For new DOM proxies, we could probably use the Xray expando machinery for the
regular expando object as well, and free up one of the reserved slots. That's
more than I want to bite off for the moment, though.
I also decided not to block on bug 760095 and just kick the problem of globals
with new binding down the road a little bit.
I'm not sure this stuff is correct for non-WN objects. Hopefully that will
come out in review.
Anyway, with this change, the expando infrastructure in XrayTraits is now
fully generic and non-WN-specific. To make things work for other objects,
we now need to implement the virtual traps and hoist the code that calls the
expando machinery out of XPCWrappedNativeXrayTraits.
It's still WN-only, now we can move the WN-only bits into virtual traps.
Note that the new-binding reparenting code will need to have a call to
CloneExpandoChain.
We don't currently have a good way of selecting the traits used by a given Xray
wrapper. This lets us do that.
Note: We add a call to js::UnwrapObject to GetXrayType while hoisting it. When
it was used only in WrapperFactory, this was unnecessary, because |obj| was
always unwrapped. But for our new purposes, it might not be. Aside from that,
there are no changes to the function.
With this patch, all holders are created lazily. There are two common accessors,
getHolder() and ensureHolder(). The former returns null if no holder exists, the
latter lazily creates the holder if it doesn't exist. It does this by calling into
a virtual trap on XrayTraits, which lets the appropriate Xray type do its thing.
The current name potentially implies that the object returned is an inner
object in the JS sense, which isn't true. Really we just want the thing
we're Xraying to.
There's some code that can be shared between different Xray traits, but can't
(yet) be hoisted into XrayWrapper, because it needs to be callable from outside
XrayWrapper where we don't have the appropriate template parameters. Moreover,
this code benefits from virtual function specialization. The use case here is
illuminated in the next patch.
For the moment, we skip converting the bulk of the traits calls to virtual
methods, because they're working just fine.
We might as well do this dynamically, which simplifies the code. Note that we
could avoid the reserved slot by parenting the holder to the wrapper. But the
JS parent API is deprecated, and we need to move away from it to reserved slots
anyhow. We might as well start here, with the added advantage that parenting
to the global makes us consistent with the other Xray types.
This is a hack/heuristic to ensure that the JS timezone cache remains
fresh (so that if you navigate to a new page or refresh your gmail, you
always get the right timezone), while not interfering with the role the
cache plays in benchmark performance.
