This is needed for bug 1500926. It takes the approach of taking a JSFlatString
and using AutoAssertCannotGC to read the memory directly from the JS heap.
This lets us avoid re-encoding strings when performing lookups, which can be
advantageous.
Only ASCII strings are supported by this handler, and wide strings are hashed
as though they contain only values under 0x7f. This is OK as invalid keys to
perfecthash may return any hashtable entry.

Since the ABI on this platform just uses the ARM procedure call
standard, which is the same standard Unix uses, we can just
copy-and-paste everything, with some adjustments to the assembly code to
compile properly.
This patch allows us to define methods or getters/setters for any of the
current set of well-known symbols. Those are defined by adding the [symbol]
attribute to a method:
[symbol]
Iterator iterator();
which causes the method to define a property with the well-known symbol which
matches its method name (Symbol.iterator, in this case).
Due to the implementation details of the XPIDL parser, this currently does not
support defining a non-symbol function with the same name as a symbol
function:
[symbol]
Iterator iterator();
[binaryname(OtherIterator)]
Thing iterator(in nsIDRef aIID);
throws for a duplicate method name, even though there is no actual conflict.

Summary:
This patch ports xptcodegen.py over to the new perfecthash.py system, removing
some special-case code generators, and taking advantage of the easier-to-use
interface.
In addition, the code was changed to take advantage of the endianness
information from Part 2, allowing us to avoid having to perform endianness swaps
at runtime when hashing nsIDs.

Bug #: 1475409
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D2114
Summary:
This patch adds support for the `Sequence<T>` type. This is largely a
straightforward type propagation patch, but there are a few notable things:
1. We allow `[iid_is(x)] Sequence<nsQIResult>`, so Sequence can be Dependent.
2. `Sequence<T>` is reflected into C++ as a `nsTArray<T>`, which is different
than WebIDL's `mozilla::dom::Sequence<T>` type. This decision was made for
general ergonomics reasons, as `nsTArray<T>` is more prevailent throughout
the codebase, and lengths in this case cannot be controlled by content, as
XPConnect is only exposed to Chrome JS.
3. Owned pointers in `Sequence<T>` are not reflected as their owned
counterparts. For example, `Sequence<nsISupports>` is reflected as
`nsTArray<nsISupports*>` rather than `nsTArray<RefPtr<nsISupports>>`. This
was done to avoid depending on `RefPtr<T>` and `T*` having the same
in-memory representation, however if that is considered an acceptable
dependency, it would be nice to support that.
4. We also don't reflect singly-owned pointers as their owned counterparts. For
example, `nsTArray<nsIIDPtr>` would be reflected as `nsTArray<nsIID*>`
rather than `nsTArray<mozilla::UniquePtr<nsIID>>`. If we are willing to
depend on `mozilla::UniquePtr<T>`'s in-memory representation, we could also
do this, however.
5. There are no restrictions on what types can appear inside of a `Sequence<T>`
or what can appear inside an `[array] T`. We may want to add restrictions
either at the xpidl level or in XPConnect.

These types require initialization before they can be read into. Currently this
initialization for parameters is directly handled by XPCWrappedNative's
CallMethodHelper object.
This patch introduces a new function to the `xpc` namespace to initialize a

The deletions in xptcall are when we don't even have support for the CPU
in moz.configure, so I assume that people haven't been compiling on
those architectures for quite some time.
The current code is somewhat non-obvious to a first-time reader, and
OS_TEST is a bizarre thing anyway, since it's actually the name of the
CPU we're running on. We'd do well to minimize the use of OS_TEST.
Note that the complete nuking of the xptcall/md/unix/moz.build lines are
because we don't support OS X/x86 anymore.
Currently XPCVariant has some code for working with arrays of a series of basic
types. I want to unify and simplify code which works with nsXPTTypes to always
take the topmost level type (rather than passing in an array element type when
working with an array).
This is pretty easy for most of XPConnect, but XPCVariant occasionally needs to
perform calls on made-up array types, which isn't compatible with the current
implementation. Fortunately, it only needs a very small set of array types. This
patch adds a set of simple types (mostly the arithmetic types and
TD_INTERFACE_IS_TYPE for interfaces) to the extra types array unconditionally
with a known index, for XPCVariant.
An other option I was considering was to consider the value `0xff` in the data
byte on nsXPTType to be a flag which indicates that the array element type is
actually the type immediately following the current nsXPTType object in memory,
but that was incompatible with many of the existing nsXPTType consumers which
copy the nsXPTType objects around (e.g. onto the stack), rather than always
using them by reference, so I decided it was not a good approach to take.
In XPConnect, native values are passed around within nsXPTCMiniVariant objects.
an [nsXPTCMiniVariant] contains 64-bits of data in a union type.
nsXPTCMiniVariant values are created by the platform-specific glue code and
passed into XPConnect proper when calling from C++ into JS.
When calling from JS into C++, we instead create nsXPTCVariant objects and pass
them into the glue code. These objects have extra information in addition to the
nsXPTCMiniVariant: namely they also have a `type` field with the type stored in
the variant, space for flags, and a `ptr` field which is passed over IPC instead
of the inner nsXPTCMiniVariant when a flag (`PTR_IS_DATA`) is set.
The JSValue type in XPConnect is always passed as a pointer to a JSValue object,
both for in parameters and out parameters. This is handled by making the JSValue
type be unconditionally flagged as [`IsIndirect()`] This flag is also used for
all types of outparameters.
When the `IsIndirect()` flag is set, it means that the actual data is stored in
the nsXPTCVariant's val field, and it sets the flag to tell the glue code to
instead pass the `ptr` field (which is always pointing to the `val` field for
[legacy reasons]) into the C++ code.
In contrast "dipper" is a different and super weird flag. Currently only the
string class types (nsACString & nsAString) are marked as "dipper". A "dipper"
type is always passed as an "in" type (and thus always passed "directly"), even
when it's actually an out parameter.
XPConnect treats these types as though they are pointer types (nsAString*). This
means that there is no space in the nsXPTCVariant to store the actual nsAString
types when passing from JS into C++, so these values have to be allocated by a
different mechanism (in the current code, there is a size 2 buffer for each
string type in the context and once that buffer is exceeded, we heap allocate
the nsString values).
In effect, the current state looks something like this:
+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| type | out (xpt/native) | in (xpt/native) |
+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| TD_INT32 | indirect (int32_t*) | direct (int32_t) |
+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| TD_JSVAL | indirect (JSValue*) | indirect (JSValue*) |
+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| TD_ASTRING | direct (nsAString*) | direct (nsAString*) |
+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
This patch ensures there is enough space in the nsXPTCVariant to fit the
nsString value, and switches string class types to being unconditionally
indirect instead of using the dipper system. This allows us to delete a ton of
dipper-specific code, and unify the indirect and string class codepaths.
This only affects the size of nsXPTCVariant objects, and does not affect
nsXPTCMiniVariant objects. nsXPTCVariant objects are never allocated by the
platform-specific binding code, rather, they are allocated in an AutoTArray on
the stack as part of the CallMethodHelper object.
The size increase is a total of 1 word, so 4 bytes in 32-bit builds, and 8 bytes
in 64-bit builds, which is ignorable for stack allocated objects.
