Description Gavin Barraclough 2010-05-24 01:03:30 PDT
Presently the caller of a constructor is responsible for providing a this
object.  Instead, move the object creation into a new op_create_this opcode,
planted in the head of the contructor bytecode for a function.  Since the
prototype for the object is provided by performing a get_by_id on the callee,
also add a new get_callee opcode (this is used to get the callee JSFunction
into a register so that a normal get_by_id can be used).

Currently the caller is also responsible for detecting when op_construct is
performed on a JSFunction representing a host function, in which case an
exception is thrown – and this check currently takes place when constructing
the this object.  Instead, mirroring the recent changes for non-host functions,
add a parallel code-path for native constructors to follow, with a thunk for
invoking native constructors provided by JITStubs, and a constructor-specific
NativeFunction on NativeExecutable.  Provide an implementation of a host
constructor which will throw an exception.
