Add support for both modes - parsing and post-parsing. In post-parsing mode,
document.write implicitly calls document open, and document.open wipes the
document. This mode is probably rarely, if ever, used.
However, while parsing, document.write does not call document.open and does not
remove all existing nodes. It just writes the html into the document where the
parser is. That isn't something we can properly do..but we can hack it. We
create a new DocumentFragment, parse the html into the document fragment, then
transfer the children into the document where we currently are.
Our hack probably doesn't work for some advance usage of document.write (e.g
nested calls), but it should work for more common cases, e.g. injecting a script
tag.
There are two layers here. The first is that, on startup, a v8 SnapshotCreator
is created, and a snapshot-specific isolate/context is setup with our browser
environment. This contains most of what was in Env.init and a good chunk of
what was in ExecutionWorld.createContext. From this, we create a v8.StartupData
which is used for the creation of all subsequent contexts. The snapshot sits
at the application level, above the Env - it's re-used for all envs/isolates, so
this gives a nice performance boost for both 1 connection opening multiple pages
or multiple connections opening 1 page.
The second layer is that the Snapshot data can be embedded into the binary, so
that it doesn't have to be created on startup, but rather created at build-time.
This improves the startup time (though, I'm not really sure how to measure that
accurately...).
The first layer is the big win (and just works as-is without any build / usage
changes).
with snapshot
total runs 1000
total duration (ms) 7527
avg run duration (ms) 7
min run duration (ms) 5
max run duration (ms) 41
without snapshot
total runs 1000
total duration (ms) 9350
avg run duration (ms) 9
min run duration (ms) 8
max run duration (ms) 42
To embed a snapshot into the binary, we first need to create the snapshot file:
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast snapshot_creator -- src/snapshot.bin
And then build using the new snapshot_path argument:
zig build -Dsnapshot_path=../../snapshot.bin -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
The paths are weird, I know...since it's embedded, it needs to be inside the
project path, hence we put it in src/snapshot.bin. And since it's embedded
relative to the embedder (src/browser/js/Snapshot.zig) the path has to be
relative to that, hence ../../snapshot.bin. I'm open to suggestions on
improving this.
