The typeof operator has a very small set of possible resulting strings,
so let's make it much faster by caching those strings on the VM.
~8x speed-up on this microbenchmark:
for (let i = 0; i < 10_000_000; ++i) {
typeof i;
}
For performance, rather than slowly incrementing the capacity of the
rope string's buffer, compute an approximate length for that buffer to
be reserved up front.
The JS::Error types all store their exception messages as a String. So
by using ByteString, we hit the StringView constructor, and end up
allocating the same string twice.
On PowerPC 64 pointers can use all 64 bits, however by convention on
Linux user-space addresses use only the lower 43 bits.
I'm not 100% certain that the masking off of the 16 high bits is the
proper solution, but it matches the rest of the LibJS code which assumes
pointers only use the lower 48 bits.

When compiling with `-O2 -g1` optimizations (as done in the main
Serenity build), no out-of-line definitions end up emitted for
`Value::to_numeric`, causing files that reference the function but don't
include the definition from `ValueInlines.h` to add an undefined
reference in LibJS.so.

The changes to tests are due to LibTimeZone incorrectly interpreting
time stamps in the TZDB. The TZDB will list zone transitions in either
UTC or the zone's local time (which is then subject to DST offsets).
LibTimeZone did not handle the latter at all.
For example:
The following rule is in effect until November 18, 6PM UTC.
America/Chicago -5:50:36 - LMT 1883 Nov 18 18:00u
The following rule is in effect until March 1, 2AM in Chicago time. But
at that time, a DST transition occurs, so the local time is actually
3AM.
America/Chicago -6:00 Chicago C%sT 1936 Mar 1 2:00
This required updating some LibJS spec steps to their latest versions,
as the data expected by the old steps does not quite match the APIs that
are available with the ICU. The new spec steps are much more aligned.
LibLocale was split off from LibUnicode a couple years ago to reduce the
number of applications on SerenityOS that depend on CLDR data. Now that
we use ICU, both LibUnicode and LibLocale are actually linking in this
data. And since vcpkg gives us static libraries, both libraries are over
30MB in size.
This patch reverts the separation and merges LibLocale into LibUnicode
again. We now have just one library that includes the ICU data.
Further, this will let LibUnicode share the locale cache that previously
would only exist in LibLocale.
There have been a number of changes to the locale resolution AOs that
we've fallen behind on. Mostly editorial, but includes one normative
change to canonicalize Unicode extension keywords in the Intl.Locale
constructor.
Instead of taking an out-parameter, return the canonicalization result.
This allows the API to be used where specs want to store the result and
the original values in separate variables.
ListFormat was the first formatter I ported to ICU. This patch makes it
match the style of subsequently ported formatters, where we create the
formatter once per Intl object, rather than once per prototype
invocation.
We were previously treating undefined and null as the same (an empty
Optional). However, there are edge cases in ECMA-402 where we must treat
them differently. Namely, the hour cycle (hc) keyword. An undefined hc
value has no effect on the resolved locale, whereas a null hc value can
actively override any hc specified in the locale string. For example:
new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-u-hc-h11", { hour12: false });
In that object, the hour12 option does not match the u-hc-h11 value. So
the spec dictates we remove the hc value by setting it to null.
This uses ICU for all of the Intl.PluralRules prototypes, which lets us
remove all data from our plural rules generator.
Plural rules depend directly on internal data from the number formatter,
so rather than creating a separate Locale::PluralRules class (which will
make accessing that data awkward), this adds plural rules APIs to the
existing Locale::NumberFormat.
The proposal has undergone quite a few normative changes since we last
synced with it. There was a time when it could not be implemented as it
was written, which is no longer the case. The resulting proposal has had
so many changes compared to our implementation, that it wouldn't make
sense to implement them commit-by-commit as we normally do. So instead,
this just implements the HEAD revision of the spec in one pass.
This uses ICU for the Intl.DateTimeFormat `format` `formatToParts`,
`formatRange`, and `formatRangeToParts`.
This lets us remove most data from our date-time format generator. All
that remains are time zone data and locale week info, which are relied
upon still for other interfaces. So they will be removed in a future
patch.
Note: All of the changes to the test files in this patch are now aligned
with other browsers. This includes:
* Some very incorrect formatting of Japanese symbols. (Looking at the
old results now, it's very obvious they were wrong.)
* Old FIXMEs regarding range formatting not including the start/end date
when only time fields were requested, but the dates differ.
* Day period inconsistencies.
Properties marked with the [[Unimplemented]] attribute behave as normal
but invoke the `VM::on_unimplemented_property_access callback` when
they are accessed.
The IntlMV is meant to be arbitrarily precise. If the user provides a
string value to be formatted, we lose precision by converting extremely
large values to a double. We were never able to address this, as support
for arbitrary precision was a big FIXME. But ICU can handle it by just
passing the raw string on through.
This uses ICU for the Intl.NumberFormat `formatRange` and
`formatRangeToParts` prototypes.
Note: All of the changes to the test files in this patch are now aligned
with both Chrome and Safari.
This uses ICU for the Intl.NumberFormat `format` and `formatToParts`
prototypes. It does not yet port the range formatter prototypes.
Most of the new code in LibLocale/NumberFormat is simply mapping from
ECMA-402 types to ICU types. Beyond that, the only algorithmic change is
that we have to mutate the output from ICU for `formatToParts` to match
what is expected by ECMA-402. This is explained in NumberFormat.cpp in
`flatten_partitions`.
This lets us remove most data from our number format generator. All that
remains are numbering system digits and symbols, which are relied upon
still for other interfaces (e.g. Intl.DateTimeFormat). So they will be
removed in a future patch.
Note: All of the changes to the test files in this patch are now aligned
with both Chrome and Safari.
Note: We keep locale parsing and syntactic validation as-is. ECMA-402
places additional restrictions on locales above what is required by the
Unicode spec. ICU doesn't provide methods that let us easily check those
restrictions, whereas LibLocale does. Other browsers also implement
their own validators here.
This introduces a locale cache to re-use parsed locale data and various
related structures (not doing so has a non-negligible performance impact
on Intl tests).
The existing APIs for canonicalization and display names are pretty
intertwined, so they must both be adapted at once here. The results of
canonicalization are slightly different on some edge cases. But the
changed results are actually now aligned with Chrome and Safari.
