Add support for constructor syntax for Events

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Sam Weinig]

The latest DOM Core draft has new syntax for constructing and initializing DOM events in a  much more succinct manner (new Event('eventType', { bubbles: true, cancelable: false })).

First pass at an implementation

I am throwing up my first pass at a implementation so I don't lose it. I currently has the following issues:
- It is not auto generating support for IDL dictionaries, which I think we should eventually.
- It only supports the Event base class (so new CustomEvent, new MouseEvent don't work).
- JSC only
(Probably other issues too).

Second pass (now with CustomEvent support)

[Sam Weinig]

Now I have to decide how far I want to go without auto generating.  The pattern has become pretty clear to me; we need to generate the fillFoo() function from the "dictionary" Web IDL interfaces.  

It might make sense to find a better a way to share the default values for properties between the Event and EventInit classes (since they could get out of sync) or maybe EventInit should just store whether a particular property has been set.

Third pass

Add a few more Event subclasses and refactor to avoid adding so many more new files.  I am liking this general direction right now, may stick with it.

I decide to use macros to create a DSL for these constructors.  A V8 specific implementation would be easy to add for someone who knew how.

I am posting this to see how well it builds, it needs additional tests and probably breaking up a bit (and maybe some enable guards).

Typo throughout: INSTANTIAT instead of INSTANTIATE.

I also don’t completely understand what an “init constructor” is.

Since there is now some movement on the V8 side to get this in, I am going to finish this off.  I am uploading a version with just support for Event, and the test case.

does this really warrant a fixme? it's a single indirect read that doesn't cause any harm.  If anything you should have another exception check before the convertValue call -- getValue can execute arbitrary js so can throw

You are probably right.  I'll remove it.
