LibJS: Add a JS::Completion class and JS::ThrowCompletionOr<T> template
We decided that we want to move away from throwing exceptions in AOs
and regular functions implicitly and then returning some
default-constructed value (usually an empty JS::Value) - this requires
remembering to check for an exception at the call site, which is
error-prone. It's also awkward for return values that cannot be
default-constructed, e.g. MarkedValueList.
Instead, the thrown value should be part of the function return value.
The solution to this is moving closer to the spec and using something
they call "completion records":
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-completion-record-specification-type
This has various advantages:
- It becomes crystal clear whether some AO can fail or not, and errors
need to be handled and values unwrapped explicitly (for that reason
compatibility with the TRY() macro is already built-in, and a similar
TRY_OR_DISCARD() macro has been added specifically for use in LibJS,
while the majority of functions doesn't return ThrowCompletionOr yet)
- We no longer need to mix "valid" and "invalid" values of various types
for the success and exception outcomes (e.g. null/non-null AK::String,
empty/non-empty JS::Value)
- Subsequently it's no longer possible to accidentally use an exception
outcome return value as a success outcome return value (e.g. any AO
that returns a numeric type would return 0 even after throwing an
exception, at least before we started making use of Optional for that)
- Eventually the VM will no longer need to store an exception, and
temporarily clearing an exception (e.g. to call a function) becomes
obsolete - instead, completions will simply propagate up to the caller
outside of LibJS, which then can deal with it in any way
- Similar to throw we'll be able to implement the functionality of
break, continue, and return using completions, which will lead to
easier to understand code and fewer workarounds - the current
unwinding mechanism is not even remotely similar to the spec's
approach
The spec's NormalCompletion and ThrowCompletion AOs have been
implemented as simple wrappers around the JS::Completion constructor.
UpdateEmpty has been implemented as a JS::Completion method.
There's also a new VM::throw_completion<T>() helper, which basically
works like VM::throw_exception<T>() - it creates a T object (usually a
JS::Error), and returns it wrapped in a JS::Completion of Type::Throw.
Two temporary usage patterns have emerged:
1. Callee already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but caller doesn't:
auto foo = TRY_OR_DISCARD(bar());
2. Caller already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but callee doesn't:
auto foo = bar();
if (auto* exception = vm.exception())
return throw_completion(exception->value());
Eventually all error handling and unwrapping can be done with just TRY()
or possibly even operator? in the future :^)

LibJS: Add a JS::Completion class and JS::ThrowCompletionOr<T> template
We decided that we want to move away from throwing exceptions in AOs
and regular functions implicitly and then returning some
default-constructed value (usually an empty JS::Value) - this requires
remembering to check for an exception at the call site, which is
error-prone. It's also awkward for return values that cannot be
default-constructed, e.g. MarkedValueList.
Instead, the thrown value should be part of the function return value.
The solution to this is moving closer to the spec and using something
they call "completion records":
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-completion-record-specification-type
This has various advantages:
- It becomes crystal clear whether some AO can fail or not, and errors
need to be handled and values unwrapped explicitly (for that reason
compatibility with the TRY() macro is already built-in, and a similar
TRY_OR_DISCARD() macro has been added specifically for use in LibJS,
while the majority of functions doesn't return ThrowCompletionOr yet)
- We no longer need to mix "valid" and "invalid" values of various types
for the success and exception outcomes (e.g. null/non-null AK::String,
empty/non-empty JS::Value)
- Subsequently it's no longer possible to accidentally use an exception
outcome return value as a success outcome return value (e.g. any AO
that returns a numeric type would return 0 even after throwing an
exception, at least before we started making use of Optional for that)
- Eventually the VM will no longer need to store an exception, and
temporarily clearing an exception (e.g. to call a function) becomes
obsolete - instead, completions will simply propagate up to the caller
outside of LibJS, which then can deal with it in any way
- Similar to throw we'll be able to implement the functionality of
break, continue, and return using completions, which will lead to
easier to understand code and fewer workarounds - the current
unwinding mechanism is not even remotely similar to the spec's
approach
The spec's NormalCompletion and ThrowCompletion AOs have been
implemented as simple wrappers around the JS::Completion constructor.
UpdateEmpty has been implemented as a JS::Completion method.
There's also a new VM::throw_completion<T>() helper, which basically
works like VM::throw_exception<T>() - it creates a T object (usually a
JS::Error), and returns it wrapped in a JS::Completion of Type::Throw.
Two temporary usage patterns have emerged:
1. Callee already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but caller doesn't:
auto foo = TRY_OR_DISCARD(bar());
2. Caller already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but callee doesn't:
auto foo = bar();
if (auto* exception = vm.exception())
return throw_completion(exception->value());
Eventually all error handling and unwrapping can be done with just TRY()
or possibly even operator? in the future :^)

LibJS: Add a JS::Completion class and JS::ThrowCompletionOr<T> template
We decided that we want to move away from throwing exceptions in AOs
and regular functions implicitly and then returning some
default-constructed value (usually an empty JS::Value) - this requires
remembering to check for an exception at the call site, which is
error-prone. It's also awkward for return values that cannot be
default-constructed, e.g. MarkedValueList.
Instead, the thrown value should be part of the function return value.
The solution to this is moving closer to the spec and using something
they call "completion records":
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-completion-record-specification-type
This has various advantages:
- It becomes crystal clear whether some AO can fail or not, and errors
need to be handled and values unwrapped explicitly (for that reason
compatibility with the TRY() macro is already built-in, and a similar
TRY_OR_DISCARD() macro has been added specifically for use in LibJS,
while the majority of functions doesn't return ThrowCompletionOr yet)
- We no longer need to mix "valid" and "invalid" values of various types
for the success and exception outcomes (e.g. null/non-null AK::String,
empty/non-empty JS::Value)
- Subsequently it's no longer possible to accidentally use an exception
outcome return value as a success outcome return value (e.g. any AO
that returns a numeric type would return 0 even after throwing an
exception, at least before we started making use of Optional for that)
- Eventually the VM will no longer need to store an exception, and
temporarily clearing an exception (e.g. to call a function) becomes
obsolete - instead, completions will simply propagate up to the caller
outside of LibJS, which then can deal with it in any way
- Similar to throw we'll be able to implement the functionality of
break, continue, and return using completions, which will lead to
easier to understand code and fewer workarounds - the current
unwinding mechanism is not even remotely similar to the spec's
approach
The spec's NormalCompletion and ThrowCompletion AOs have been
implemented as simple wrappers around the JS::Completion constructor.
UpdateEmpty has been implemented as a JS::Completion method.
There's also a new VM::throw_completion<T>() helper, which basically
works like VM::throw_exception<T>() - it creates a T object (usually a
JS::Error), and returns it wrapped in a JS::Completion of Type::Throw.
Two temporary usage patterns have emerged:
1. Callee already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but caller doesn't:
auto foo = TRY_OR_DISCARD(bar());
2. Caller already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but callee doesn't:
auto foo = bar();
if (auto* exception = vm.exception())
return throw_completion(exception->value());
Eventually all error handling and unwrapping can be done with just TRY()
or possibly even operator? in the future :^)

and regular functions implicitly and then returning some
default-constructed value (usually an empty JS::Value) - this requires
remembering to check for an exception at the call site, which is
error-prone. It's also awkward for return values that cannot be
default-constructed, e.g. MarkedValueList.
Instead, the thrown value should be part of the function return value.
The solution to this is moving closer to the spec and using something
they call "completion records":
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-completion-record-specification-type
This has various advantages:
- It becomes crystal clear whether some AO can fail or not, and errors
need to be handled and values unwrapped explicitly (for that reason
compatibility with the TRY() macro is already built-in, and a similar
TRY_OR_DISCARD() macro has been added specifically for use in LibJS,
while the majority of functions doesn't return ThrowCompletionOr yet)
- We no longer need to mix "valid" and "invalid" values of various types
for the success and exception outcomes (e.g. null/non-null AK::String,
empty/non-empty JS::Value)
- Subsequently it's no longer possible to accidentally use an exception
outcome return value as a success outcome return value (e.g. any AO
that returns a numeric type would return 0 even after throwing an
exception, at least before we started making use of Optional for that)
- Eventually the VM will no longer need to store an exception, and
temporarily clearing an exception (e.g. to call a function) becomes
obsolete - instead, completions will simply propagate up to the caller
outside of LibJS, which then can deal with it in any way
- Similar to throw we'll be able to implement the functionality of
break, continue, and return using completions, which will lead to
easier to understand code and fewer workarounds - the current
unwinding mechanism is not even remotely similar to the spec's
approach
The spec's NormalCompletion and ThrowCompletion AOs have been
implemented as simple wrappers around the JS::Completion constructor.
UpdateEmpty has been implemented as a JS::Completion method.
There's also a new VM::throw_completion<T>() helper, which basically
works like VM::throw_exception<T>() - it creates a T object (usually a
JS::Error), and returns it wrapped in a JS::Completion of Type::Throw.
Two temporary usage patterns have emerged:
1. Callee already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but caller doesn't:
auto foo = TRY_OR_DISCARD(bar());
2. Caller already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but callee doesn't:
auto foo = bar();
if (auto* exception = vm.exception())
return throw_completion(exception->value());
Eventually all error handling and unwrapping can be done with just TRY()
or possibly even operator? in the future :^)

LibJS: Add a JS::Completion class and JS::ThrowCompletionOr<T> template
We decided that we want to move away from throwing exceptions in AOs
and regular functions implicitly and then returning some
default-constructed value (usually an empty JS::Value) - this requires
remembering to check for an exception at the call site, which is
error-prone. It's also awkward for return values that cannot be
default-constructed, e.g. MarkedValueList.
Instead, the thrown value should be part of the function return value.
The solution to this is moving closer to the spec and using something
they call "completion records":
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-completion-record-specification-type
This has various advantages:
- It becomes crystal clear whether some AO can fail or not, and errors
need to be handled and values unwrapped explicitly (for that reason
compatibility with the TRY() macro is already built-in, and a similar
TRY_OR_DISCARD() macro has been added specifically for use in LibJS,
while the majority of functions doesn't return ThrowCompletionOr yet)
- We no longer need to mix "valid" and "invalid" values of various types
for the success and exception outcomes (e.g. null/non-null AK::String,
empty/non-empty JS::Value)
- Subsequently it's no longer possible to accidentally use an exception
outcome return value as a success outcome return value (e.g. any AO
that returns a numeric type would return 0 even after throwing an
exception, at least before we started making use of Optional for that)
- Eventually the VM will no longer need to store an exception, and
temporarily clearing an exception (e.g. to call a function) becomes
obsolete - instead, completions will simply propagate up to the caller
outside of LibJS, which then can deal with it in any way
- Similar to throw we'll be able to implement the functionality of
break, continue, and return using completions, which will lead to
easier to understand code and fewer workarounds - the current
unwinding mechanism is not even remotely similar to the spec's
approach
The spec's NormalCompletion and ThrowCompletion AOs have been
implemented as simple wrappers around the JS::Completion constructor.
UpdateEmpty has been implemented as a JS::Completion method.
There's also a new VM::throw_completion<T>() helper, which basically
works like VM::throw_exception<T>() - it creates a T object (usually a
JS::Error), and returns it wrapped in a JS::Completion of Type::Throw.
Two temporary usage patterns have emerged:
1. Callee already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but caller doesn't:
auto foo = TRY_OR_DISCARD(bar());
2. Caller already returns ThrowCompletionOr, but callee doesn't:
auto foo = bar();
if (auto* exception = vm.exception())
return throw_completion(exception->value());
Eventually all error handling and unwrapping can be done with just TRY()
or possibly even operator? in the future :^)
