- Switch improvements:
- JSOP_CONDSWITCH is a 1 byte nop, not variable length with the same kind
of immediate operand as JSOP_LOOKUPSWITCH (which is useless except for
decompilation). New scheme uses SRC_COMMA notes on each JSOP_CASE opcode,
usually 2 bytes per note, and a typically-1-byte 2nd offset on SRC_SWITCH:
1 + 2 * ncases
vs. the previous JSOP_LOOKUPSWITCH immediate, which consumed:
4 * ncases
bytes after the switch opcode just for decompilation.
- SRC_SWITCH has two offsets, first to end of switch as before, the second
to first case if JSOP_CONDSWITCH, for decompilation.
- Optimize switches with all-constant cases using JSOP_TABLESWITH, or if
that can't be used, JSOP_LOOKUPSWITCH, before falling back on ECMAv2's
JSOP_CONDSWITCH.
- Use cx->gcDisabled when evaluating case exprs at compile time for old,
pre-ECMAv2 switches, to prevent branch-callback-based GC invocations
from ripping apart the unrooted temporary script for each case expr.
- Fixed up stale SRC_SWITCH comments in jsemit.h.
jsemit.c jsemit.h
- TREE_CONTEXT_INIT to match ATOM_LIST_INIT, not English word order.
- Reorganized JSCodeGenerator to sort of match argument order to
js_InitCodeGenerator.
- Got rid of confusing CG_RESET* macros and used memset(cg, 0, sizeof *cg)
and non-zero-default init in js_InitCodeGenerator. js_ResetCodeGenerator
just releases the code and temp arena pools and leaves the cg in a state
where it must be re-initialized (as before, but more obvious).
- In the same spirit, don't do partial "resets" or src and trynotes in their
js_FinishTaking*Notes functions -- those are friends of jsscript.c and are
not general, idempotent functions.
jsapi.c jsapi.h jsarray.c jsatom.c jsatom.h jscntxt.c jsemit.c jsmsg.def
jsnum.c jsobj.c jsopcode.c jsregexp.c jsscan.c jsstr.c jsxdrapi.
- Use PR_snprintf rather than sprintf always, so we don't have to worry
about systems with 64-bit longs that overflow 12-byte buffers and open
Morris-Worm-type security holes.
- Trim extra spaces, fix hanging indentation, and similar anal retention.
- Renamed JSMSG_BAD_PROTO_SORT to JSMSG_BAD_SORT_ARG cuz that's what it
is complaining about.
- SRC_CATCHGUARD still lived in comments, but it's SRC_CATCH in code.
jscntxt.c jscntxt.h jsinterp.c
- Packed nearby JSPackedBools and added a new one: gcDisabled, for use by
jsemit.c's pre-ECMAv2 switch case expr eval.
- Rip out old js_InterpreterHooks stuff from original liveconnect (moja).
- Remove javaData and savedErrors from JSContext. Leaving it to fur or
shaver to remove javaData from jsscript.h.
word neologism, not two words.
- Use consistent neighboring terseness ("error" rather than "err" in intercaps
identifiers).
- Don't leave pointers in JSErrorReport to freed memory if bailing on OOM in
jscntxt.c:js_ExpandErrorArguments.
- Hanging indentation, code fusion via continue, and other misc. cleanups.
Including:
Preliminary work on internationalizing error messages
Preliminary work on exposing runtime errors as catchable exceptions
ECMA-proposed throw and try/catch/finally, with multiple catch clauses
and catchguards
ECMA-proposed in/instanceof operators
IEEE-conformant number to string conversion
Fixes and other good stuff.
development branch:
- Preliminary exception handling per
ECMA proposal; try, multiple
catchblocks, and finally. Catchblocks
are of the form catch (v) or
catch(v:<guard>), where guard is an
optional boolean expression that is
evaluated to determine whether the
exception is to be caught by that block.
- ECMA-proposed 'in' operator; "'foo' in
o" or "4 in o" asks if o has property
foo or element 4.
- Added a new set of defines in
jsconfig.h for js 1.4
features-in-progress. (in, instanceof,
exception handling.) Default build
version is now 1.4. Fixed a few
conditional features that had become
broken.
- Progress towards porting to FreeBSD
and Alpha; casts of NaN and friends to
int are a little more localized. Not
there yet...
- New config files to compile on more
OSes; various fixes to improve
portability.
cast until after the double in question has been determined to be
finite, not NaN, etc. This may make the code a little more XP for
platforms like BSD and Alpha Linux that don't like casting strange
values to int. Thanks go to Uncle George <gatgul@voicenet.com> and
hankin <hankin@consultco.com> for their porting work.
- Revise exception handling runtime info (now called trynotes a la srcnotes)
for more efficient loop control under JSOP_THROW. Avoid all uses of catch
and throw while at it, to make C++ lusers happy.
- Combine JSStackFrame.exception with rval, and rename
JSStackFrame.exceptPending to be ...throwing.
- Optimize JS_TypeOfValue a bit.
- Name, control flow, whitespace, etc. cleanup.
