Currently in the interpreter mode all number literals are stored in
InterpreterData.itsICode as an index to InterpreterData.itsNumberTable
which holds the actual value.
For integers that fit 2 or 4 bytes this is an overkill and the attached
patch stores integers in InterpreterData.itsICode inline after special
TokenStream.INTNUMBER or TokenStream.SHORTNUMBERS tokens.
The changes made benchmarks to run 1.5% faster. It also saves memory
because InterpreterData.itsNumberTable is allocated only for non-integers
that present only in a small number of scripts.
In principle, it may be possible to store all numbers inline as well, but
unfortunately re-assembling of 8 bytes from InterpreterData.itsICode array
into double is rather slow operation and is not worth the hassles.

Hi, Norris!
Currently ScriptableObject.put does not check lastAccess cache during its search for
slots. When I added this check (see the attached patch) it speeded up the benchmark
suite by about 1.5% and in particular for setProp_bench.js the win was about 8%.
I think that even on multiprocessor machines it would not introduces any additional
issues like accessing the old value in the processor cache because the put method
accesses existing properties via unsynchronized getSlot, and the check for lastAccess
is on pair with that.
Trgards, Igor
When handling an Exception the Context tries to get the current script
and line number from the Java Stacktrace. To get the indication of which
entry in the trace might be an ECMA script, the file extension ".js" is
assumed.
For our integration we use the standard extension ".ecma" which collides
with the above assumption. But we don't force this extension, we just
have a convention. We name these files ".ecma" as they are not plain
ECMA but JSP-like ECMA. That is instead of using Java as the programming
language we use ECMA. In this respect they would be ".esp".
Patch fixes issue of not ignoring UNICODE format characters in match
and peek methods, adds explicit assertions checks for code assumptions
and makes handling of ASCII '\r', '\n' and UNICODE U+2028, U+2029 line
ends uniform.
It was rather tricky to fix format character issue and I spend some
time figuring out what TokenStream assumes about LineBuffer that
breaks my initial thoughts on the patch in cases like very long
sequences of format characters that do not fit in the buffer. I
fixed that but it made the code rather unclear so I put explicit
checks for assumptions/preconditions to help with debugging.
I added Context.check flag to turn on/off these checks and
Context.codeBug to throw an exception in case of check violations,
and also modified UintMap to use them instead of the private
flags there.
It would be nice to add some tests about format characters to the test
suite with checks similar to "eval('1 =\u200C= 1') == true" and
"eval('.\u200C1') == 0.1".
Hi, Norris!
I have found few problems with NativeArraj.java.
1. jsSet_length requires that the new length value should be an instance of Number. But according to Ecma 15.4.5.1, item 12-13, an error should be thrown only if ToUint32(length_value) != ToNumber(length_value). Here is a simple test that demonstrates it:
Array(5).length = new Number(1)
It currenly throws an exception.
2. jsSet_length when executing the code marked with "// assume that the representation is sparse" effectively removes all properties with values less then the current length when String is used to represent its value. Note that simply changing lines "if (d == d && d < length) delete(id);" to "if (d == d && d >= longVal) delete(id);" is not good because it would remove properties like "4.5" or "007", the full array index check has to be used instead.
Here is a test case that catches the problem:
var BIG_INDEX = 4294967290;
var a = Array(BIG_INDEX);
a[BIG_INDEX - 1] = 'a';
a[BIG_INDEX - 10000] = 'b';
a[BIG_INDEX - 0.5] = 'c';
a.length = BIG_INDEX - 5000;
var s = '';
for (var i in a) s += a[i];
print('s="'+s+'"');
this should print s='cb' (or 'bc': EcmaScript does not fix the order), but currently it gives s=''.
3. There are race conditions in jsSet_length and getIds.
The first contains:
if (hasElem(this, i))
ScriptRuntime.delete(this, new Long(i));
which would lead to call to delete in the Array prototype if 2 threads would invoke this code. Simply calling ScriptableObject.delete without any checks for existence is enough here.
getIds assumes that the count of present elements in the dense array does not change, which is not true when another thread deletes elements from dense.
The attached patch fixes these issues.

create a long chain of removed sentinels. Also, when adding k to a table
where k is not mapped, but where k hashes to a chain that includes removed
sentinels, recycle the first removed sentinel in the chain for k's entry.
2. Cache cx->resolving till js_DestroyContext, to avoid high JSDHashTable
new/destroy overhead in js_LookupProperty.
3. Add NS_TraceStack to nsTraceMalloc.[ch] and clean the .c file up a bit.
It would be nice if the rhino shell would accept a URL as the source
for javascript.
I've added this feature to my local copy so that I can launch rhino
with js scripts using JavaWebStart.
Below is a context diff of the changes I made to
toolsrc/org/mozilla/javascript/tools/shell/Main.java
There is a bug in the JavaMembers class called to wrap a Java object.
In JavaMembers.lookup(), code was added to override the static type. The
code works in the case of an Enumeration returning an Object which would
have to be casted to the appropriate type.
The code does not work when the static type is an interface. In this case,
the interface class is the one which should be reflected, not a parent class
of the dynamic type. A simple staticType.isInterface() check around the
parent traversal code fixes the problem.

I have found a couple problems with running Rhino 1.5R2 in a heavily
multi-threaded environment. The attached patches fix the problems.
- org.mozilla.javascript.optimizer.InvokerImpl - This class was accessing
the shared classNumber outside of the synchronized block.
- org.mozilla.javascript.optimizer.OptClassNameHelper - The reset method was
not synchronized. It needs to be because the class using the classNames map
is synchronized and does not handle nulling of the variable while it's
looping on the map.
Jeff
- The most significant fix, to keep JSStackFrame.spbase, the operand stack base pointer for an active frame, null except when there is an operand stack allocated and in use by js_Interpret. Previously, spbase would point after args and local vars (if any), then advance upon allocation of the (possibly discontiguous) operand stack space. This made for a fatal ambiguity: js_AllocStack, called by XPConnect, could not tell when there was allocated operand stack space above the frame's sp, which needs to be set to a known (JSVAL_VOID) state for exact GC to work. Now, the GC doesn't have to mark any operand stack space for a frame whose spbase is null, and js_AllocStack doesn't need to void any unused space for such a frame.
- Fixes to reload the JSRuntime's callHook or executeHook after calling or executing, in case the debugger removes the hook. In which case, it must clean up any dynamic memory held by hookData, but in any event, in which case the engine must not call the post-call or post-execute hook.
- While debugging with rginda, I was horrified to see his trivial testcase function, expressed as a lambda, fail to be invoked using the "inline_call" machinery in js_Interpret (which avoids js_Interpret recursion through js_Invoke for most JS functions). The problem was a test of fun->flags == 0 conditioning the /* inline_call: */ code. Since that test was written, at least one JSFUN_* flag (JSFUN_LAMBDA, used only for pretty-printing or accurate decompilation) has been added. But all along, that test was an over-optimization (testing against 0 without &'ing certain flags), making for an accident waiting to happen -- which did happen. The relevant flags are JSFUN_HEAVYWEIGHT (set by the compiler when a function calls eval, uses with, or otherwise needs an activation object for its scope; if lightweight, the compiler can see the function's scope and eliminate it via specialized bytecodes) and JSFUN_BOUND_METHOD (for Java method calls, where |this| binds statically to the instance, not dynamically to the calling expression reference's base object, as in JS).
don't allow gc's during script hooks if CAUTIOUS_SCRIPTHOOK is defined (which it is, by default.) Should help with stability until we can fix the real problems.
Use JSVAL_ macros instead of JSD_* calls in jsdValue::GetJSType method, avoiding two c++ frames per call.
Also, fixes for :
#91343, (non-latin1 fails for [\S])
#78156, (Unicode line terminator matching)
#87231, (/(A)?(A.*)/ didn't reset paren state for empty first match)

Hi Norris,
Did you or are you fixing this problem? It seems to be simply a matter
of filtering out -1 before inserting line numbers into the
lineNumberTable. In this particular case the Parser generates -1 as a
line number for (? : ) in IRFactory.createTernary(). However the recent
changes to InterpreterData to use UintMap instead of Hashtable will not
tolerate negative numbers. Changing Interpreter.updateLineNumber() and
InterpreterData.getOffset() to check for negative line numbers (and
avoid generating line number code or accessing the lineNumberTable in
that case) will correct the problem.

Rhino: use of Node.get/putIntProperty to store integer values
The patch replaces usage like
node.putProp(PROPERTY, new Integer(int_value))
((Integer)node.getProp(PROPERTY))
by
node.putIntProp(PROPERTY, int_value)
node.getIntProp(PROPERTY, defaultValue)
node.getExistingIntProp(PROPERTY)
to avoid creation of Integer wrapper objects while storing integer
properties in Nodes.
Patch also ads Node.removeProp to explicitly remove Node properties
=================================
The patch changes the type of the first argument of Interpreter.addByte
from byte to int so there is no need to cast int arguments, adds
addShort(int value, int iCodeTop), getShort(byte[] iCode, int pc) to
pack/unpack short values from pc array, replaces calls to
getString(stringTable, byte[] iCode, int pc) by
stringTable[getShort(iCode, pc)] and similar for getNumber
It makes Interpreter.java easy to follow and slightly shrink its class file.

Hi Norris,
Attached are some (final?) changes to the debugger:
- Display NativeCall objects as "[object Call]" in this/locals tree-tables
- Fixed "Go to Function" to highlight the target function in the source
window
- Synchronized ContextListener implementation
- Added slightly more useful tooltips to the tool bar
Note I modified files from today's rhinoTip.zip. Hopefully they were
identical to those in the cvs release branch.

InterpretedFunction/InterpretedScript and could be garbage collected
after interpreter byte code generation is finished. The usage of
theData.itsVariableTable it Interpreter.interpret is replaced by

Fatal error executing in IBM J9 VM

Hi --
I've encountered an error in either Rhino or the IBM J9 VM's runtime
support -- I'm not sure which -- but the end result is an unhandled
exception. I'm quite willing to believe that it's already been dealt
with. If so, will someone point me to the solution?
I'm using: IBM's J9 on Windows 2000,
IBM's IDE v1.3 on Windows 2000,
Rhino v1.5 from mozilla.org
The exception is java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
It occurs in Context.getSourcePositionFromStack just after the call to
RuntimeException.printStackTrace. The code is expecting a code
reference that looks something like "(Example.js:50)" where "50" is
the line number. (I gather that's what the Sun VM returns???)
Instead, J9 is returning a code reference that looks like:
"java.lang.RuntimeException\n\n\n\nStack trace:\n\n
java/lang/Throwable.<int>()V\n\n" etc, etc, etc.
The error occurs because the Colon variable's value is less than the
Open variable's value in Context.getSourcePositionFromStack. When the
s.substring is evaulated, there's a negative string length ... boom.
I've patched an "if" statement in the getSourcePositionFromStack code
so that instead of:
if (c == '\n' && open != -1 && close != -1 && colon != -1)
I have:
if (c == '\n' && open != -1 && close != -1 && colon != -1 && open <
colon && colon < close)
Certainly, there's a better fix, but it's sufficient to keep me going.
So, I have several questions ... being new to open source and this
forum:
1) Is this a real bug ... a real Rhino bug??
2) Has this already been found?
3) Has this already been fixed?
4) If not, what's the proper protocol for reporting it?
5) What's the proper protocol for fixing it?
This shows up *very* quickly when trying to run a script under J9.
When it occurs, Rhino is trying to issue a warning about some shady
JavaScript code.
If this is a real bug and hasn't been fixed, I would infer that there
aren't a lot of people trying to run this under J9. Would that be a
fair statement? If so, can anyone comment as to why that would be??
Thanks!

Hi, Norris!
When doing that instruction counting implementation, I managed to mess
up code in the catch statement in Interpreter.interpret.
First for some reason I assumed that for a general RuntimeException the
previous code do not run finally statements but only script catch code.
Of cause this was wrong: that code skipped catch for arbitrary exception
while calling finally.
This is a reasonable behavior especially given the fact that arbitrary
RuntimeException may only arise from, say, bugs, other exceptions should
be wrapped to JavaScriptException.
Second I removed calls to debug.handleExceptionThrown...
The attached patch restores the original catch/finally logic and re-adds
calls to debug.handleExceptionThrown.
I will later update it that catch to handle Error as well to allow
cleanup after throwing an Error instance from
Context.observeInstructionCount , but restoration should go first.

Hi, Norris!
Currently omj.Node uses Hashtable to map int property types to
objects/integer. In my opinion this is very inefficient: to store single
int property it creates 5 objects: one for property Hahstable, 2 Integer
wrappers for property/value, array to sore Hahstable slots and Hashtable
slot itself. To fix this I added omj.UintMap class that can map
non-negative integers to objects or integers and modified omj.Node to
use it. The class is a hashtable implementation that uses one int[] and
one Object[] arrays to store keys/values and Object[] array is not
created if the map contains only integers.
To take full advantage of omj.UintMap code has to be modified to use
Node.getIntProp/Node.putIntProp to store int properties, but even in
this form it is a win.
I can provide patches to use Node.getIntProp/Node.putIntProp and UintMap
for InterpreterData.itsLineNumberTable if this is OK.

Hi, Norris!
It turned out that in our browser implementation we need to be able to
abort too-long-running scripts. I implemented that for interpreter mode
via instruction counter callback. This callback is called at branch
points after instruction counter reach certain threshold as you
suggested once in mozilla-jseng mail list. The attached patch adds to
Context.java:
public int getInstructionObserverThreshold() {
return instructionThreshold;
}
public void setInstructionObserverThreshold(int threshold) {
instructionThreshold = threshold;
}
protected void observeInstructionCount(int instructionCount) {}
...
int instructionCount;
int instructionThreshold;
where observeInstructionCount is a callback that should be overwritten
in a custom Context to observe execution.
Then as long as instructionThreshold is not 0 modifications to
Interpreter.java increase instructionCount at branches/function
calls/catch blocks and call cx.observeInstructionCount when it reaches
instructionThreshold. I also replaces 3 catch statements in
Interpreter.interpret for EcmaError, JavaScriptException and
RuntimeException by single one to reduce code duplication.
The patch lacks documentation in Context.java but I would add that later
if the patch is ok.

move debug object counters and various constructors to jsd_xpc.cpp
add LiveEphemeral struct to reperesent a link in a PRCList of ephemeral objects.
declare jsdIEphemeral interface in objects that need it, add invalidaAll static method to jsdIProperty and jsdIValue. jsdIObject still needs work.
Large changes to improve the way we deal with our wrappers around js engine structures. jsdIScript, jsdIStackFrame, jsdIValue, and jsdIProperty interfaces now inherit from a new interface "jsdIEphemeral". This interface is used to invalidate the wrapper. Once the wrapper is invalidated, *most* methods throw NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE, some interfaces, such as jsdIScript, cache important information so that the wrapper isn't utterly useless once it has been invalidated. The boolean isValid attribute can be used to see if the wrapper is still valid.
factor debug object counters into some simple macros
add new velid assertion macros for the new ephemeral objects
add utility functions for dealing with PR_CLISTs full of ephemeral objects.
invalidate the jsdIFrame after the execution hook completes
move some c/dtors from jsd_xpc.h over here to avoid exposing debug object counters, and repeating some macros
fix incorrectly set out parameter in getValue::GetDoubleValue

I believe the correct result of the script should be
[object global]
[object Object]
[object global]
The activation object (which goes by the name of "Call" for historical
reasons) should never be the 'this' value in a function call. See "10.1.6
Activation Object" in the ECMA spec.
I'll look at fixing the problem for Rhino. If there's agreement on my
analysis, someone should fix this for Spidermonkey too.

The attached patch to omj/Interpreter.java fixes that: I forgot to check
for stack[stackTop] == DBL_MARK during throw when implemented
interpreter optimization to minimize number of created Double instances.
I think that example should go to the test suite in a form like:
try { throw 100; } catch (ex) { return ex == 100; }

Hi Norris,
Attached is a fix to a problem I encountered with the Rhino debugger.
Apparently some recent changes to the engine broke the debugger because
the debugger wasn't acquiring a Context before making certain engine
calls like ScriptableObject.getIds(). You can see this by stepping
through the "enum.js" example and expanding the variable "elements".
The below exception trace will be printed on the debugger console. The
attached file should fix this problem.

Hi Norris,
I modified this file to always call Context.toString() to display a
variable's value in the the tree table. Previously it only called it
for Scriptables and the toString() method of the object otherwise. This
caused for example JavaScript "2" to be displayed as "2.0".

This removes all call-sites I can currently fix. Tomorrow I'll try to get someone to checkin my changes to security/ and I'll get some help with the Netscape side of things.
nsString::GetUnicode()'s final death-blow will be dealt soon. Please keep this in mind as you add new code :-)
Rhino: speed optimization in omj/Interpreter.java

Hi, Norris!
The attached Interpreter_patch contains a speed optimization patch that
tries to avoid creation of Double objects by keeping a parallel stack
for double values: instead of putting Double to the stack, DBL_MRK is
put and the real value is put to double stack (sDbl). Then when reading
stack with DBL_MRK, the double value from the double stack is used
wrapped to Double object when necessary. In addition local and vars
arrays are merged to stack array.
The attached before.txt and after.txt contain results of typical runs of
mozilla/js/benchmarks/all_bench.js before and after optimization on my
PC: Athlon 650/Red Hat 7.0/JDK 1.3.0 from Sun .
In number of cases the optimization actually slow down the executionby
5-10% (I guess due to the checks for DBL_MRK), but mostly it is a nice
sped up often by factor of 2 ot more with overall optimization win: 267
versus 218 seconds.
I guess it is possible to apply the same optimization to the optimizer
package, but in our browser we use strictly interpreter mode. Also by
changing signature of call/construct methods in Scriptable it is
possible to avoid creation of almost all objects currently allocated
during method calls, but that is for far future.

declare and initialize new provate members in jsdScript, copy important script properties at jsdScript creation time, so they're around after Invalidate().
large changes to fix the following bugs:
82684, crash manually clearing breakpoint
*actually* clearing mValid in jsdScript::Invalidate fixed this one.
85636, assertions on quiting venkman
jsdService::Off now disconnects the hooks into JSD, to avoid calling back into js after that. It also processes any pending script delete events that occurred during the last GC. The code to process the gPendingScripts list has been factored out of the gc callback. Processing the dead script list allows us to properly finalize all of the jsdIScript object, which seems to clear up the "gc roots exist at shutdown" assertions. In effect, these changes get rid of *all* of the jsd related assertions on exit.
Added isOn attribute to jsdIService.
Added isValid attribute to jsdIScript. We now prefetch appropriate properties from the underlying JSDScript, so that it's available after the script is Invalidate()d
moved jsdService constructor to jsd_xpc.h
Save the runtime passed to OnForRuntime so we can use it to clear the GC Gallback in Off().
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

Bug #46775 r=mcafee a=leaf
jsdoc.js - added simple support for methods

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.
-----
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.
(bug 78121, r=jst@netscape.com, sr=jband@netscape.com, a=asa@mozilla.org)
----
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.
for classes implementing the Function interface and switch
IdFunction.java to use it. The code in BaseFunction to serve as
Function.prototype is not used yet. The patch modifies NativeCall so it
can be used against BaseFunction.
The patch was made from org/mozilla directory via
diff -uN javascript.0 javascript > BaseFunction_patch
aWrappedNative when doing aggregation. r=dradley sr=jst.
- Fix bug 81877. Avoid infinite recursion when reporting threadsafety
error. r=perterv,dradley sr=jst.
- Fix bug 81882. Use JS_AddNamedRootRT in XPCWrappedNative::AddRef to avoid
the unnecessary cost of creating an XPCCallContext in this frequently called
method. r=dbaron,dbradley sr=jst.
in fields of the object itself instead of using the standard property
hashtable in ScriptableObject.java. This saves 3 object instances per
NativeError (2 slot entries and hashtable array itself) and given the
fact that NativeGlobal defines a few permanent Error instances, it is
visible saving even after taking into account code size increase.
The change also gives a good test of IdScriptable implementation.
-----
This patch introduces the uniform decompile method for NativeFunction
and IdFunction with the signature:
public String decompile(Context cx, int indent, boolean justbody)
instead of NativeFunction.decompile(int indent, boolean toplevel,
boolean justbody) and IdScriptable.toStringForScript(Context cx) and
replaces the special treatment of NativeJavaMethod in
NativeFunction.jsFunction_toString by overriding decompile in
NativeJavaMethod
-----
This patch adds getFunctionName to NativeFunction to return function
name and replaces few places with jsGet_name usage by getFunctionName
The patch was made via
diff -ru javascript.0 javascript > name_patch
from org/mozilla directory
add onForRuntime() method to jsdIDebuggerService to let native code turn on the deubgger (on() can only be called from js)
register an app-start observer so we can turn on the debugger at startup if "js.debugger.autostart" pref is true.

Rhino: behavior update for IdScriptable subclasses

The attached patch introduces separation between id-base properties in
prototype instances and the rest of objects so it is possible to
allocate some ids for each instance and the rest only for prototype. The
patch adds to each descendants of IdScriptable a special prototypeFlag
which set to true only if object serves as a global prototype and all
methods that check/return ids first check for that flag. (This is the
reason for the patch size: diff is not very well in dealing with
indentation changes.)
In this way ids for prototype properties are completely hidden from
potential subclasses and there is no need to define methods like
getMaximumId in most cases, only if some ids present in each instance,
IdScriptable.maxInstanceId should be overridden to return max id present
in each instance.
The patch also replaces 2 boolean fields in IdScriptable by bit masks in
the setupFlag field.
