We already did this but it called the @@iterator method of
%Array.prototype% visible to the user for example by overriding that
method. This should not be visible so we use a special version of
SuperCall now.
Since tagged template literals can inspect the raw string it is not a
syntax error to have invalid escapes. However the cooked value should be
`undefined`.
We accomplish this by tracking whether parse_string_literal
fails and then using a NullLiteral (since UndefinedLiteral is not a
thing) and finally converting null in tagged template execution to
undefined.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
While adding spec comments to PerformEval, I noticed we were missing
multiple steps.
Namely, these were:
- Checking if the host will allow us to compile the string
(allowing LibWeb to perform CSP for eval)
- The parser's initial state depending on the environment around us
on direct eval:
- Allowing new.target via eval in functions
- Allowing super calls and super properties via eval in classes
- Disallowing the use of the arguments object in class field
initializers at eval's parse time
- Setting ScriptOrModule of eval's execution context
The spec allows us to apply the additional parsing steps in any order.
The method I have gone with is passing in a struct to the parser's
constructor, which overrides the parser's initial state to (dis)allow
the things stated above from the get-go.
The same expression is not allowed to contain both the
logical && and || operators, and the coalescing ?? operator.
This patch changes how "forbidden" tokens are handled, using a
finite set instead of an Vector. This supports much more efficient
merging of the forbidden tokens when propagating forward, and
allowing the return of forbidden tokens to parent contexts.
This patch makes check_identifier_name_for_assignment_validity()
take a FlyString instead of a StringView. We then exploit this by
passing FlyString in more places via flystring_value().
This gives a ~1% speedup when parsing the largest Discord JS file.
When parsing identifiers, we ultimately want to sink the token string
into a FlyString anyway, and since Token may have a FlyString already
inside it, this allows us to bypass the costly FlyString(StringView).
This gives a ~3% speedup when parsing the largest Discord JS file.
Everyone who calls this already has a FlyString, so we were doing *way*
more work by pessimizing it to a StringView.
This gives a ~2% speedup when parsing the largest Discord JS file.
This removes a number of vm.exception() checks which are now caught
directly by TRY. Make use of these checks in
{Global, Eval}DeclarationInstantiation and while we're here add spec
comments.
Because we can have arbitrary in- and export names with strings we can
have '*' and '' which means using '*' as an indicating namespace imports
failed / behaved incorrectly for string imports '*'.
We now use more specific types to indicate these special states instead
of these 'magic' string values.
Do note that 'default' is not actually a magic string value but one
specified by the spec. And you can in fact export the default value by
doing: `export { 1 as default }`.
The big changes are:
- Allow strings as Module{Export, Import}Name
- Properly track declarations in default export statements
However, the spec is a little strange in that it allows function and
class declarations without a name in default export statements.
This is quite hard to fully implement without rewriting more of the
parser so for now this behavior is emulated by faking things with
function and class expressions. See the comments in
parse_export_statement for details on the hacks and where it goes wrong.
The three major changes are:
- Parsing parameters, the function body, and then the full assembled
function source all separately. This is required by the spec, as
function parameters and body must be valid each on their own, which
cannot be guaranteed if we only ever parse the full function.
- Returning an ECMAScriptFunctionObject instead of a FunctionExpression
that needs to be evaluated separately. This vastly simplifies the
{Async,AsyncGenerator,Generator,}Function constructor implementations.
Drop '_node' from the function name accordingly.
- The prototype is now determined via GetPrototypeFromConstructor and
passed to OrdinaryFunctionCreate.
The parentheses are dealt with outside this function, so we shouldn't
use the (non)existence of one as the condition for consuming another
comma and then parameter. Just check for a comma instead. This becomes
relevant when parsing standalone function parameters as per the spec in
the CreateDynamicFunction AO.
The curly braces are not part of the FunctionBody production. This
becomes relevant when parsing a standalone function body as per the spec
in the CreateDynamicFunction AO.
This includes:
- Parsing proper LabelledStatements with try_parse_labelled_statement()
- Removing LabelableStatement
- Implementing the LoopEvaluation semantics via loop_evaluation() in
each IterationStatement subclass; and IterationStatement evaluation
via {For,ForIn,ForOf,ForAwaitOf,While,DoWhile}Statement::execute()
- Updating ReturnStatement, BreakStatement and ContinueStatement to
return the appropriate completion types
- Basically reimplementing TryStatement and SwitchStatement according to
the spec, using completions
- Honoring result completion types in AsyncBlockStart and
OrdinaryCallEvaluateBody
- Removing any uses of the VM unwind mechanism - most importantly,
VM::throw_exception() now exclusively sets an exception and no longer
triggers any unwinding mechanism.
However, we already did a good job updating all of LibWeb and userland
applications to not use it, and the few remaining uses elsewhere don't
rely on unwinding AFAICT.
Although those are the only valid options parse_primary_expression is
sometimes called when only an expression is valid which means it did not
check match_expression and might fail the now removed VERIFY.
This allows us to only perform checks like export bindings existing only
for modules. Also this makes it easier to set strict and other state
variables with TemporaryChanges.
In static init blocks 'await' cannot be used. Note that this does not
cover all the cases since the parser currently cannot distinguish
between expressions within parenthesis and direct expressions.
This commit adds support for the most bare bones version of async
functions, support for async generator functions, async arrow functions
and await expressions are TODO.
This is necessary as we might have to perform named evaluation with the
field name.
Ideally we would also skip some setup parts of the function like
function_declaration_instantiation however this would require bigger
changes to ECMAScriptFunctionObject.
This saves having to save and load the parser state.
This could give an incorrect token in some cases where the parser
communicates to the lexer. However this is not applicable in any of the
current usages and this would require one to parse the current token
as normal which is exactly what you don't want to do in that scenario.
This commit partially reverts "LibJS: Make accessing the current
function's arguments cheaper".
While the change passed all the currently passing test262 tests, it
seems to have _some_ flaw that silently breaks with some real-world
websites.
As the speedup with negligible at best, let's just revert it until we
can implement it more correctly.
We now propagate this flag to FunctionDeclaration, and then also into
ECMAScriptFunctionObject.
This will be used to disable optimizations that aren't safe in the
presence of direct eval().
Instead of going through an environment record, make arguments of the
currently executing function generate references via the argument index,
which can later be resolved directly through the ExecutionContext.
This gives FunctionNode a "might need arguments object" boolean flag and
sets it based on the simplest possible heuristic for this: if we
encounter an identifier called "arguments" or "eval" up to the next
(nested) function declaration or expression, we won't need an arguments
object. Otherwise, we *might* need one - the final decision is made in
the FunctionDeclarationInstantiation AO.
Now, this is obviously not perfect. Even if you avoid eval, something
like `foo.arguments` will still trigger a false positive - but it's a
start and already massively cuts down on needlessly allocated objects,
especially in real-world code that is often minified, and so a full
"arguments" identifier will be an actual arguments object more often
than not.
To illustrate the actual impact of this change, here's the number of
allocated arguments objects during a full test-js run:
Before:
- Unmapped arguments objects: 78765
- Mapped arguments objects: 2455
After:
- Unmapped arguments objects: 18
- Mapped arguments objects: 37
This results in a ~5% speedup of test-js on my Linux host machine, and
about 3.5% on i686 Serenity in QEMU (warm runs, average of 5).
The following microbenchmark (calling an empty function 1M times) runs
25% faster on Linux and 45% on Serenity:
function foo() {}
for (var i = 0; i < 1_000_000; ++i)
foo();
test262 reports no changes in either direction, apart from a speedup :^)
Before this we used an ad-hoc combination of references and 'variables'
stored in a hashmap. This worked in most cases but is not spec like.
Additionally hoisting, dynamically naming functions and scope analysis
was not done properly.
This patch fixes all of that by:
- Implement BindingInitialization for destructuring assignment.
- Implementing a new ScopePusher which tracks the lexical and var
scoped declarations. This hoists functions to the top level if no
lexical declaration name overlaps. Furthermore we do checking of
redeclarations in the ScopePusher now requiring less checks all over
the place.
- Add methods for parsing the directives and statement lists instead
of having that code duplicated in multiple places. This allows
declarations to pushed to the appropriate scope more easily.
- Remove the non spec way of storing 'variables' in
DeclarativeEnvironment and make Reference follow the spec instead of
checking both the bindings and 'variables'.
- Remove all scoping related things from the Interpreter. And instead
use environments as specified by the spec. This also includes fixing
that NativeFunctions did not produce a valid FunctionEnvironment
which could cause issues with callbacks and eval. All
FunctionObjects now have a valid NewFunctionEnvironment
implementation.
- Remove execute_statements from Interpreter and instead use
ASTNode::execute everywhere this simplifies AST.cpp as you no longer
need to worry about which method to call.
- Make ScopeNodes setup their own environment. This uses four
different methods specified by the spec
{Block, Function, Eval, Global}DeclarationInstantiation with the
annexB extensions.
- Implement and use NamedEvaluation where specified.
Additionally there are fixes to things exposed by these changes to eval,
{for, for-in, for-of} loops and assignment.
Finally it also fixes some tests in test-js which where passing before
but not now that we have correct behavior :^).
Since there are only a number of statements where labels can actually be
used we now also only store labels when necessary.
Also now tracks the first continue usage of a label since this might not
be valid but that can only be determined after we have parsed the
statement.
Also ensures the correct error does not get wiped by load_state.
If the next token isn't a TokenType::Colon (:), this can't possibly be a
labelled statement, so we can fail before having to save_state().
This improves parsing time on a large chunk of JS by ~12.5%.
The save/load of parser state performed by lookahead parsing is quite
expensive so let's try to avoid it in the most common case.
This is a 15-20% speedup on various chunks of JS I've tested. :^)
These are tested by test262 but the current test262-runner reads the
files in python which automatically converts \r\n to \n.
This meant that we passed the tests while we should not have.
Our existing implementation did not check the element type of the other
pointer in the constructors and move assignment operators. This meant
that some operations that would require explicit casting on raw pointers
were done implicitly, such as:
- downcasting a base class to a derived class (e.g. `Kernel::Inode` =>
`Kernel::ProcFSDirectoryInode` in Kernel/ProcFS.cpp),
- casting to an unrelated type (e.g. `Promise<bool>` => `Promise<Empty>`
in LibIMAP/Client.cpp)
This, of course, allows gross violations of the type system, and makes
the need to type-check less obvious before downcasting. Luckily, while
adding the `static_ptr_cast`s, only two truly incorrect usages were
found; in the other instances, our casts just needed to be made
explicit.
And also try_create<T> => try_make_ref_counted<T>.
A global "create" was a bit much. The new name matches make<T> better,
which we've used for making single-owner objects since forever.
- Fix some places where escaped keywords are (not) allowed.
- Be more strict about parameters for functions with 'use strict'.
- Fix that expressions statements allowed functions and classes.
- Fix that class expressions were not allowed.
- Added a new next_token() method for checking the look ahead.
- Fix that continue labels could jump to non iterating targets.
- Fix that generator functions cannot be declared in if statements.
Added a test to ensure the behavior stays the same.
We now throw on a direct usage of an escaped keywords with a specific
error to make it more clear to the user.
For example, "property.br\u{64}wn" should resolve to "property.brown".
To support this behavior, this commit changes the Token class to hold
both the evaluated identifier name and a view into the original source
for the unevaluated name. There are some contexts in which identifiers
are not allowed to contain Unicode escape sequences; for example, export
statements of the form "export {} from foo.js" forbid escapes in the
identifier "from".
The test file is added to .prettierignore because prettier will replace
all escaped Unicode sequences with their unescaped value.
This is a small step in the right direction although the amount of
different checks is becoming unsustainable. In the future we probably
want to have the current_scope handle all declarations.
