31 // Methods usually act upon |this| objects only from a single global object and
32 // compartment. Sometimes, however, a method must act upon |this| values from
33 // multiple global objects or compartments. In such cases the |this| value a
34 // method might see will be wrapped, such that various access to the object --
35 // to its class, its private data, its reserved slots, and so on -- will not
36 // work properly without entering that object's compartment. This method
37 // implements a solution to this problem.
38 //
39 // To implement a method that accepts |this| values from multiple compartments,
40 // define two functions. The first function matches the IsAcceptableThis type
41 // and indicates whether the provided value is an acceptable |this| for the
42 // method; it must be a pure function only of its argument.
43 //
44 // static const JSClass AnswerClass = { ... };
45 //
46 // static bool
47 // IsAnswerObject(const Value &v)
48 // {
49 // if (!v.isObject())
50 // return false;
51 // return JS_GetClass(&v.toObject()) == &AnswerClass;
52 // }
53 //
54 // The second function implements the NativeImpl signature and defines the
55 // behavior of the method when it is provided an acceptable |this| value.
56 // Aside from some typing niceties -- see the CallArgs interface for details --
57 // its interface is the same as that of JSNative.
58 //
59 // static bool
60 // answer_getAnswer_impl(JSContext *cx, JS::CallArgs args)
61 // {
62 // args.rval().setInt32(42);
63 // return true;
64 // }
65 //
66 // The implementation function is guaranteed to be called *only* with a |this|
67 // value which is considered acceptable.
68 //
69 // Now to implement the actual method, write a JSNative that calls the method
70 // declared below, passing the appropriate template and runtime arguments.
71 //
72 // static bool
73 // answer_getAnswer(JSContext *cx, unsigned argc, JS::Value *vp)
74 // {
75 // JS::CallArgs args = JS::CallArgsFromVp(argc, vp);
76 // return JS::CallNonGenericMethod<IsAnswerObject, answer_getAnswer_impl>(cx, args);
77 // }
78 //
79 // Note that, because they are used as template arguments, the predicate
80 // and implementation functions must have external linkage. (This is
81 // unfortunate, but GCC wasn't inlining things as one would hope when we
82 // passed them as function arguments.)
83 //
84 // JS::CallNonGenericMethod will test whether |args.thisv()| is acceptable. If
85 // it is, it will call the provided implementation function, which will return
86 // a value and indicate success. If it is not, it will attempt to unwrap
87 // |this| and call the implementation function on the unwrapped |this|. If
88 // that succeeds, all well and good. If it doesn't succeed, a TypeError will
89 // be thrown.
90 //
91 // Note: JS::CallNonGenericMethod will only work correctly if it's called in
92 // tail position in a JSNative. Do not call it from any other place.
