No need to check this at runtime, we have all the necessary info already
when generating bytecode.
Also mark the "yes, we are indeed calling the builtin" path [[likely]]
since it's exceedingly rare for anyone to replace the global functions.
This doesn't affect interpreter size directly, but let's inform the
compiler that we're not terribly worried about code using the `with`
statement in JS.
While we're in the bytecode compiler, we want to know which type of
Operand we're dealing with, but once we've generated the bytecode
stream, we only ever need its index.
This patch simplifies Operand by removing the aarch64 bitfield hacks
and makes it 32-bit on all platforms. We keep 3 type bits in the high
bits of the index while compiling, and then zero them out when
flattening the final bytecode stream.
This makes bytecode more compact on x86_64, and avoids bit twiddling
on aarch64. Everyone wins something!
When stringifying bytecode for debugging output, we now have an API in
Executable that can look at a raw operand index and tell you what type
of operand it was, based on known quantities of each type in the stack
frame.
In our process architecture, there's only ever one JS::VM per process.
This allows us to have a VM::the() singleton getter that optimizes
down to a single global access everywhere.
Seeing 1-2% speed-up on all JS benchmarks from this.
This allows us to use the bytecode implementation of await, which
correctly suspends execution contexts and handles completion
injections.
This gains us 4 test262 tests around mutating Array.fromAsync's
iterable whilst it's suspended as well.
This is also one step towards removing spin_until, which the
non-bytecode implementation of await uses.

This hosts the ability to compile and run JavaScript to implement
native functions. This is particularly useful for any native function
that is not a normal function, for example async functions such as
Array.fromAsync, which require yielding.
These functions are not allowed to observe anything from outside their
environment. Any global identifiers will instead be assumed to be a
reference to an abstract operation or a constant. The generator will
inject the appropriate bytecode if the name of the global identifier
matches a known name. Anything else will cause a code generation error.
All the data we need for compilation is in SharedFunctionInstanceData,
so we shouldn't depend on ECMAScriptFunctionObject.
Allows NativeJavaScriptBackedFunction to compile bytecode.
This commit adds a new Bytecode.def file that describes all the LibJS
bytecode instructions.
From this, we are able to generate the full declarations for all C++
bytecode instruction classes, as well as their serialization code.
Note that some of the bytecode compiler was updated since instructions
no longer have default constructor arguments.
The big immediate benefit here is that we lose a couple thousand lines
of hand-written C++ code. Going forward, this also allows us to do more
tooling for the bytecode VM, now that we have an authoritative
description of its instructions.
Key things to know about:
- Instructions can inherit from one another. At the moment, everything
simply inherits from the base "Instruction".
- @terminator means the instruction terminates a basic block.
- @nothrow means the instruction cannot throw. This affects how the
interpreter interacts with it.
- Variable-length instructions are automatically supported. Just put an
array of something as the last field of the instruction.
- The m_length field is magical. If present, it will be populated with
the full length of the instruction. This is used for variable-length
instructions.
With this change, `GetIterator` no longer GC-allocates an
`IteratorRecord`. Instead, it stores the iterator record fields in
bytecode registers. This avoids per-iteration allocations in patterns
like: `for (let [x] of array) {}`.
`IteratorRecord` now inherits from `IteratorRecordImpl`, which holds the
iteration state. This allows the existing iteration helpers
(`iterator_next()`, `iterator_step()`, etc.) operate on both the
GC-allocated and the register-backed forms.

This reverts commit cdcbbcf48b.
It made MicroBench/call-*-args.js faster, but some of the macro
benchmarks got significantly slower on macOS, so let's revert until we
understand it better.
Instead of always checking if we're about to return an empty completion
value in Interpreter::run_executable(), we now coerce empty completions
to the undefined value earlier instead.
This simplifies the most common path through run_executable(), giving us
a small speedup.
Instead of using this span, we can just use the getter that calculates
the base of the register/constant/local/argument array based on the
ExecutionContext's own address.
We don't need to return two values; running an executable only ever
produces a throw completion, or a normal completion, i.e a Value.
This necessitated a few minor changes, such as adding a way to check
if a JS::Cell is a GeneratorResult.
By handling call instructions in an inline (C++) function, we were
breaking the alloca() optimization and adding stack overhead. We fix
this by using a macro instead. It looks awful but it works.
1.07x speedup on MicroBench/call-00-args.js
This simplifies function entry/exit and lets us just walk away from the
used ExecutionContext instead of resetting a bunch of its state when
returning control to the caller.
This commits puts the strict mode flag in the header of every bytecode
instruction. This allows us to check for strict mode without looking at
the currently running execution context.
The GC::Ref smart pointer is always non-null, so there's no need for it
to be convertible to bool.
This exposed a small number of unnecessary null checks which we remove.
When an object becomes too big (currently 64 properties or more), we
change its shape to a dictionary and don't do any further transitions.
However, this means the Shape of the object no longer changes, so the
cache invalidation check of `current_shape != cache.shape` is no longer
a valid check.
This fixes that by keeping track of a generation number for the Shape
both on the Shape object and in the cache, allowing that to be checked
instead of the Shape identity. The generation is incremented whenever
the dictionary is mutated.
Fixes stale cache lookups on Gmail preventing emails from being
displayed.
I was not able to produce a reproduction for this, plus the generation
count was over the 20k mark on Gmail.
We also make the code a bit more generic by making callers provide
(templated) callbacks that produce the property name and base expression
string if any.
This makes the instanceof operator signficantly faster by avoiding a
generic function call to @@hasInstance unless it has been overridden.
1.15x speed-up on Octane/earley-boyer.js
We already had fast paths for Add, Sub and Mul. Might as well do Div.
1.18x speed-up on this micro-benchmark:
(() => {
let a = 1234;
for (let i = 0; i < 100_000_000; ++i)
a / a;
})()
This is only used to specify how a property is being added to an object
by Put* instructions, so let's call it PutKind.
Also add an enumeration X macro for it to prepare for upcoming
specializations.
This gets rid of a lot of pointer chasing from interpreter to executable
to identifier table to the actual identifier.
