Normative: Provide source text to HostEnsureCanCompileStrings
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This change provides the source text to be evaluated, and the grammar
symbol that should be used to parse it, to the host hook
HostEnsureCanCompileStrings.

One example of where this is needed is for allowing a Content Security
Policy to provide hashes for code executed via `eval()` or
`new Function()`:
w3c/webappsec-csp#623
This is useful on its own, but has come up again in the topic of
ShadowRealm-HTML integration. In a ShadowRealm you can either execute code
asynchronously, with ShadowRealm.p.importValue, or synchronously, with
ShadowRealm.p.evaluate. Because the latter uses `eval()` inside the
ShadowRealm, it's subject to CSP rules, so the only CSP policy that will
let you execute synchronously in the realm is `unsafe-eval`.

This is a separate needs-consensus PR, rather than being part of the
ShadowRealm proposal, because it's useful independently of ShadowRealm,
and also ShadowRealm would go forward regardless of whether this goes
forward.
