4 Future directions Guide, Mozilla, SpiderMonkey
This article documents future directions in functionality, design, and coding practices for SpiderMonkey. It can be read as something like an "ideal future state" for the engine. That means the code as it is today won't match this document, and that's OK. Whenever practical, new code and changes should move code closer to the ideal future. And of course, the idea of the future is always evolving in time as things change and we learn more.

7 Hacking Tips SpiderMonkey
This page list a few tips to help you investigate issues related to SpiderMonkey. All tips listed here are dealing with the JavaScript shell obtained at the end of the build documentation of SpiderMonkey. It is separated in 2 parts, one section related to debugging and another section related to drafting optimizations. Many of these tips only apply to debug builds of the JS shell; they will not function in a release build.

61 JS::PropertySpecNameToPermanentId JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS::PropertySpecNameToPermanentId creates a jsid that does not need to be marked for GC from JSPropertySpec::name or JSFunctionSpec::name. The resulting jsid, on success, is either an interned string or a well-known symbol; either way it is immune to GC so there is no need to visit *idp during GC marking..
62 JS::ProtoKeyToId JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS::ProtoKeyToId converts a specified JS prototype key key, to a JS ID. JS::ProtoKeyToId stores a jsid to *idp.

64 JS::Rooted JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
Here, ptr represents the private member of JS::Rooted<T>, typed with T.
65 JS::SetLargeAllocationFailureCallback JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
If a large allocation fails when calling pod_{calloc,realloc}CanGC, the JS engine may call the large-allocation- failure callback, if set, to allow the embedding to flush caches, possibly perform shrinking GCs, etc. to make some room. The allocation will then be retried (and may still fail.)
66 JS::SetOutOfMemoryCallback JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
Unlike the error reporter, which is only called if the exception for an OOM bubbles up and is not caught, the JS::OutOfMemoryCallback is called immediately at the OOM site to allow the embedding to capture the current state of heap allocation before anything is freed. If the large-allocation-failure callback is called at all (not all allocation sites call the large-allocation-failure callback on failure), it is called before the out-of-memory callback; the out-of-memory callback is only called if the allocation still fails after the large-allocation-failure callback has returned.
67 JS::SourceBufferHolder JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS::SourceBufferHolder is the container class for passing in script source buffers to the JS engine. This not only groups the buffer and length values, it also provides a way to optionally pass ownership of the buffer to the JS engine without copying. Rules for use:

86 JSBool JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
No summary!
87 JSCheckAccessOp JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
Check whether obj[id] may be accessed per mode, returning JS_FALSE on error/exception, JS_TRUE on success with obj[id]'s stored value in *vp. As for JSPropertyOp, id is either a string or an int jsval.
88 JSClass JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Use JSClass to define a custom class of JavaScript objects. A JSClass has a name, flags, and several callback functions for advanced customization of object behavior.
89 JSClass.call JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Note that when a custom object is called, a this argument is calculated for it just as if it were a function. That is, the obj argument received by the JSNative is the this argument, not the custom object that was called!
90 JSClass.flags JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
The flags field is of type uint32_t. Its value is the logical OR of zero or more of the following constants:
91 JSConstDoubleSpec JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JSConstDoubleSpecs is used to define a set of double values that are assigned as properties to an object using JS_DefineConstDoubles.
92 JSConvertOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSConvertOp callback specifies conversion behavior for objects having this class, implementing the ECMAScript [[DefaultValue]] behavior for them. On success it must return a primitive value in *vp.
93 JSDeletePropertyOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSDeletePropertyOp callback is a hook that applications may install to be called at some point during property access. A JSDeletePropertyOp may be installed on a JSClass to hook property deletes.
94 JSEnumerateOp JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JSEnumerateOp is called just before an object is enumerated (via a for...in statement, an array comprehension, or a call to JS_Enumerate). It should define any remaining lazy properties that should be enumerable but are not yet defined in obj. This hook does not implement iteration: once the properties are defined, the JavaScript engine can enumerate them.
95 JSErrorFormatString JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSErrorFormatString is a struct to represent error message and type, returned by JS_ReportErrorNumber function.
96 JSErrorReport JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JSErrorReport describes a single error that occurs in the execution of script.
97 JSExceptionState JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
A JSExceptionState object is returned by the JS_SaveExceptionState function, and is passed to functions JS_RestoreExceptionState and JS_DropExceptionState.
98 JSExnType JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
These types are part of a JSErrorFormatString structure. They define which error to throw in case of a runtime error. JSEXN_NONE marks an unthrowable error.
99 JSExtendedClass JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
To implement a custom class that uses any of the JSExtendedClass callbacks:
100 JSExtendedClass.outerObject JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
See split objects.
101 JSExtendedClass.wrappedObject JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
If a class has the JSCLASS_IS_EXTENDED bit set in its JSClass.flags and has a non-null JSExtendedClass.wrappedObject, then objects of that class may be wrappers. In a few cases the JavaScript engine will pretend the wrapper isn't there, instead operating on the object it wraps. In these cases the engine calls the JSExtendedClass.wrappedObject callback to get the wrapped object. Most classes do not implement wrappedObject.
102 JSFUN_BOUND_METHOD JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
This macro exists only for backward compatibility with existing applications. Its use is deprecated. Future versions of the JavaScript engine may not support or recognize this macro.
103 JSFUN_GLOBAL_PARENT JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
No summary!
104 JSFastNative JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
No summary!
105 JSFinalizeOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
The JSFinalizeOp is analogous to Java finalizers or C++ destructors. The garbage collector calls this callback for each object it collects. The finalizer's job is to clean up any resources allocated by the instance which wouldn't normally be cleaned up by the garbage collector (private data stored in the object by the application, file handles, etc.)
106 JSFreeOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
Various finalization API takes not JSContext * but rather either JSFreeOp structure or its library-private counterpart FreeOp. These structures wrap parameters that are passed to the finalizers removing most of explicit dependencies on JSContext in the finalization code.
107 JSFunction API, Guide, JSAPI, NeedsContent, SpiderMonkey
JSFunction is a type in the JSAPI. The APIs JS_NewFunction, JS_DefineFunction, JS_CompileFunction, and their Unicode equivalents return values of type JSFunction *.
108 JSFunctionSpec JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JSFunctionSpec defines the attributes for a single JS function to associate with an object. An application typically has an array of JSFunctionSpec to define all the functions for an object and calls JS_DefineFunctions or JS_InitClass to create the functions and assign them to an object.
109 JSGetObjectOps JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JSObjectOps is used by JS_NewObject's internals to discover the set of high-level object operations to use for new objects of the given class. All native objects have a JSClass, which is stored as a private (int-tagged) pointer in object slots. In contrast, all native and host objects have a JSObjectMap at obj->map, which may be shared among a number of objects, and which contains the JSObjectOps *ops pointer used to dispatch object operations from API calls.
110 JSHasInstanceOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSHasInstanceOp is called to check whether v is an instance of obj. Return false on error or exception, true on success with true in *bp if v is an instance of obj, false in *bp otherwise.
111 JSID_EMPTY JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_EMPTY is an internal jsid value which is used in type inference code.
112 JSID_IS_EMPTY JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_IS_EMPTY tests whether a specified JS ID, id, is JSID_EMPTY.
113 JSID_IS_GCTHING JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_IS_GCTHING tests whether a specified JS ID, id, is a GC thing, and returns true if it's a GC thing.
114 JSID_IS_INT JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_IS_INT tests whether a specified JS ID, id, is an integer, and returns true if it's an integer.
115 JSID_IS_STRING JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_IS_STRING tests whether a specified JS ID, id, is a string, and returns true if it's a string.
116 JSID_IS_SYMBOL JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_IS_SYMBOL tests whether a specified JS ID, id, is a JS Symbol, and returns true if it's a JS Symbol.
117 JSID_IS_VOID JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_IS_VOID tests whether a specified JS ID, id, is JSID_VOID.
118 JSID_IS_ZERO JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_IS_ZERO tests whether a specified JS ID, id, is zero (0 in its integer representation).
119 JSID_VOID JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSID_VOID does not occur in JS scripts but may be used to indicate the absence of a valid jsid. A void jsid is not a valid id and only arises as an exceptional API return value, such as in JS_NextProperty. Embeddings must not pass JSID_VOID into JSAPI entry points expecting a jsid and do not need to handle JSID_VOID in hooks receiving a jsid except when explicitly noted in the API contract.
120 JSIdArray JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JSIdArray is used to hold IDs for enumerated properties associated with an object.
121 JSIteratorOp JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
The JavaScript engine calls the JSExtendedClass.iteratorObject callback to create an iterator object for a given object. The callback should return an iterator object or NULL if an error or exception occurred on cx.
122 JSMarkOp JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
Call JS_MarkGCThing for each GC thing directly reachable from obj. Use JSVAL_IS_GCTHING to check whether a value needs to be marked and JSVAL_TO_GCTHING to convert the jsval to a pointer.
123 JSNative JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JSNative is the type of native implementations of JavaScript functions.  Full documentation of how to define a JSNative (or a JSFastNative, the equivalent typedef which preceded it) is available in the API header "js/CallArgs.h" Added in SpiderMonkey 24.  This header is new, but the semantics it describes are applicable to all recent SpiderMonkey releases.  The preferred way to implement a function is to use the JS::CallArgs structure defined there; the macros providing equivalent functionality are deprecated.
124 JSNewEnumerateOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
From SpiderMonkey 38, JSNewEnumerateOp is the type of ObjectOps::enumerate. This callback overrides a portion of SpiderMonkey's default [[Enumerate]] internal method. When an ordinary object is enumerated, that object and each object on its prototype chain is tested for an enumerate op, and those ops are called in order. The properties each op adds to the properties vector are added to the set of values the for-in loop will iterate over. All of this is nonstandard.
125 JSNewResolveOp JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Like JSResolveOp, but flags provide contextual information about the property access.
126 JSObject JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Objects are made up of the following parts:
127 JSObjectOp JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
The callbacks of this type are:
128 JSObjectOps.defaultValue JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
The JSObjectOps.defaultValue callback corresponds to the [[DefaultValue]] method defined in ECMA 262-3 §8.6.2.6. Many expressions in the ECMAScript language, such as a+b, involve implicit conversion of the operands using [[DefaultValue]].
129 JSObjectOps.defineProperty JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Define obj[id], an own property of obj named id, having the given initial value, with the specified getter, setter, and attributes.
130 JSObjectOps.destroyObjectMap JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
No summary!
131 JSObjectOps.dropProperty JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
The following contract governs JSObjectOps callers and implementations:
132 JSObjectOps.enumerate JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
For native objects, the enumerate callback first checks the JSCLASS_NEW_ENUMERATE flag of the object's class. If the flag is present, enumerate simply delegates the call to JSClass.enumerate.
133 JSObjectOps.getAttributes JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Get or set attributes of the property obj[id]. Returns JS_FALSE on error or exception, else JS_TRUE with current attributes in *attrsp. If prop is non-null, it must come from the *propp out parameter of a prior JSObjectOps.defineProperty or JSObjectOps.lookupProperty call.
134 JSObjectOps.getProperty JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Get, set, or delete obj[id], returning JS_FALSE on error or exception, JS_TRUE on success. If getting or setting, the new value is returned in *vp on success.
135 JSObjectOps.getRequiredSlot JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Get and set a required slot, one that should already have been allocated. These operations are infallible, so required slots must be pre-allocated, or implementations must suppress out-of-memory errors. The native ops (js_ObjectOps, see js/src/jsobj.c) access slots reserved by including a call to the JSCLASS_HAS_RESERVED_SLOTS(n) macro in the JSClass.flags initializer.
136 JSObjectOps.lookupProperty JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Look for id in obj and its prototype chain, returning JS_FALSE on error or exception, JS_TRUE on success. On success, return null in *propp if id was not found. If id was found, return the first object searching from obj along its prototype chain in which id names a direct property in *objp, and return a non-null, opaque property pointer in *propp.
137 JSObjectOps.newObjectMap JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Create a new instance of (a concrete subclass of) JSObjectMap (see jsobj.h), with the nrefs and ops members initialized from the same-named parameters, and with the nslots and freeslot members initialized according to ops and clasp. Return null on error, non-null on success.
138 JSObjectOps.setProto JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
These hooks must check for cycles without deadlocking, and otherwise take special steps. See js_SetPrototype or js_SetParent in js/src/jsobj.c for an example.
139 JSObjectPrincipalsFinder JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
The JavaScript engine calls this callback to obtain principals for a JSPrincipals.subsume check.
140 JSPRINCIPALS_HOLD JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JSPRINCIPALS_HOLD and JSPRINCIPALS_DROP are used to manage memory for JSPrincipals objects.
141 JSPrincipals JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSPrincipals is the abstract base class of all principals objects, the objects that identify the source of a function or script and are used to determine its privileges. A principals object is like a Java CodeSource.
142 JSPrincipalsTranscoder
JSPrincipalsTranscoder is the type of a security callback that can be configured using JS_SetPrincipalsTranscoderJSAPI 1.8 and earlier or JS_SetRuntimeSecurityCallbacksAdded in SpiderMonkey 1.8.1.
143 JSProperty JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSProperty is the abstract base class of all object properties. It is used internally in JSObjectOps.lookupProperty, getAttributes, setAttributes, and dropProperty.
144 JSPropertyDescriptor JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
The JSPropertyDescriptor holds the object that has the property, attributes of the property, getter and setter operations, and the value.
145 JSPropertyOp JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
They are also the types of the JSClass.addProperty, getProperty, and setProperty callbacks, which are called during object property accesses.
146 JSPropertySpec JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JSPropertySpec defines the attributes for a single JS property to associate with an object. Pass to JS_DefineProperties or JS_InitClass to create the properties and assign them to an object.
147 JSProtoKey JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
Each of these types corresponds to standard objects in JavaScript. Some of them are Nightly only (depends on each option).
148 JSReserveSlotsOp JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSClass offers the following hook:
149 JSResolveOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSResolveOp callback is a hook which is called when a property is not found on an object.
150 JSRuntime JSAPI Reference, NeedsContent, NeedsUpdate, SpiderMonkey
In the JSAPI, JSRuntime is the top-level object that represents an instance of the JavaScript engine. A program typically has only one JSRuntime, even if it has many threads. The JSRuntime is the universe in which JavaScript objects live; they can't travel to other JSRuntimes.
151 JSSecurityCallbacks.contentSecurityPolicyAllows
Editorial review completed.
152 JSString JSAPI Reference, NeedsContent, SpiderMonkey
Conceptually, a JavaScript string is just an array of char16_t characters and a length. You should not rely on the structure of JSString, because it is subject to change; instead, treat JSString objects as opaque.
153 JSStringFinalizer JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSStringFinalizer::finalize finalizes external strings created by JS_NewExternalString.
154 JSTraceOp JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JSTraceOp is the function type for trace operation of the class called to enumerate all traceable things reachable from obj's private data structure. For each such thing, a trace implementation must call one of the JS_Call*Tracer variants on the thing.
155 JSType JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
No summary!

235 JS_DeleteElement JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_DeleteElement removes a specified element or numeric property, index, from an object, obj. If an object references an element belonging to a prototype, the element reference is removed from the object, but the prototype's element is not deleted. If deletion is successful, JS_DeleteElement returns true. Otherwise it returns false.
236 JS_DeleteElement2 JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_DeleteElement2 removes a specified numeric property, index, from an object, obj. If obj inherits the specified property from a prototype, the property is removed from the object, but not from the prototype.

237 JS_DeleteProperty JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_DeleteProperty removes a specified property, name, from an object, obj. JS_DeletePropertyById is the same but takes a jsid for the property name. These functions are identical to JS_DeleteProperty2 and JS_DeletePropertyById2 except that they do not have an out parameter.
238 JS_DeleteProperty2 JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_DeleteProperty2 removes a specified property, name, from an object, obj, and stores true or false in *succeeded. It behaves like the JavaScript expression delete obj[name]. JS_DeleteUCProperty2 is the Unicode version of the function. JS_DeletePropertyById2 is the same but takes a JS::HandleId for the property name.
239 JS_DestroyContext JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
These functions destroy a context, cx. JS_DestroyContext additionally performs garbage collection to reclaim any memory that was being used by cx's global object. JS_DestroyContextNoGC does not perform garbage collection. JS_DestroyContextMaybeGC may or may not perform garbage collection; the engine makes an educated guess as to whether enough memory would be reclaimed to justify the work.
240 JS_DestroyIdArray JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_DestroyIdArray frees the ID array pointed to by ida.
241 JS_DestroyRuntime JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey

248 JS_EncodeCharacters JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_EncodeCharacters copies the characters of a jschar array into a char array, converting the 16-bit values to 8-bit values. If SpiderMonkey was built with JS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8 defined or JS_SetCStringsAreUTF8 was called, the string is converted to UTF-8.  Otherwise each character is simply truncated to 8 bits.
249 JS_EncodeString JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_EncodeString and JS_EncodeStringToUTF8 convert the specified JavaScript str to a C string (an array of 8-bit chars).
250 JS_EncodeStringToBuffer JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey

254 JS_Enumerate JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_Enumerate gets the ids of all own properties of the specified object, obj, that have the JSPROP_ENUMERATE attribute. (The term own property refers to a property that is not inherited from the object's prototype.) This is not quite the same behavior as a JavaScript for...in loop, which converts all property ids to strings and also enumerates inherited properties.
255 JS_EnumerateDiagnosticMemoryRegions JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_EnumerateDiagnosticMemoryRegions enumerates memory regions that contain diagnostic information intended to be included in crash report minidumps.
256 JS_EnumerateResolvedStandardClasses JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey

The global object's class's enumerate op should call JS_EnumerateStandardClasses(cx, obj), to define eagerly during for...in loops any classes not yet resolved lazily.
258 JS_ErrorFromException JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
If obj is an exception object, the exception will have (or be able to lazily create) an error report struct, and JS_ErrorFromException will return the address of that struct. Otherwise, it returns nullptr. The lifetime of the error report struct that might be returned is the same as the lifetime of the exception object.
259 JS_EvaluateScript JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey

274 JS_GC JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_GC performs garbage collection of JS objects, strings and other internal data structures that are no longer reachable in the specified context or runtime. Garbage collection frees memory so that it can be reused by the system.
275 JS_GET_CLASS JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_GET_CLASS returns a pointer to the JSClass associated with a specified JS object, obj. The application must treat the JSClass as read-only.
276 JS_GetArrayLength JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_GetArrayLength gets the .length property of obj as though by calling JS_GetProperty and converts it to a 32-bit unsigned integer. If obj is an array (see JS_IsArrayObject), this is guaranteed to succeed, because the .length property of an array is always a number and can't be deleted or redefined.
277 JS_GetArrayPrototype JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey

No summary!
293 JS_GetFunctionArity JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_GetFunctionArity returns the number of formal parameters of a function, fun. This is the same as the function object's arity property, if that property has not been overwritten. Specifically, if fun is a native function, the result is the value that was passed to the nargs parameter of JS_DefineFunction. Otherwise fun is implemented in JavaScript, and the result is the number of identifiers in its formal parameter list (see ECMA 262-3 §13).
294 JS_GetFunctionCallback JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Returns the callback currently configured to be called when JavaScript functions are invoked or exited, as established by a prior call to JS_SetFunctionCallback.
295 JS_GetFunctionFlags JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey

If a JSClass has JSCLASS_HAS_RESERVED_SLOTS(n) in its flags, with n > 0, or has a non-null JSClass.reserveSlots callback, then objects of that class have n reserved slots in which the application may store data. These fields are not directly exposed to scripts.
333 JS_GetRuntime JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_GetRuntime retrieves a pointer to the JSRuntime with which a specified JSContext, cx, is associated. Each context is associated with a particular JSRuntime when it is created (see JS_NewContext); JS_GetRuntime provides a convenient, programmatic way to look up the association.
334 JS_GetRuntimePrivate JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Each JSRuntime has a field of type void * which the application may use for any purpose. It is especially useful for storing data which callbacks may then easily access. JS_GetRuntimePrivate gets the value of this field and JS_SetRuntimePrivate sets it. The field is initially NULL.

424 JS_PreventExtensions JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
All JavaScript objects recognize the concept of extensibility: whether new properties may be added to the object.  In some situations, it may be convenient to prohibit new properties.  In JavaScript this may be accomplished using the Object.preventExtensions method.  The similar JSAPI method is JS_PreventExtensions.
425 JS_PropertyStub JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
The stub functions are not designed to be called directly by a JSAPI application. Rather, they are convenient stand-ins anywhere the JSAPI requires callbacks of certain types. Examples at JSClass illustrate how stub functions can be used.
426 JS_PushArguments JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_PushArguments provides a convenient way to translate a series of native C/C++ values to jsvals with a single function call.
427 JS_PutEscapedString JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_PutEscapedString and JS_PutEscapedString write str into buffer escaping any non-printable or non-ASCII character using \escapes for JS string literals. Guarantees that a NUL is at the end of the buffer unless size is 0. Returns the length of the written output, NOT including the NUL. Thus, a return value of size or more means that the output was truncated. If buffer is null, just returns the length of the output. If quote is not 0, it must be a single or double quote character that will quote the output.

431 JS_ReportError JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_ReportError is the simplest JSAPI function for reporting errors. First it builds an error message from the given sprintf-style format string and any additional arguments passed after it. The resulting error message is passed to the context's JSErrorReporter callback, if any.
432 JS_ReportErrorNumber JSAPI Reference, NeedsContent, SpiderMonkey
These functions create a JSErrorReport, populate it with an error message obtained from the given JSErrorCallback, and either report it to the current error reporter callback or create an Error object and set it as the pending exception.
433 JS_ReportOutOfMemory JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Call JS_ReportOutOfMemory to report that an operation failed because the system is out of memory. When the JavaScript engine tries to allocate memory and allocation fails, it reports an error as though by calling this function.
434 JS_ReportPendingException JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
If an exception is pending in the context cx, JS_ReportPendingException converts the exception to a string and reports it to the current error reporter.
435 JS_ResolveStandardClass JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_ResolveStandardClass resolves id, which must contain either a string or an int, to a standard class name in obj if possible, defining the class's constructor and/or prototype and storing true in *resolved. If id does not name a standard class or a top-level property induced by initializing a standard class, store false in *resolved and just return true. Return false on error, as usual for bool result-typed API entry points.
436 JS_RestoreExceptionState JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
This function permits to restore any previously saved exception state which was saved into a JSExceptionState object created by the JS_SaveExceptionState function.
437 JS_SET_TRACING_DETAILS JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Set debugging information about the next thing to be traced by a JSTracer.
438 JS_SameValue JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
SameValue slightly differs from strict equality (===) in that +0 and -0 are not the same and in that NaN is the same as NaN. The SameValue algorithm is equivalent to the following JavaScript:
439 JS_SaveExceptionState JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Saves the current exception state (that is, any pending exception, or a cleared exception state) associated with the specified context cx, and returns a JSExceptionState object holding this state. That object may then be used to restore again the context using JS_RestoreExceptionState, or discarded using JS_DropExceptionState. Either of those two functions frees any memory used by the JSExceptionState.
440 JS_SaveFrameChain JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
These two functions are used to set aside cx's call stack while that stack is inactive. After a call to JS_SaveFrameChain, it looks as if there is no code running on cx. Before calling JS_RestoreFrameChain, cx's call stack must be balanced and all nested calls to JS_SaveFrameChain must have had matching JS_RestoreFrameChain calls.
441 JS_ScheduleGC JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_ScheduleGC sets the nextScheduled parameter of GC.
442 JS_SealObject JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey

443 JS_SetAllNonReservedSlotsToUndefined JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetAllNonReservedSlotsToUndefined assignes undefined to all of obj's own properties, except the special __proto__ and __parent__ properties, in a single operation. Properties belonging to objects on obj's prototype chain are not affected.
444 JS_SetArrayLength JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetArrayLength sets the .length property of an object obj. length indicates the number of elements. JS_SetArrayLength(cx, obj, n) is exactly the same as setting the length property of obj to n using JS_SetProperty. This is true even if obj is not an Array object.
445 JS_SetBranchCallback JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
If the callback returns JS_TRUE, the JS engine continues to execute the script.
446 JS_SetCallReturnValue2 JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Calling JS_SetCallReturnValue2 indicates to the runtime that the native will return a value of type Reference.

460 JS_SetICUMemoryFunctions
Sets the memory allocation and deallocation functions used by the ICU internationalization library.
461 JS_SetInterruptCallback JSAPI_Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
These functions allow setting an interrupt callback that will be called from the JS thread some time after any thread triggered the callback using JS_RequestInterruptCallback.
To schedule the GC and for other activities the engine internally triggers interrupt callbacks. The embedding should thus not rely on callbacks being triggered through the external API only.
462 JS_SetNativeStackQuota JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
No summary!
463 JS_SetObjectPrincipalsFinder JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Set the runtime-wide object-principals-finder callback. This function is deprecated. In SpiderMonkey 1.8.1 or later, use JS_SetRuntimeSecurityCallbacks instead.
464 JS_SetOperationCallback JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
These functions allow setting an operation callback that will be called from the JS thread some time after any thread triggered the callback using JS_TriggerOperationCallback.
To schedule the GC and for other activities the engine internally triggers operation callbacks. The embedding should thus not rely on callbacks being triggered through the external API only.
465 JS_SetOptions JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetOptions sets the option flags of a given JS context cx. This function returns a uint32 value containing the previous values of the flags.
466 JS_SetParent JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetParent sets an object's parent.
467 JS_SetPendingException JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey

469 JS_SetPrivate JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
If a JSClass has the JSCLASS_HAS_PRIVATE flag, each object of that class has a private field of type void * which the application may use for any purpose. It is especially useful for storing C/C++ data that should not be directly visible to scripts. For example, a Socket class might use the private data field to store the socket handle.
470 JS_SetProperty JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetProperty assigns the value v to the property name of the object obj. It behaves like the JavaScript expression obj[name] = v. JS_SetUCProperty is the Unicode version of the function. JS_SetPropertyById is the same but takes a JS::HandleId for the property name.
471 JS_SetPropertyAttributes JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetPropertyAttributes sets the attributes for a specified property, name of an object obj. JS_SetUCPropertyAttributes is the Unicode version of the function.
472 JS_SetPrototype JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetPrototype sets the prototype object for a specified object. A prototype object provides properties that are shared by similar JS object instances. Ordinarily you set a prototype for an object when you create the object with JS_NewObject, but if you do not set a prototype at that time, you can later call JS_SetPrototype to do so.
473 JS_SetRegExpInput JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetRegExpInput sets the pending input string of the built-in RegExp object to the specified input string. The JSREG_MULTILINE is set to multiline parameter, and other flags are all reset.
474 JS_SetScriptStackQuota JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
Set the quota on the number of bytes that stack-like data structures can use when the runtime compiles and executes scripts. These structures also consume heap space, so JS_SetThreadStackLimit does not bound their size. The default quota is 32MB which is quite generous.
475 JS_SetThreadStackLimit JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
No summary!
476 JS_SetVersion JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_SetVersion attempts to set the version of JavaScript to version for a specified executable script context, cx. The version comes from the JSVersion enumerated type.
477 JS_SetVersionForCompartment JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey

487 JS_ThrowStopIteration JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_ThrowStopIteration throws the appropriate StopIteration object for the function currently executing in cx.
488 JS_ToggleOptions JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_ToggleOptions toggles context-wide options. It is equivalent to JS_SetOptions(cx, JS_GetOptions(cx) ^ options).
489 JS_TracerInit JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_TraceChildren and other tracing APIs call the tracer callback for each traceable thing directly referenced by a particular object or runtime structure. It is the callback's responsibility to ensure the traversal of the full object graph, if desired, by eventually calling JS_TraceChildren on the passed thing. In this case the callback must be prepared to deal with cycles in the traversal graph.
490 JS_TypeOfValue JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_TypeOfValue examines a specified JS value, v, and returns its JS data type. The return value is always one of JSTYPE_VOID, JSTYPE_OBJECT, JSTYPE_FUNCTION, JSTYPE_STRING, JSTYPE_NUMBER, or JSTYPE_BOOLEAN.
491 JS_Unlock JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Unlock a previously locked JS run-time environment.
492 JS_ValueToBoolean JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_ValueToBoolean converts a specified JavaScript value, v, to a boolean value. It implements the ToBoolean operator specified in ECMA 262-3 §9.2. On success, JS_ValueToBoolean stores the converted value in *bp and returns JS_TRUE. On error or exception, it returns JS_FALSE, and the value left in *bp is undefined.
493 JS_ValueToECMAInt32 JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey

Convert a JS::Value to a JSFunction.
495 JS_ValueToId JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_ValueToId converts a specified JS::Value, v, to a jsid. If v is an integer, *idp receives an integer jsid. Otherwise, if E4X support is enabled and v is an object, *idp receives an object jsid. Otherwise, *idp receives an interned string jsid based on the value of v. If v is not a string, it is converted to a string as if by calling JS_ValueToString.
496 JS_ValueToInt32 JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_ValueToInt32 converts a specified JS value, v, to a 32-bit signed integer (-2147483648 to 2147483647). First it converts v to a floating-point number as if by calling JS::ToNumber. If the result is NaN, an infinity, or a number outside the 32-bit range, JS_ValueToInt32 reports an error and conversion fails. Otherwise, the floating-point number is rounded to the nearest integer value.
497 JS_ValueToNumber JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
JS_ValueToNumber converts a JavaScript value to a number. It implements the ToNumber operator described in ECMA 262-3 §9.3.
498 JS_ValueToObject JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_ValueToObject converts a specified JavaScript value, v, to an object. On success, this function stores either NULL or a pointer to the resulting object in *objp and returns true. Otherwise it returns false and the value left in *objp is unspecified.

501 JS_VersionToString JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_VersionToString attempts to convert the version to a const char * string representation. JS_VersionToString may return any of the following values:
502 JS_YieldRequest JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
Momentarily suspend the current JSAPI request, allowing garbage collection to run if another thread has requested it.
503 JS_freeop JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_freeop is a wrapper for js_free(p) that may delay js_free(p) invocation as a performance optimization as specified by the given JSFreeOp instance.
504 JS_malloc JSAPI Reference, SpiderMonkey
JS_malloc allocates a region of memory nbytes in size. On success, JS_malloc returns a pointer to the beginning of the region. As with the standard C function malloc, memory allocated by JS_malloc is uninitialized.
505 JS_updateMallocCounter JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
JS_updateMallocCounter decrements malloc counter of GC and the zone of the context.
506 OBJECT_TO_JSVAL JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
OBJECT_TO_JSVAL casts obj from type JSObject * to jsval. If obj is NULL, the result is JSVAL_NULL.
507 PRIVATE_TO_JSVAL JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
With PRIVATE_TO_JSVAL(), an application can store a private data pointer, p, as a jsval. This can be useful with reserved slots.
508 Property attributes Attribute, JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
Some property attributes are defined in the ECMAScript standard, in ECMA 262-3 §8.6.1. SpiderMonkey additionally defines several non-standard property attributes.
509 STRING_TO_JSVAL JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
STRING_TO_JSVAL casts a given JSString * to jsval. str must be a non-null pointer of type JSString *. The conversion always succeeds.
510 Stored value JSAPI Reference, JavaScript, SpiderMonkey
In the JSAPI, the stored value of an object property is its last known value. For a data property, this is exactly the same thing as the property's current value.
511 jschar JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
jschar, a typedef for the standard C++ type char16_t, will be removed in JSAPI 38. Functions that use jschar will use char16_t directly. Embedder code should use char16_t, too. (See bug 1063962.)
512 jsdouble JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey
jsdouble is a C floating-point number type. It is defined to be a 64-bit, IEEE 754 compliant type. See ECMA 262-3 §8.5. Arithmetic on jsdouble values in C should behave exactly like the floating-point arithmetic in JavaScript, except that C and JavaScript may treat not-a-number values differently.
513 jsid JSAPI Reference, Reference, Référence, SpiderMonkey
jsid is either a 31-bit signed integer, interned string or object.
514 jsint JSAPI Reference, Obsolete, SpiderMonkey

526 SpiderMonkey Internals Guide, JavaScript, NeedsUpdate, SpiderMonkey
At heart, SpiderMonkey is a fast interpreter that runs an untyped bytecode and operates on values of type JS::Value—type-tagged values that represent the full range of JavaScript values. In addition to the interpreter, SpiderMonkey contains a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler, a garbage collector, code implementing the basic behavior of JavaScript values, a standard library implementing ECMA 262-5.1 §15 with various extensions, and a few public APIs.
527 64-bit Compatibility SpiderMonkey
The following types or typedefs are always 64-bit on 64-bit platforms, and 32-bit on 32-bit platforms:
528 Bytecode Descriptions SpiderMonkey
This document is automatically generated from Opcodes.h by make_opcode_doc.py.
529 Bytecodes SpiderMonkey
SpiderMonkey bytecodes are the canonical form of code representation that is used in the JavaScript engine. The JavaScript frontend constructs an AST from the source text, then emits stack-based bytecodes from that AST as a part of the JSScript data structure. Bytecodes can reference atoms and objects (typically by array index) which are also contained in the JSScript data structure.
530 Functions SpiderMonkey
There are several flavors of JavaScript function. All are JSObjects of the same class, js_FunctionClass.
531 Garbage collection Guide, NeedsContent, SpiderMonkey
SpiderMonkey has a mark-sweep garbage collection (GC) with an optionally enabled incremental marking mode. The mark phase uses a mark stack, as required by incremental marking. Sweeping of objects without finalizers is deferred to a background thread.
532 Invariants SpiderMonkey
or, "The Zen of SpiderMonkey".
533 Property cache SpiderMonkey
SpiderMonkey's property cache is an internal data structure used to speed up property accesses in the interpreter and to communicate between the interpreter and JIT.
534 Self-hosted builtins in SpiderMonkey JavaScript, SpiderMonkey
All self-hosted code is strict, so self-hosted functions invoked in a null or undefined scope won't be run in the scope of the global object.
535 SpiderMonkey Internals: Thread Safety Guide, SpiderMonkey
This page describes implementation details of the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine. It is mainly of interest to people working on SpiderMonkey itself. See JS_THREADSAFE for a gentler introduction to using SpiderMonkey in a multi-threaded application.
536 Tracing JIT SpiderMonkey
The tracing JIT in SpiderMonkey consists of a generic, low level component called nanojit which is co-maintained between Adobe and Mozilla, and a SpiderMonkey-specific high level component called jstracer. The nanojit component is language agnostic, and contains no knowledge about SpiderMonkey or any other part of the Mozilla codebase. The jstracer component consists of a monitor and a recorder. The monitor watches the executing SpiderMonkey interpreter. When the monitor determines that the interpreter has entered a region of code that would benefit from native compilation, the monitor activates the recorder. The recorder records the activity of the interpreter, using nanojit to build an efficient, native representation of the execution called a fragment. The monitor then calls into the native code stored in the fragment.
