Can you add a comment here talking about the difference between a CustomAccessorGetter and a CustomValueGatter, and what the arguments are for them?
And then maybe a fixme to see if we can combine them? I think we can since you're adding this new argument. But it requires a lot of one line fixes.

Yusuke,

I'm not keen on this change - this actually reverse a change I made a couple of months ago (removing slotBase from getters): https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154009

Previously having both the thisValue and slotBase passed into getters resulted in them being used inconsistently and incorrectly (and is clearly inefficient if they are not both required).

And they never were both required:
- In the case of custom value getters, you should only ever be operating on the holder of the property - the slotBase.
- In the case of custom accessors you should only ever be operating on the receiver of the access - the thisValue.

I have two specific concerns with this change:

1) In JSBoundSlotBaseFunction you are using slotBase. All use of slotBase in JSBoundSlotBaseFunction is incorrect. We use JSBoundSlotBaseFunction  to reflect custom accessor as JSFunctions, but custom accessor SHOULD NOT be binding to the object they are extracted from. This is not correct behavior. If you follow through the logic you'll find that the value of slotBase  is never actually used prior to your change (as it should not be). I was just working on a patch to rename this class & remove m_slotBase [ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157978 ]. Reintroducing this use of slotBase is almost certainly a bug.

2) Your patch does not change the value being passed in as the thisValue. This means that in the case of custom value getters, you've changed it such that we're passing the slotBase into the getter twice, rather than passing thisValue & slotBase. If you are going to pass two base values in to the getter (which, again, I don't think we should - it's unnecessary, inefficient, and error-prone), then you should make the If we are going to pass the slotBase in to getters, then I think we should make the thisValue actually be the thisValue, and not a second copy of slotBase.

I must admit I don't yet understand why this change was necessary as a part of a fix to this bug – I'll take a closer look at the test case.
Comment 10 Gavin Barraclough 2016-05-26 00:51:50 PDT
Hmmm, from a high level description of the operation it sounds like Reflect.get should should just be getting the property descriptor from the target, if it's a value return it, if it's an accessor call it passing receiver. But maybe that doesn't match the spec - I'll have to dig into that.

Hmm, this change was made because ProxyObject's performProxyGet require both, slotBase and receiver.
When the custom getter is called, performProxyGet need to extract ProxyObject from slotBase, and
later, when the proxy traps, it invokes the handler with receiver.

Now, I'm attempting to discuss with Saam about performProxyGet on IRC (Maybe, now PST is super late, right?). This is only the function that requires the both currently.
And if we can remove this custom accessor usage, we can clean up.

Sounds reasonable.

Right. So I was planning to pass the same parameters to custom value/accessor getter in the subsequent patch[1].

Reconsider about slotBase.

I guess that CustomAccessor is used because throwing an error in getOwnPropertySlot for InternalMethodType::Get is not allowed/considered in the current JSC. slot.getValue() is guarded by exception checks. But getOwnPropertySlot with InternalMethodType::Get is not.
ProxyObject's performProxyGet need to call handlers, thus it can throw.

There is two ways to fix the situation I think.

1. 
Adding a new types, GetCustomValueFunc and GetCustomAccessorFunc.

EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomValueFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue thisValue, PropertyName, JSObject* slotBase);
EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomAccessorFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue thisValue, PropertyName);

While GetCustomValueFunc gets slotBase and receiver, GetCustomAccessorFunc does not. And change ProxyObject's custom accessor getter to custom value getter.
Since current JSBoundSlotBaseFunction is not used for custom value getter, this also solves that problem.

2.
Change to allow throwing exceptions from InternalMethodType::Get, and insert exception checks carefully.

Here, I mean that adding these types and replacing GetValueFunc with them. Using the same type for two different functions (custom value func / custom accessor func) may be error prone I think.

So, Yes, and Yes.

Yes – I think this is just a good idea anyway – had been considering this, and agree that it would make things less confusing.

And Yes – I think this would be an acceptable solution. I am more concerned with the issues around the accessors and this solves that. For custom values reintroducing the slotBase for now is not too horrible.

I actually think this is probably more the right direction in the long term. Having the extra hop of setting up & calling the custom value getter if likely introduces some avoidable overhead & complexity. But that's a discussion for later - reintroducing a separate slotBase for custom values may well be a pragmatic solution for now.




A bunch more suggestions, for bonus points:


(1) Argument order of your GetCustomValueFunc:

    EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomValueFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue thisValue, PropertyName, JSObject* slotBase);

I'd personally prefer it if you could change the order to:

    EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomValueFunc)(ExecState*, JSObject* slotBase, PropertyName, EncodedJSValue thisValue);

My reasoning is: for all other existing custom value getters in the code base other than performProxyGet, the this value the getter should be working on is the slotBase. I think the API design here can lead people towards making the right decision. Placing the things they're likely to want as the 1st & 2nd arguments, putting the rarely used things in 3rd & 4th positions seems more logical. Placing the things that most clients want in 1st & 4th positions, with a red herring of a 2nd argument, seems prone to leading to mistakes being made.


(2) Pretty sure custom accessors don't need property names.

If you split the GetValueFunc like this, I think you'll find that no custom accessor uses the PropertyName – we should be able to remove it.

    EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomAccessorFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue thisValue);


(3) Naming of the arguments.

I think 'thisValue' and 'slotBase' are confusing and unclear names – it would be great to rename them.

- 'thisValue' is the object upon which the access originates. I think both the specification and V8 refer to this as the 'receiver'. I think this is both slightly more descriptive and meaningful than 'thisValue', and matching the spec provides some helpful documentation.
- 'slotBase' is the object that logically holds the property - where the descriptor is read from. I believe V8 uses the term 'holder', and the pec uses 'target'. I like our name 'slotBase' the least. [It says we filled it out into the property slot, it doesn't say why – it can be interpreted in a way that would be describing the receiver, it's just unclear.] 'holder' is not a bad name at all, but I'd be inclined to just match the spec for documentation purposes.

As such, I'd suggest the following function signatures could be ideal:

    EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomValueFunc)(ExecState*, JSObject* target, PropertyName, EncodedJSValue receiver);
    EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomAccessorFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue receiver);


(4) What about PutValueFunc?

If we're going to make this change to get, ideally we'd symmetrically make it for put – it has the same ambiguity over the this value:

    bool (*PutCustomValueFunc)(ExecState*, JSObject* target, EncodedJSValue value);
    bool (*PutCustomAccessorFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue receiver, EncodedJSValue value);

I think (2) would be a very easy change to make. I don't know
of any places that have InternalMethodType::Get that don't immediately
get the value (and if there are, we can probably extend them to work
with a different model, for example, our IC code probably wants caching
information while performing a get()). We can just provide one function that does this get for us and that function can have the exception checks in the correct place. It may be worth doing this for the other InternalMethodType operations as well.

Regarding Gavin's name change proposal, I think that's one of the most important
changes we can make to help this code regain readability and help prevents bugs.
I'm still confused every time I look at this code. I'm confused just reading the comments and I have to remind myself what each name means.
FWIW, my vote is for the 'receiver', 'holder' pair of names. Those names make sense to me and I think it would be hard to confuse them.

Nice! While taking (2), Gavin's proposal is also very good to add it.

Yeah, right. The custom value getter should work with the slot base (holder).
And after taking (2) change, this custom value getter signature should be,

EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomValueFunc)(ExecState*, JSObject* holder, PropertyName);

I think this is reasonable. BTW, it is super slightly efficient in ARM 32bit environment (due to EABI).

Yeah, right. Roughly looking into the code base, it seems that there is no custom accessor getter that uses this property name.
Due to the similar reason to the slot base argument, it is better dropping this argument too.
It gives us simplified signature for custom accessor.

EncodedJSValue (*GetCustomAccessorFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue receiver);

Strongly agreed. "receiver" seems better.
And by aligning to the spec, we can easily validate our implementation to the spec.
Changing PropertySlot::thisValue to PropertySlot::receiver also gives us better readability.

Personally I like "holder" and "slotBase" both.

Yes, I think we should change that.

bool (*PutCustomValueFunc)(ExecState*, JSObject* holder, EncodedJSValue value);
bool (*PutCustomAccessorFunc)(ExecState*, EncodedJSValue receiver, EncodedJSValue value);

It certainly is spec defined, but I never remember what is covered in which spec. cdumez would know!

OK, as a first step, I'll upload the patch that change ProxyObject's custom accessor use and drop the JSObject* slotBase last parameter. It allows Gavin's patch landed.

And after that, I'll replace "thisValue" / "thisObject" etc to "receiver", "receiverObject" etc. And introduce new value / accessor funcs.

hmmmmmmm, there are so many missing error checks after hasProperty()...
I'll fix this issue in the separate patch...

Performance looks neutral or slightly better. (Due to exec->vm() inlining)

Benchmark report for SunSpider, Octane, Kraken, and AsmBench on hanayamata.

VMs tested:
"baseline" at /home/yusukesuzuki/dev/WebKit/WebKitBuild/slotbase-master/Release/bin/jsc
"patched" at /home/yusukesuzuki/dev/WebKit/WebKitBuild/slotbase3/Release/bin/jsc

Collected 10 samples per benchmark/VM, with 10 VM invocations per benchmark. Emitted a call to gc() between sample
measurements. Used 1 benchmark iteration per VM invocation for warm-up. Used the jsc-specific preciseTime() function to
get microsecond-level timing. Reporting benchmark execution times with 95% confidence intervals in milliseconds.

There’s a faster way to write this:

    auto* sourceCodeObject = exec->argument(0).toStringOrNull(exec);
    if (!sourceCodeObject)
        return JSValue::encode(jsUndefined());
    Strings sourceCode = sourceCodeObject->value(exec);

But if we are not trying to do that faster idiom, then I would have suggested using toWTFString rather than writing out toString(exec)->value(exec), which does the same thing. Maybe someone can make a version of toWTFString that does the faster idiom.

Would you be willing to use an entire word, instead of "Func"? I also think these are easier to read on a single line rather than with template above typename.

Why do we use jsUndefined() in some cases, and JSValue() in others, for the ignored value when there is an exception in the global state? Is one consistently better?

I’d use auto for this.

Ditto.

Interesting. I'll change this to toWTFString.

Thanks. I renamed it to CallbackWhenNoException. And make this a single line.

This code itself is derived from the original code's `JSValue()`.
Since this value is ignored when exception occurs, any value is OK.
In the meantime, I'll use jsUndefined for that.

OK, fixed.
