and exception specifications for native types.
Now the raised exception contains the string value as the exception
message instead of just the C/C++ type of the exception.
R exceptions were completely swallowed beforehand
For implementing full move semantics when passing parameters by value.
Based on SWIGTYPE && and std::unique_ptr typemaps which implement move
semantics.
Added for all languages, but untested for: Go, Ocaml, R, Scilab (and
unlikely to be fully functional for same reasons as for std::unique_ptr
support).
Issue #999
* vaughamhong-master:
fixed build error - ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code for jsc
touch to kickoff another build - from accidental close pull request
Implemented SetModule / GetModule for JSC to allow type sharing across modules - with fix for passing NULL to non-pointer argument
Implemented SetModule / GetModule for JSC to allow type sharing across modules
SWIGJSC_ValueIsArray could be implemented by JSValueIsArray in later
versions of Javascript webkit, similar fix to previous commits for v8.
Enhance testing of OUTPUT typemaps to test more than one output.
Tests for std::vector of pointers added which check
std::vector<T*>::const_reference and std::vector<T*>::reference
usage which gave compilation errors in Python and Perl which had
specialized these vectors incorrectly.
Overloading support for Javascript is generally incomplete as there are
no typecheck typemaps, so the overloading and NULL support added here
doesn't work and won't work until the typecheck typemaps are
implemented.
Fixes missing type information for std::complex in scripting languages.
Closes#732.
Update Javascript and Octave complextest, although they don't actually
get run as they don't work
Adds preprocessor checks to avoid defining functions that use long long if it isn't available
Effects the following languages: javascript, octave, perl, python, r, ruby, tcl
JSObjectMakeError automatically populates the "message" field, and possibly other fields I don't know about. This seems to be the most robust way to create an exception object.
Thanks to Brian Barnes again for the tip on JSObjectMakeError.
It is unclear what the correct handling is for JavaScriptCore. (Nobody bothers to document this in JSCore.) Unlike our other problem where we incorrectly assume JSObjectRef when the functions want JSValueRef, this time Apple is demanding the JSObjectRef. Like our other problem, I assume it is unsafe to try to convert Undefined into a JSObjectRef.
So reverting to NULL seems like the safer bet for this specific case. Perhaps the other alternative is to return an exception object or an error object. But I would like to see JSCore document this before trying.
According to this:
http://parmanoir.com/Taming_JavascriptCore_within_and_without_WebView
Returning NULL instead of an actual JSValueRef for a return value of a function could lead to crashes. I think I have seen related weirdness in the past when I failed to return a proper type to JSCore which resulted in very hard to understand behavior.
So this patch changes those return NULLs to return JSValueMakeUndefined().
I thought about JSObjectMakeError, but I don't fully understand the intent of the Error object and can't find any relevant real world examples of it being used. However, everybody seems to be using JSValueMakeUndefined().
This patch should be low impact since this is only triggered on an error condition.
The current implementation only returns an error string. But this is insufficient for debugging (what file and line number did it fail at?).
As documented here:
http://parmanoir.com/Taming_JavascriptCore_within_and_without_WebView
converting the JSValueRef of string to an JSObjectRef (via JSValueToObject) will trigger JSCore into filling the "sourceURL" and "line" properties into the object so they can be inspected by the caller.
Additionally, JavaScriptCore has a "message" property which contains the message string. JSCore doesn't seem to be filling this in for us automatically, unlike "sourceURL" and "line". So this patch also fills that property in too.
Thanks to Brian Barnes for the detailed information about "sourceURL", "line", and "message".
Below is an example (derived from Brian Barnes's information) on how you typically use/extract these exception details.
void script_exception_to_string(JSContextRef js_context,JSValueRef exception_value_ref,char* return_error_string, int return_error_string_max_length)
{
JSObjectRef exception_object;
JSValueRef value_ref;
JSStringRef jsstring_property_name = NULL;
JSValueRef temporary_exception = NULL;
JSStringRef js_return_string = NULL;
size_t bytes_needed;
char* c_result_string = NULL;
exception_object = JSValueToObject(js_context, exception_value_ref, NULL);
// source and line numbers
strcpy(return_error_string,"[");
jsstring_property_name = JSStringCreateWithUTF8CString("sourceURL");
value_ref = JSObjectGetProperty(js_context, exception_object, jsstring_property_name, &temporary_exception);
JSStringRelease(jsstring_property_name);
js_return_string = JSValueToStringCopy(js_context, value_ref, NULL);
bytes_needed = JSStringGetMaximumUTF8CStringSize(js_return_string);
c_result_string = (char*)calloc(bytes_needed, sizeof(char));
JSStringGetUTF8CString(js_return_string, c_result_string, bytes_needed);
SDL_Log("c_result_string: %s\n", c_result_string);
JSStringRelease(js_return_string);
strncat(return_error_string, c_result_string, return_error_string_max_length-1);
free(c_result_string);
strncat(return_error_string, ":", return_error_string_max_length-1);
jsstring_property_name = JSStringCreateWithUTF8CString("line");
value_ref = JSObjectGetProperty(js_context, exception_object, jsstring_property_name, &temporary_exception);
JSStringRelease(jsstring_property_name);
js_return_string = JSValueToStringCopy(js_context, value_ref, NULL);
bytes_needed = JSStringGetMaximumUTF8CStringSize(js_return_string);
c_result_string = (char*)calloc(bytes_needed, sizeof(char));
JSStringGetUTF8CString(js_return_string, c_result_string, bytes_needed);
SDL_Log("c_result_string: %s\n", c_result_string);
JSStringRelease(js_return_string);
strncat(return_error_string, c_result_string, return_error_string_max_length-1);
//SDL_Log("c_result_string: %s\n", c_result_string);
free(c_result_string);
strncat(return_error_string, "]", return_error_string_max_length-1);
/* get message */
jsstring_property_name = JSStringCreateWithUTF8CString("message");
value_ref = JSObjectGetProperty(js_context, exception_object, jsstring_property_name, &temporary_exception);
JSStringRelease(jsstring_property_name);
if(NULL == value_ref)
{
strncat(return_error_string, "Unknown Error", return_error_string_max_length-1);
}
else
{
js_return_string = JSValueToStringCopy(js_context, value_ref, NULL);
bytes_needed = JSStringGetMaximumUTF8CStringSize(js_return_string);
c_result_string = (char*)calloc(bytes_needed, sizeof(char));
JSStringGetUTF8CString(js_return_string, c_result_string, bytes_needed);
SDL_Log("c_result_string: %s\n", c_result_string);
JSStringRelease(js_return_string);
strncat(return_error_string, c_result_string, return_error_string_max_length-1);
//SDL_Log("c_result_string: %s\n", c_result_string);
free(c_result_string);
}
}
To use:
if(js_exception)
{
char return_error_string[256];
script_exception_to_string(js_context, js_exception, return_error_string, 256);
SDL_Log("Compile error is %s", return_error_string);
}
It is common in C to accept NULL to functions for pointer parameters.
extern void DoSomething(struct Foo* foo);
...
DoSomething(NULL);
Thus, JavaScript null should be allowed:
module.DoSomething(null);
But the current ConvertPtr definition accepts only objects. This modifies it to allow null.
