1142337 - Implement NormalizedMap without __noSuchMethod__

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Chat Core :: General, defect)

Attachment: WIP using subclassing with super

Seeing that support for 'extends' landed, I was optimistic that we could nicely fix this with classes. But sadly bug 838540 stops this WIP from working. Filing it here for possible future use.

Attachment: Patch using proxies

Have you actually seen any warning about using __noSuchMethod__? Here's an implementation that uses a Proxy instead. I'm *extremely* unhappy with it, as I feel it obfuscates the code. This passes all our tests, but I didn't actually try running with this.

This bit here makes tests fail:

Should be moved above let map = as that's the first place we call aNormalize.

Patrick, are you still working on this? You're not assigned so this may have just slipped your radar.

Comment 6

[Patrick Cloke [:clokep]]

I'm nominally ensuring this gets done. I'll fix it eventually if no one gets to it first. Is this blocking you in some way?

Attachment: Fix using a class with explicit composition

I think we should take this for now to get rid of the warnings and then simplify the code using super when that becomes available. (From jorendorff's example with bugs and missing bits fixed.)

Huh is this actually fixing a bug in our old implementation?

Backed out until ES6 classes move to m-a.

Classes aren't going to ship in time.

Attachment: Implement NormalizedMap using a subclass

ES6 classes have now shipped beyond nightlies. ES6 subclassing has some quirks, but this is cleaner than what we have currently.

Comment 17

[aleth [:aleth]]

Might be worth comparing to the patch in comment 7 to see which is preferable.
