Bug 158059 – Static table lookup should not require getOwnPropertySlot override.

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

[Gavin Barraclough]

JSObject is inconsistent as to when it consults static tables, and getOwnPropertySlot does not do so. This means that all subclasses that use static properties must override getOwnPropertySlot, and all uncached property access is virtual (via JSC method table).

Looks good to me. I don’t see any obvious downside.

> Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/ArrayConstructor.h:37
> +    static const unsigned StructureFlags = HasStaticPropertyTable | InternalFunction::StructureFlags;

Some stray thoughts around the edges:

- Should we be using constexpr for these instead of const?
- Should we get more consistent about whether we put the new flags before or after the old ones in the "|" expression? I prefer putting the new flags after.
- Should we get more consistent about using Base rather than repeating the base class name? This one repeats the name, but most use Base.
- For Base, should we switch from typedef to using? I like the using style better, even outside of its best use for template types.

> Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSObject.cpp:1679
> +    for (const ClassInfo* info = classInfo(); info; info = info->parentClass) {

This is the kind of code where I think auto* wins out over explicitly naming a class.

> Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSObject.cpp:1680
> +        if (const HashTable* table = info->staticPropHashTable) {

Here too.

> Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/Lookup.h:211
> +inline bool getStaticPropertySlotFromTable(VM& vm, const HashTable& table, JSObject* thisObj, PropertyName propertyName, PropertySlot& slot)

Could we spell out thisObject instead of using thisObj?

Fixed all review comments.

Re constexpr & using – yes, we probably should.

It seems pretty unfortunate that we have to have these flag declarations at all. The HasStaticPropertyTable flag should be set if and only if the ClassInfo contains a static table, OverridesGetOwnPropertySlot should be set if the class has an implementation of GetOwnPropertySlot differing to JSObject, etc. We'd need a way to specify some custom flags, but I think most classes could stop needing to declare structureFlags at all, with them being generated by a common templates helper function. I haven't worked this idea through yet. I'm not sure that this can be determined as a constexpr, and it might be error prone if any class failed to declare dependencies correctly (i.e. if a helper template relied on Base, and a class failed to define this, you might have a subtle error - as it could pick up the parent's Base).

If computing of these flags could be performed by a common helper, then order & usage of Base would necessarily be consistent.

Good point. We live in a magical era where template meta-programming can accomplish wonders!
