Bug 143247 – Object.preventExtensions/seal/freeze makes code much slower

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Elliott Sprehn]

If you have

class Foo {
  constructor() {
    this.property = 1;
    Object.preventExtensions(this);
  }
}

calling new Foo() seems to be 2-3x slower than doing so without the call to preventExtensions. This is not the case in v8 or Firefox. This pattern is really nice since it catches bad assignments and typos in code.

The previous patch didn't include the LayoutTests additions.  I'm still testing this, but so far it appears to work like a charm.

I'm seeing crashes.  I'll put up a better patch once I figure out what those are all about.

Looks like this breaks some test262 tests.

Specifically:

JSTests/test262/test/built-ins/Object/freeze/15.2.3.9-2-c-2.js
JSTests/test262/test/built-ins/Object/freeze/15.2.3.9-2-c-3.js
JSTests/test262/test/built-ins/Object/freeze/15.2.3.9-2-c-4.js

Which can be run with:

jsc JSTests/test262/harness/assert.js JSTests/test262/harness/sta.js JSTests/test262/harness/propertyHelper.js <testFile>
