This ports XHR's fire_progress_event() and request_error_steps() to new
FlyString.
Signature of fire_progress_event() parameter event_name was changed
from 'String const&' to 'FlyString const&'.
This ports MouseEvent, UIEvent, WheelEvent, and Event to new String.
They all had a dependency to T::create() in
WebDriverConnection::fire_an_event() and therefore had to be ported in
the same commit.
These are currently initialized in a [[gnu::constructor]], which has a
weird initialization order. These constructors are invoked before main()
and, incidentally, before any user-defined default constructors of the
static strings they are initializing.
This will become an issue when these strings are ported to FlyString,
which has a user-defined default constructor. In that scenario, when the
FlyString constructor is executed after the [[gnu::constructor]], the
strings will be "reset" to the empty string.
Instead of relying on a non-standard compiler extension here, let's just
initialize these strings explicitly during main-thread VM creation, as
this now happens in WebContent's main().
This makes XHR now rely on Fetch, which allows it to correct send
Origin and Referer headers, CORS-preflight and filtering and many other
goodies.
The main thing that's missing is Streams, which means we can't properly
produce progress events or switch to the Loading ready state.
This also doesn't implement the Document responseType just yet.
This makes Fetch rely less on using main_thread_vm().current_realm(),
which relies on the dummy execution context if no JavaScript is
currently running.
This makes use of the new [UseNewAKString] extended attribute. Using
Vector storage will make it easier to make this interface into an IDL
iterable. It seems the reason it didn't use Vector originally was due
to awkward DeprecatedString -> String conversions.
Because of interdependencies between DOM::Event and UIEvents::MouseEvent
to template function fire_an_event() in WebDriverConnection.cpp, the
commit: 'LibWeb: Make factory methods of UIEvents::MouseEvent fallible'
have been squashed into this commit.
Note that as of this commit, there aren't any such throwers, and the
call site in Heap::allocate will drop exceptions on the floor. This
commit only serves to change the declaration of the overrides, make sure
they return an empty value, and to propagate OOM errors frm their base
initialize invocations.
This needs to happen before prototype/constructor intitialization can be
made lazy. Otherwise, GC could run during the C++ constructor and try to
collect the object currently being created.
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
Move the macro to LibJS and change it to return a throw completion
instead of a WebIDL exception. This will let us use this macro within
LibJS to handle OOM conditions.
Note that js_rope_string() has been folded into this, the old name was
misleading - it would not always create a rope string, only if both
sides are not empty strings. Use a three-argument create() overload
instead.
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 :^)
