The patch adds to NativeArray.put a check for (this == start) so the
length field or a dense array element would not be updated if this !=
start. The following script exposes the problem:
function Test() { }
var array = new Array(0, 0); // Trigger dense mode
Test.prototype = array;
var test = new Test();
array[0] = 1;
test[0] = 2;
print(array[0]); // Should print 1, not 2
-----
When initially I switched NativeDate to use IdScritable, I made
toGMTString just an alias to toUTCString. Later I realized that it could
cause troubles if someone would check Date.prototype.toGMTString.name to
get "toUTCString" so I made the code to allocate a separated IdFunction
to toUTCString. Now when I read ecma 3 appendixes I see that the initial
behavior is what actually Ecma 3 requires. Here is an extract from B.2.6:
The Function object that is the initial value of
Date.prototype.toGMTString is the same Function
object that is the initial value of Date.prototype.toUTCString.
Sometimes doing nothing is the best solution...
The attached patch fixes that and inlines many 1-3 lines functions as
optimization that java compilers typically do not want to do...
1. Keyword search via Java Hahstable is replaced by explicit "switch"
code generated by idswitch tool. It not only speed up keyword search and
eliminates all Integer objects created to hold keyword tokens and
corresponding Hahstable structures, but it also reduces code size due to
very poor array initialization support in JVM.
2. It replaces the isXDigit method by xDigitToInt that either converts
its argument to 0..15 or returns -1 if it is not a hex digit and updates
the method usage accordingly The patch updates NativeGlobal.js_unescape
to reflect this usage change.
In the attached patch I added documentation, did some inlining in the
get method implementation to gain some speed and overrode defineProperty
so it plays better with id-based properties.
-----
The patch fixes a bug in getIds method where the assignment "result =
tmp" was missed, adds the public method activateIdMap(int maxId) to
IdScriptable and changes setAttributes method not to allow setting of
attributes that are less restrictive then ones returned by
getIdDefaultAttributes. That was supposed to be the case and the patch
makes it explicit.
-----
The patch makes BaseFunction.setImmunePrototypeProperty public so it can
be called from other packages (regexp).
-----
The patch switches NativeRegExp and NativeRegExpCtor to use
IdScriptable. It also changes code in a few places to passes Context and
RegExpImpl directly instead of using Context.getCurrentContext().
The patch also fixes a bug when
for (var i in RegExp) { print(i); }
would not include $1..$9 in the output in violation with Ecma. It was
caused by not overriding ScriptableObject.getIds in
NativeRegExpCtor.
-----
The patch changes NativeCall to use IdScriptable. This is done mostly
for uniformity with other Native* classes plus it would allow to call
NativeCall.init directly and make NativeCall package private.
-----
The patch changes NativeScript to use id-based properties. Due to
inheritance from NativeFunction, id support requires to take into
account the fact that there are instance ids available from
BaseFunction. This is the reason to use "int prototypeIdShift" instead
of "boolean prototypeFlag" so it can store instance id offset.
The patch updates ScriptRuntime.callOrNewSpecial to check against
IdFunction and not FunctionObject for the Script exec method where it
also add finally clause to make sure that Context.exit would always be
called after Context.enter in the evalScript method.
-----
After converting NativeScript and NativeFunction to use IdScriptable,
they get scope argument directly as a parameter of execMethod call, so
cx.ctorScope is not used any more. The patch removes code to set/unset
cx.ctorScope.
-----
[This patch depends on conversion of NativeScript and NativeCall to use
IdScriptable and the patch to remove access of ctorScope from
FunctionObject]
The patch changes Context.initStandardObjects to call NativeCall.init
and NativeScript.init directly plus it unrolls the lazily initialization
loop. Due to rather poor support of an array initialization in Java byte
code, it actually decreases code size while eliminating are creation of
array object. The patch also removes ctorScope field as unused.
-----
The patch makes sure that ids used by NativeGlobal are visible only in
the object instance that initializes global scope and removes some junk
white space at line ends.
-----
To use the idswitch tool to generate map for strings that can not be
part of Id_ Java identifier like $*, I added code to the tool to look
for "// #string=...#" in the id definition line. The attached README
file also contains some documentation about the tool and should go to
idswitch directory.
The patch was made from toolsrc/org/mozilla/javascript/tools via:
cvs diff -u > idswitch_patch
to grows, shrinks, and compresses. This helps JS_DHashTableOperate callers
who hold returned entry pointers to validate those pointers and avoid having
to re-lookup an entry by its key.
- Balance that addition by removing JSDHashTable.sizeMask, which is induced by
JSDHashTable.sizeLog2 at the cost of two typically single-cycle instructions.
- Use JSDHashTable.generation in jsobj.c to avoid unsafely dereferencing an
entry pointer held across calls to JSClass.resolve from js_LookupProperty,
which may recur and add entries to cx->resolving, growing that table and
invalidating entry pointers held by earlier js_LookupProperty activations.

----
The patch changes Notification to extend from BaseFunction and adjusts
Context, FunctionObject and NativeScript accordingly.
----
The patch changes BaseFunction.jsConstructor to use the scope argument
passed to execMethod instead of using cx.ctorScope. This argument is
null in this case because when calling execMethod IdFunction.construct
does not set cx.ctorScope because scope is passed to execMethod as argument.
