michael@0 31 // Methods usually act upon |this| objects only from a single global object and
michael@0 32 // compartment. Sometimes, however, a method must act upon |this| values from
michael@0 33 // multiple global objects or compartments. In such cases the |this| value a
michael@0 34 // method might see will be wrapped, such that various access to the object --
michael@0 35 // to its class, its private data, its reserved slots, and so on -- will not
michael@0 36 // work properly without entering that object's compartment. This method
michael@0 37 // implements a solution to this problem.
michael@0 38 //
michael@0 39 // To implement a method that accepts |this| values from multiple compartments,
michael@0 40 // define two functions. The first function matches the IsAcceptableThis type
michael@0 41 // and indicates whether the provided value is an acceptable |this| for the
michael@0 42 // method; it must be a pure function only of its argument.

michael@0 53 //
michael@0 54 // The second function implements the NativeImpl signature and defines the
michael@0 55 // behavior of the method when it is provided an acceptable |this| value.
michael@0 56 // Aside from some typing niceties -- see the CallArgs interface for details --
michael@0 57 // its interface is the same as that of JSNative.

michael@0 63 // return true;
michael@0 64 // }
michael@0 65 //
michael@0 66 // The implementation function is guaranteed to be called *only* with a |this|
michael@0 67 // value which is considered acceptable.
michael@0 68 //
michael@0 69 // Now to implement the actual method, write a JSNative that calls the method
michael@0 70 // declared below, passing the appropriate template and runtime arguments.

michael@0 78 //
michael@0 79 // Note that, because they are used as template arguments, the predicate
michael@0 80 // and implementation functions must have external linkage. (This is
michael@0 81 // unfortunate, but GCC wasn't inlining things as one would hope when we
michael@0 82 // passed them as function arguments.)
michael@0 83 //
michael@0 84 // JS::CallNonGenericMethod will test whether |args.thisv()| is acceptable. If
michael@0 85 // it is, it will call the provided implementation function, which will return
michael@0 86 // a value and indicate success. If it is not, it will attempt to unwrap
michael@0 87 // |this| and call the implementation function on the unwrapped |this|. If
michael@0 88 // that succeeds, all well and good. If it doesn't succeed, a TypeError will
michael@0 89 // be thrown.
michael@0 90 //
michael@0 91 // Note: JS::CallNonGenericMethod will only work correctly if it's called in
michael@0 92 // tail position in a JSNative. Do not call it from any other place.
