[V8] Introduce constructorCallbackCustom()

• Component: WebCore JavaScript
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Kentaro Hara]

Currently custom constructors have the following code:

  v8::Handle<v8::Value> V8XXX::constructorCallback(const v8::Arguments& args) {
    INC_STATS("DOM.XXX.Constructor");
    if (!args.IsConstructCall())
      return throwTypeError("DOM object constructor cannot be called as a function.", args.GetIsolate());
    if (ConstructorMode::current() == ConstructorMode::WrapExistingObject)
      return args.Holder();

    /* body of the constructor */;
  }

I would like to generate the common part in a code generator so that custom constructors can just write the body part. Specifically, I want to make the following change:

  // Generated automatically
  v8::Handle<v8::Value> V8XXX::constructorCallback(const v8::Arguments& args) {
    INC_STATS("DOM.XXX.Constructor");
    if (!args.IsConstructCall())
      return throwTypeError("DOM object constructor cannot be called as a function.", args.GetIsolate());
    if (ConstructorMode::current() == ConstructorMode::WrapExistingObject)
      return args.Holder();

    V8XXX::constructorCallbackCustom(args);
  }

  // Written manually
  v8::Handle<v8::Value> V8XXX::constructorCallback(const v8::Arguments& args) {
    /* body of the constructor */;
  }

By doing this, not only can we avoid duplicating the same logic in custom bindings, but also it enables us to insert the logic for [V8MeasureAs] into custom constructors.

Sounds good to me.

Updated the test result and landed the patch. It looks like that '.' was missing in an error message of DataView's custom constructors:) Now we have '.' for all custom constructors because the same error message is generated by the code generator.
