[V8] Remove custom toV8() calls for TypedArray.

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Vineet Chaudhary (vineetc)]

With the support of [TypedArray] we can remove the custom calls toV8().
TypedArray spec : http://www.khronos.org/registry/typedarray/specs/latest/#7

With current patch I had to skip below idls with custom bindings because of 
naming conventions at v8 bindings side.
ExternalArrayType enum values are declared in v8.h and used in v8/heap and v8/d8 code.

IDL File              could be          Actual  
Int8Array.idl         signed char   ==> Byte
Uint8Array.idl        unsigned char ==> UnsignedByte
Uint8ClampedArray.idl unsigned char ==> Pixel

Sorry I couldn't combine these in one do we have better solution?

We cannot change the variable names for V8 compatibility. How about hard-coding name mapping in CodeGeneratorV8.pm? I agree that it's dirty but it would be better than having custom binding code.

Updated patch. This also removes the custom bindings for Int8Array.idl, Uint8Array.idl and Uint8ClampedArray.idl.

"GetTypeNameOfExternalTypedArray" might be a better name.

For readability and maintainability, I would prefer the following code:

  return "v8::kExternalByteArray" if ...;
  return "v8::kExternalPixelArray" if ...;
  return "v8::kExternalUnsignedByteArray" if ...;
  return "v8::..." if ...;
  return "v8::..." if ...;
  return "v8::..." if ...;

I just checked webgl tests running and got few IMAGE Mismatch failures but both were same
with and without this patch. IMO This should not cause any regression as there are no
behavioural changes.

This shouldn't be because of these changes.

Done.

This looks like an error-prone magic. (We might want to avoid Perl magic for readability.) Shall we hard-code everything? There are only six variables.

$viewType =~ s/\b(\w)/\ucfirst$1/g; //will also do for readability
only reason to use regExp was minimal hard-coding.

How about
return "v8::kExternalByteArray" if $viewType eq "signed char" and $interfaceName eq "Int8Array";
return "v8::kExternalFloatArray" if $viewType eq "float" and $interfaceName eq "Float32Array";
....
This will make sure correct interface name with external view type.

Let's add:

    die 'TypedArray of unknown type is found';

Is TypedArray=* supported? Either way please feel free to edit the wiki page. (I will add something if I want more:-)
