to other function
calls.
By changing property key storage to UTF-16, the main affected areas are:
* NativeFunction names must now be UTF-16
* Bytecode identifiers must now be UTF-16
* Module/binding names must now be UTF-16
This reverts commit c14173f651. We
should only annotate the minimum number of symbols that external
consumers actually use, so I am starting from scratch to do that
By doing that we avoid lots of `PropertyKey` -> `Value` -> `PropertyKey`
transforms, which are quite expensive because of underlying
`FlyString` -> `PrimitiveString` -> `FlyString` conversions.
10% improvement on MicroBench/object-keys.js
This is *extremely* common on the web, but barely shows up at all in
JavaScript benchmarks.
A typical example is setting Element.innerHTML on a HTMLDivElement.
HTMLDivElement doesn't have innerHTML, so it has to travel up the
prototype chain until it finds it.
Before this change, we didn't cache this at all, so we had to travel
the prototype chain every time a setter like this was used.
We now use the same mechanism we already had for GetBydId and cache
PutById setter accesses in the prototype chain as well.
1.74x speedup on MicroBench/setter-in-prototype-chain.js
Resulting in a massive rename across almost everywhere! Alongside the
namespace change, we now have the following names:
* JS::NonnullGCPtr -> GC::Ref
* JS::GCPtr -> GC::Ptr
* JS::HeapFunction -> GC::Function
* JS::CellImpl -> GC::Cell
* JS::Handle -> GC::Root
