xpconnect had been printing it's large "js component threw exception" whenever chatzilla's socket code threw NS_BASE_STREAM_WOULD_BLOCK from it's streamprovider (a non-error nsresult, bah.) This patch adds the exception to the "suppression list", to quiet the debug message.
I looked into this somewhat and I noticed the following:
1) There is a bug in Interpreter.java, line 1695. It sets the variable "i" to
the line number of the special call, but overwrites it on line 1699. It then
passes this value to ScriptRuntime.callSpecial
2) In "generateScriptICode" in Interpreter.java the variable
itsData.itsSourceFile fails to be set to itsSourceFile. This causes a null
source file name to be passed to handleCompilationDone when "Widget.js" is
compiled. That is why you
initially see "<stdin>, line 6" when the debugger comes up (the debugger
interprets a null source name as "stdin"). I simply modified it as follows
(this might not be the right thing to do?):
private InterpretedScript generateScriptICode(Context cx,
Scriptable scope,
Node tree,
Object securityDomain)
{
itsSourceFile = (String) tree.getProp(Node.SOURCENAME_PROP);
itsData.itsSourceFile = itsSourceFile;
...
and that corrected the problem.
However there seems to be no way for the debugger to detect that the script
passed to handleCompilationDone() is the argument of an "eval()". So I modifed
NativeGlobal.evalSpecial() to munge the filename to indicate this (by appending
"(eval)" to it). That way a separate window is created in the debugger to hold
the compiled eval code. This is probably not be the best way to solve the
problem.
I have attached the files I modified.
Cheers,
Chris

Changes allow us to have a finer control over which parts of the tree are built with PIC. Part of the static build branch landing.
Bug #46775 r=mcafee a=leaf
jsdoc.js - added simple support for methods
Date:
Thu, 14 Jun 2001 09:12:26 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time)
From:

First off let me say thanks a lot for rhino. It is a really excellent piece
of software.
I am writing a large piece of js for making Excel2000 htm interactive on IE
and other browser such as Netscape6. Use a alot of code OO using methods
along the lines of:
/**
* Constructor
*/
function Type(x){
this.x = x;
}
/**
* Method
*/
Type.prototype.getX = function(){
return x;
}
var type = new Type('a');
var a = type.getX();
I have added to jsdoc.js so that finds and documents the method
declarations.
Attached is my modified jsdoc.js and a sample of the html that it generates
for the some of our proprietry :-( "Axel" code.
As an aside have you seen the job that www.blox.com have done on making a
dhtml spreadsheet? Bet they wished they could use exceptions in Netscape4!
Looking forward to the production JSDebugger. The tip version is great. It
does however seem to trash the view that it has of a file when an eval call
is made in that file. Is there a work around or will I have to wait till
the production version?
Thanks Again!

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.
