JSGlobalObject::fireWatchpointAndMakeAllArrayStructuresSlowPut() should fire its watchpoint as the last step.

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mark Lam]

JSGlobalObject::fireWatchpointAndMakeAllArrayStructuresSlowPut() should make all the array structures SlowPut before firing the watchpoint.  Otherwise, the concurrent JIT may think it's grabbing the slow put version of the structure, but is actually grabbing the non-SlowPut version because it beat the mutator in a race to read the structure before the mutator makes it SlowPut.

Thanks for catch that.

I added more code to placate a DFG_ASSERT in SpeculativeJIT::compileNewArray().  We could just remove that assert, but I felt that there's some value in keeping it.  So, let's get another review to see if anyone is strongly opposed to this change.

This is crazy. We can’t have code in the compiler like this loop. We should restructure the code to not have this problem.

this is super localized to this one place (there is probably other code you're not catching). It's also not really needed. I'm not a fan of adding more code to appease an assertion like this with a huge comment. It seems better to just remove the assertion if that's valid. (Also note: the FTL has no such assertion.) It's not worth bending over backwards for an assertion we know is ultimately wrong.

maybe also worth a note on the store ordering here?

Thanks for the review.
