Description Filip Pizlo 2016-02-04 20:59:53 PST
Arrayify over a typed array will repurpose the indexing header for something different than what typed arrays expect, leading to an object that's in a bizarre state.

JSObject::enterDictionaryIndexingMode() seems to be called from JSArray::setLengthWritable() and JSObject::preventExtensions() with the assumption that it will succeed in entering indexing mode.  Can you please explain why it is ok to simply do nothing is we fail to ensureArrayStorageSlow()?

I think this is not needed.  Please revert.

JSArray will always return non-null from ensureArrayStorageSlow(), since a JSArray is not a typed array.

Sure.

And typed arrays are unaffected by things like preventExtensions().  Broadly, there's no effect on typed arrays from doing enterDictionaryIndexingMode() since typed arrays override normal JS indexing behavior already and so we just need to make sure that the usual JSObject indexing stuff doesn't do anything.

In trunk, JSObject indexing stuff sometimes corrupts the typed array's state, and this patch fixes that.

Sounds good.  I feel like we should have an else case here for when !storage, and ASSERT that the self object is a TypedArray in that case.

If anything the assert would say something about hijacksIndexingHeader().  I created that method to make it easier to add other typed-array-like objects in the future.
