* Rename hobject helper functions for property entry access.
* Add helpers for looking up _Formals and _Varmap without inheritance.
* Add duk_xget_owndataprop() + variants for internal property lookups
without inheritance or side effects.
* Date built-in fix for .setTime(), .setYear(), etc on a frozen Date
instance. These should be allowed because they operate on an internal
slot which is not under normal property access control. Previously
the operations were incorrectly rejected with a TypeError.
* Changes to internal property definition and lookup here and there.
Mostly the changes should be no-op because e.g. inheritance only
matters if the internal property might be missing (which is not
usually the case).
* Convert memory helpers like duk_memcmp() to macros where possible: for some
reason automatic inlining with -Os doesn't do the right thing and the
footprint impact is over 1kB. The duk_memcmp() helper is an inlined
function because it returns a value and assertions would otherwise lead
to multiple evaluation of arguments.
* Differentiate between C99+ and "unsafe" call sites. For example, use
duk_memcpy() when the call site obeys C99+ restrictions, and
duk_memcpy_unsafe() when either pointer may be NULL when the size is zero.
Same for all helpers.
Add internal helpers to deal with undefined behavior cases explicitly.
When DUK_USE_ALLOW_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR is set, skip the (almost always
unnecessary) explicit checks to improve footprint and performance.
Also split duk_util_misc.c into a few better scoped files.
Both duk_hthread and duk_context typedefs resolve to struct duk_hthread
internally. In external API duk_context resolves to struct duk_hthread
which is intentionally left undefined as the struct itself is not
dereferenced. Change internal code to use duk_hthread exclusively which
removes unnecessary and awkward thr <-> ctx casts from internals.
The basic guidelines are:
* Public API uses duk_context in prototype declarations. The intent is to
hide the internal type, and there's already a wide dependency on the
type name.
* All internal code, both declarations and definitions, use duk_hthread
exclusively. This is done even for API functions, i.e. an API function
declared as "void duk_foo(duk_context *ctx);" is then defined as
"void duk_foo(duk_hthread *thr);".
* Strings with 0xFF byte prefix are considered special symbols: they have
typeof "symbol" but still mostly behave as strings (e.g. allow ToString)
so that existing code dealing with internal keys, especially inside
Duktape, can work with fewer changes.
* Strings with 0x80 byte prefix are global symbols, e.g. Symbol.for('foo')
creates the byte representatio: 0x80 "foo"
* Strings with 0x81 byte prefix are unique symbols; the 0x81 byte is followed
by the Symbol description, and an internal string component ensuring
uniqueness is separated by a 0xFF byte (which can never appear anywhere in
an extended UTF-8 string). The unique suffix is up to Duktape internals,
currently two 32-bit counters are used. For example:
0x81 "mySymbol" 0xFF "0-17".
* Well-known symbols use the 0x81 prefix but lack a unique suffix, so their
format is 0x81 <description> 0xFF.
* ES6 distinguishes between an undefined symbol description and an empty
string symbol description. This distinction is not currently visible via
Ecmascript bindings but may be visible in the future. Append an extra
0xFF to the unique suffix when the description is undefined, i.e.
0x81 0xFF <unique suffix> 0xFF.
