Produce JS-visible string results as UTF-16 at their source, including
numeric formatting, BigInt and BigFraction formatting, URI encoding,
console formatting, parser errors, regular expression errors, Intl and
Temporal records, LibUnicode locale boundaries, and LibWeb bindings.
Handle fractional radix formatting through the UTF-16 builder view.
Thread UTF-16 string input through JSON, script parsing, Date parsing,
Intl option parsing, Temporal parsing, and the helper library boundaries
that feed those parsers. Preserve ASCII fast paths where the source data
is known to be ASCII.
Move the remaining LibJS primitive string users to UTF-16 views and
strings. Remove the primitive string UTF-8 accessors and byte-string
coercion paths so new callers cannot rely on the old storage model.
Keep primitive string storage in Utf16String and remove the UTF-8
storage path from PrimitiveString. ASCII strings still use compact
Utf16String ASCII storage, while UTF-16 becomes the only owned
representation.
Port more UTF-16 string construction sites to Utf16StringBuilder.
This covers JSON serialization, URI escaping, RegExp replacement, date
and Temporal formatting, Uint8Array hex conversion, and stack string
formatting. Keep byte-oriented debug, bytecode, parser, and print
plumbing on StringBuilder.
Add a checked JS string length sum helper and use it for accumulation
paths that append JS-observable string pieces.
Port straightforward JS string construction sites to Utf16StringBuilder.
Make ASCII appends explicit with append_ascii(), and leave byte-output,
formatted-output, and printer plumbing on StringBuilder where that API
still matches the caller.
Add a small checked JS string length product helper. Use it for
String.prototype.repeat() before constructing the repeated result. Keep
the maximum string length policy in LibJS while allowing the UTF-16
builder to remain purpose-built and infallible. Cover overflow from the
final repeated code-unit length in the repeat tests.
Enable -Wexit-time-destructors for all in-tree library targets and
update process-lifetime library statics so they no longer register
exit-time destructors. Long-lived caches, lookup tables, singleton
registries, and generated constants now use NeverDestroyed or leaked
references where the data is intended to live until process exit.
Update LibWeb, LibLine, and the binding generators so regenerated
sources follow the same rule instead of reintroducing destructed
statics.
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 is an editorial change in the ECMA-402 spec. See:
https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/commit/a2beb66
We implement this change by introducing a virtual interface that all
Intl "service" objects must implement. A future patch will make use of
the virtualized RelevantExtensionKeys and ResolutionOptionDescriptors
accessors, and we will need to be able to use those slots from a generic
instance type.
The Duration record no longer exists in Temporal. Implement it according
to the DurationFormat spec to prepare for its removal from our Temporal
implementation.
We also implement the DurationSign AO here as well, as the Temporal
implementation will now require a Temporal.Duration JS object.
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
