Simplify Interpreter::StackFrame.

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mark Lam]

Previously, Interpreter::StackFrame (which is used to capture info for Error.stack) eagerly extracts info out of CodeBlock and duplicate the work that CodeBlock does to compute line and column numbers (amongst other things).

This patch does away with the eager extraction and only stashes the CodeBlock pointer in the Interpreter::StackFrame.  Instead, Interpreter::StackFrame will provide methods for computing the desired values on request later.

Taking out of review while I look at the failures.  Might just need to rebase some tests.

I would call this firstNonNativeFrame.

As we discussed in person, it's worth changing this to !stackFrame->isNative()
Using bytecodeOffset == 0 is just weird and confusing because the bytecodeOffset is allowed to be zero.
If anything, we can make it an Optional<unsigned>.

nice change, the previous code was quite an anti-pattern.

Fixed.

I indented these 2 paragraphs and added some text to the previous paragraph to make it clearer that these are details elaborating on that previous paragraph.

Applied.

I added a "// unused value because codeBlock is null." comment next to the 0.

Applied.

I changed this to:
     if (!firstNonNativeFrame->isNative())

> Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/Error.cpp:173
> +        if (!stackFrame->isNative() && !frameSourceURL.isEmpty())

Now that we realize that the above loop is looking for the first non-native frame, then we know that this "!stackFrame->isNative()" is superflous.  I removed it.
