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
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.
We now care (a little bit) about the "configurable" and "writable"
property attributes.
Property attributes are stored together with the property name in
the Shape object. Forward transitions are not attribute-savvy and will
cause poor Shape reuse in the case of multiple same-name properties
with different attributes.
Oh, and this patch also adds Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor() :^)
This adds Function::construct() for constructor function calls via `new`
keyword. NativeFunction doesn't have constructor behaviour by default,
ScriptFunction simply calls call() in construct()
Native functions now only get the Interpreter& as an argument. They can
then extract |this| along with any indexed arguments it wants from it.
This forces functions that want |this| to actually deal with calling
interpreter.this_value().to_object(), and dealing with the possibility
of a non-object |this|.
This is still not great but let's keep massaging it forward.
