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.
When using CDP, we poll the HTTP clients along with the CDP socket. Because this
polling can be long, we first process any pending message. This can end up
processing _all_ messages, in which case the poll will block for a long time.
This change makes it so that when the initial processing processes 1+ message,
we do not poll, but rather return. This allows the page lifecycle to be
processed normally (and not just blocking on poll, waiting for the CDP client
to send data).
Currently, this hooks a single log.Interceptor into the logging framework, but
changing it to take a list shouldn't be too hard. Biggest issue is who will own
it, as we'd need an allocator to maintain a list / lookup (which log doesn't
currently have).
Uses logFmt format, and, for now, always filters out debug messages and a few
particularly verbose scopes.
This Pr largely tightens up a lot of the code. 'v8' is no longer imported
outside of js. A number of helper functions have been moved to the js.Context.
For example, js.Function.getName used to call:
```zig
return js.valueToString(allocator, name, self.context.isolate, self.context.v8_context);
```
It now calls:
```zig
return self.context.valueToString(name, .{ .allocator = allocator });
```
Page.main_context has been renamed to `Page.js`. This, in combination with new
promise helpers, turns:
```zig
const resolver = page.main_context.createPromiseResolver();
try resolver.resolve({});
return resolver.promise();
```
into:
```zig
return page.js.resolvePromise({});
```
Renames JsContext -> js.Context, JsObject -> js.Object and JsThis -> js.This
which is more consistent with the other types. The JsObject -> js.Object is
the reason so many files were touched.
This is still a [messy] transition, with more refactoring planned to clean it
up.
Back in the zig-js-runtime days, globals were used for the state and webapi
declarations. This caused problems largely because it was done across
compilation units (using @import("root")...).
The generic Env(S, WebApi) was used to solve these problems, while still making
it work for different States and WebApis.
This change removes the generics and hard-codes the *Page as the state and
only supports our WebApis for the class declarations.
To accommodate this change, the runtime/*tests* have been removed. I don't
consider this a huge loss - whatever behavior these were testing, already
exists in the browser/**/*.zig web api.
As we write more complex/complete WebApis, we're seeing more and more cases
that need to rely on js objects directly (JsObject, Function, Promises, etc...).
The goal is to make these easier to use. Rather than using Env.JsObject, you
now import "js.zig" and use js.JsObject (TODO: rename JsObject to Object).
Everything is just a plain Zig struct, rather than being nested in a generic.
After this change, I plan on:
1 - Renaming the js objects, JsObject -> Object. These should be referenced in
the webapi as js.Object, js.This, ...
2 - Splitting the code across multiple files (Env.zig, Context.zig,
Caller.zig, ...)
This changes how non-async module loading works. In general, module loading
is triggered by a v8 callback. We ask it to process a module (a <script type=
module>) and then for every module that it depends on, we get a callback. This
callback expects the nested v8.Module instance, so we need to load it then and
there (as opposed to dynamic imports, where we only have to return a promise).
Previously, we solved this by issuing a blocking HTTP get in each callback. The
HTTP loop was able to continuing downloading already-queued resources, but if
a module depended on 20 nested modules, we'd issue 20 blocking gets one after
the other.
Once a module is compiled, we can ask v8 for a list of its dependent module. We
can them immediately start to download all of those modules. We then evaluate
the original module, which will trigger our callback. At this point, we still
need to block and wait for the response, but we've already started the download
and it's much faster. Sure, for the first module, we might need to wait the same
amount of time, but for the other 19, chances are by the time the callback
executes, we already have it downloaded and ready.
chromedp expects the nodeId starts to 1.
A start to 0 make it enter in infinite loop b/c it expects the Go's
default int, ie 0, to be nil from a map to stop the loop.
If the 0 index is set, it will loop...
Following Zig recommendation not to inline except in specific cases, none of
which I think applies to use.
Also, mimalloc.create can't fail (it used to be possible, but that changed a
while ago), so removed its error return.
