1506324 - Add JS::DefaultGlobalClassOps to JSAPI

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

Every "how to embed SpiderMonkey" example program currently begins with something like the following beast:

    static JSClassOps classOps = {
        nullptr,  // addProperty
        nullptr,  // deleteProperty
        nullptr,  // enumerate
        nullptr,  // newEnumerate
        nullptr,  // resolve
        nullptr,  // mayResolve
        nullptr,  // finalize
        nullptr,  // call
        nullptr,  // hasInstance
        nullptr,  // construct
        JS_GlobalObjectTraceHook
    };

We could just stick a copy of this in the public API. It's a better introduction to SpiderMonkey when you don't have to start out staring at something that is marginally relevant.

Comment 1

[Ted Campbell [:tcampbell]]

I wonder if DefaultGlobalClassOps is a better connotation than "simple".

Comment 2

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

Agreed. Also I wasn't sure between JS::DefaultGlobalClassOps and JSDefaultGlobalClassOps so I went with the former.

Comment 3

[Ted Campbell [:tcampbell]]

I notice we still have js::ClassOps and JSClassOps. I wonder if we need both JS:DefaultGlobalClassOps and js::DefaultGlobalClassOps for now.

Also, probably good to split into two patches one to add them and one to use them. We can collect these ergonomic fixes and have a discussion about uplifts.

This also adds a js::ClassOps variant, js::DefaultGlobalClassOps which can
be used in js::Class.

Depends on D11569

Comment 6

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

ptomato and I discussed this on IRC a few days ago. I'd like to see this land.

Comment 7

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to work on the patches since this weekend.

I changed the JSClass to use lazy standard classes but I found on try that it breaks this test: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/jsapi-tests/testSetProperty.cpp#15

I just need to override getGlobalClass() in that test to use a global without lazy standard classes, but I probably won't be able to do that until next weekend.

Comment 8

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

The good news is, that comment is stale. We can now cache global property accesses -- at least the ones this test is doing -- I think. Please delete the assertion and the comment, but leave the test.

Comment 9

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

I did find some time yesterday evening to update the patch, on D11571 ... because arc wasn't finding the hg revision I had to cat the patch directly to arc diff, so it didn't tag you automatically. I just tagged you now. The revision I have there just changes that test to use a global without lazy classes.

I can still undo that change and delete the assertion and comment, but it will likely be this weekend.

Comment 10

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

Thanks for the review! So, the procedure now is that I attach the revisions from Phabricator to this bug again, and add checkin-needed?

Hi! The second part of the patch fails to apply cleanly. (Use DefaultGlobalClassOps in existing code)

Reopening for the second part.

You can just set checkin-needed and sheriffs can land Phabricator patches :)

Comment 20

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

Sorry I didn't get time to look at this in the past two weeks.

I think the failure is because D11570 was already merged, and then it was applied again. Only D11571 needs to be applied. But, I expect it won't apply any more because of the reformat, so I'll rebase it and upload it again.

Comment 21

[Ted Campbell [:tcampbell]]

The source tree is entering a soft-freeze before merging to Beta, so let us hold off until the start of next release. I don't think we have any hurry to get this anywhere. Feel free to ping me if you want some help untangling phabricator or find yourself too busy.

Comment 22

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

No hurry indeed. I updated D11571, so it's in place for when the next cycle starts.

Comment 23

[Release mgmt bot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

There are some r+ patches which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:ptomato, could you have a look please?

Comment 24

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

Thanks for the reminder. D11571 needs to be landed. Let me know if it doesn't apply cleanly and I can try to rebase it.

Comment 25

[Razvan Maries]

Tried to land this and got:

We're sorry, Autoland could not rebase your commits for you automatically. Please manually rebase your commits and try again.

[Bogdan Tara[:bogdan_tara | bogdant]]

Just tried to arc patch D11571, but rebase failed.

Comment 28

[Philip Chimento [:ptomato]]

It seems arc patch D11571 is somehow pulling in associated patches which have already been committed, so those are failing to rebase. I don't know how to get it to stop doing that.

This worked for me: arc patch --skip-dependencies --update D11571

Philip, I tried using your method and got hunks failed:

Aryx can you check out Comment 28?

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Can you skip those committed patches and apply it on the top of mozilla-central, please? There are still conflicts when I do that with

arc patch --skip-dependencies --nobranch D11571

I don't seem to get these conflicts...

In any case, I can't update the Phabricator revision anymore, so I've posted the patch here on Bugzilla instead.
