With the addition of symbol keys, work can now be done on starting to
implement the well-known symbol functionality. The most important of
these well-known symbols is by far Symbol.iterator.
This patch adds IteratorPrototype, as well as ArrayIterator and
ArrayIteratorPrototype. In the future, sometime after StringIterator has
also been added, this will allow us to use Symbol.iterator directly in
for..of loops, enabling the use of custom iterator objects. Also makes
adding iterator support to native objects much easier (as will have to
be done for Map and Set, when they get added).
Instead of taking the JS::Heap&. This allows us to get rid of some
calls to JS::Interpreter::global_object(). We're getting closer and
closer to multiple global objects. :^)
To allow implementing the DOM class hierarchy in JS bindings, this
patch adds an inherits() function that can be used to ask an Object
if it inherits from a specific C++ class (by name).
The necessary overrides are baked into each Object subclass by the
new JS_OBJECT macro, which works similarly to C_OBJECT in LibCore.
Thanks to @Dexesttp for suggesting this approach. :^)
To make sure that everything is set up correctly in objects before we
start adding properties to them, we split cell allocation into 3 steps:
1. Allocate a cell of appropriate size from the Heap
2. Call the C++ constructor on the cell
3. Call initialize() on the constructed object
The job of initialize() is to define all the initial properties.
Doing it in a second pass guarantees that the Object has a valid Shape
and can find its own GlobalObject.
More work towards supporting multiple global objects. Native C++ code
now get a GlobalObject& and don't have to ask the Interpreter for it.
I've added macros for declaring and defining native callbacks since
this was pretty tedious and this makes it easier next time we want to
change any of these signatures.
Previously, the Object class had many different types of functions for
each action. For example: get_by_index, get(PropertyName),
get(FlyString). This is a bit verbose, so these methods have been
shortened to simply use the PropertyName structure. The methods then
internally call _by_index if necessary. Note that the _by_index
have been made private to enforce this change.
Secondly, a clear distinction has been made between "putting" and
"defining" an object property. "Putting" should mean modifying a
(potentially) already existing property. This is akin to doing "a.b =
'foo'".
This implies two things about put operations:
- They will search the prototype chain for setters and call them, if
necessary.
- If no property exists with a particular key, the put operation
should create a new property with the default attributes
(configurable, writable, and enumerable).
In contrast, "defining" a property should completely overwrite any
existing value without calling setters (if that property is
configurable, of course).
Thus, all of the many JS objects have had any "put" calls changed to
"define_property" calls. Additionally, "put_native_function" and
"put_native_property" have had their "put" replaced with "define".
Finally, "put_own_property" has been made private, as all necessary
functionality should be exposed with the put and define_property
methods.
This patch adds instance, constructor and prototype classes for:
- EvalError
- InternalError
- RangeError
- ReferenceError
- SyntaxError
- TypeError
- URIError
Enumerator macros are used to reduce the amount of typing. :^)
This patch adds very basic XMLHttpRequest support to LibWeb. Here's an
example that currently works:
var callback = function() { alert(this.responseText); }
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.addEventListener("load", callback);
xhr.open("GET", "http://serenityos.org/~kling/test/example.txt");
xhr.send();
There are many limitations and bugs, but it's pretty dang awesome that
we have XHR. :^)
LibWeb now creates a WindowObject which inherits from GlobalObject.
Allocation of the global object is moved out of the Interpreter ctor
to allow for specialized construction.
The existing Window interfaces are moved to WindowObject with their
implementation code in the new Window class.
Instead of implementing every native function as a lambda function,
use static member functions instead.
This makes it easier to navigate the code + backtraces look nicer. :^)
