src: retrieve binding data from the context #33139

This is mostly taken from the common subset of #32761 and #32984, with a few modifications on top of it (notably, BindingData does not make sense as a class any longer and can be replaced by BaseObject directly).


Instead of passing them through the data bound to function
templates, store references to them in a list embedded inside
the context, and store the integer index
(which is context-independent) in the function template data.
This makes the function templates more context-independent,
and makes it possible to embed binding data in non-main contexts.

Why was the BindingDataBase abstraction removed? I think it's beneficial to have a common base class for them (for one, they share the characteristic that they are one-per-context, so for example we can add some checks for that, or do bookkeeping otherwise)

@joyeecheung Because the class doesn’t currently add any extra value – it just forwards directly to BaseObject without functionality on its own. The only reason that my PR originally introduced it was to store the v8::External associated with it, but this PR is rendering that unnecessary.

If we do run into a situation in which we want to add something here it, adding an intermediate class should be straightforward.

This makes the function templates more context-independent, and makes it possible to embed binding data in non-main contexts.

Can you elaborate? I either don't understand:

  1. what currently doesn't work with non-main contexts, or
  2. why that is useful if "non-main" means "non-node"

Maybe we should use a map to store these bindings, and add static methods to all the BindingDataBase subclass to return the same name as their internalBinding() identifier. Then we can just get the bindings via a look up using T::binding_name() as key and there will be no need for BindingScope (the binding initializers can make sure a pair of T::binding_name(), new T(env, target) is inserted into the map) or adding any data parameter to the Function Templates. Also then there's no need for the default callback data (because we'll just get the Environment from the Environment slot).

If we just use unordered map the lookup overhead is constant like std::vector anyways (but it probably doesn't matter that much given the size of this map)

@joyeecheung No strong feelings here, and happy to make the switch if you think that should happen in this PR.

I was thinking about doing changes like this to my patch before I open a PR myself, so I guess yes I'd like to see it happen here as I saw the old patch as incomplete.

@joyeecheung Done, including the removal of NoBindingData and BindingScope 🙂 PTAL

@bnoordhuis Currently the function templates are created with a v8::Object as its attached data, and v8::Objects are context-dependent (because they reference the Object constructor of one particular context through the prototype chain), and need to go into the context snapshot, whereas function templates are context-independent and goes into the isolate snapshot - then attaching context-dependent objects to context-independent templates makes the templates non-snapshottable.

why that is useful if "non-main" means "non-node"

The idea is to make it possible to create "non-main" contexts with their Node.js builtins - that is, "non-main but node" contexts
