See "/mfbt/Result.h". + * + * + * ## Which return type to use + * + * `Result` is for return values. Obviously, if you're writing a function that + * can't fail, don't use Result. Otherwise: + * + * JS::Result<> - function can fail, doesn't return anything on success + * (defaults to `JS::Result<JS::Ok, JS::Error>`) + * JS::Result<JS::Ok, JS::OOM> - like JS::Result<>, but fails only on OOM + * + * JS::Result<Data> - function can fail, returns Data on success + * JS::Result<Data, JS::OOM> - returns Data, fails only on OOM + * + * mozilla::GenericErrorResult<JS::Error> - always fails + * + * That last type is like a Result with no success type. It's used for + * functions like `js::ReportNotFunction` that always return an error + * result. `GenericErrorResult<E>` implicitly converts to `Result<V, E>`, + * regardless of V. + * + * + * ## Checking Results when your return type is Result + * + * When you call a function that returns a `Result`, use the `MOZ_TRY` macro to + * check for errors: + * + * MOZ_TRY(DefenestrateObject(cx, obj)); + * + * If `DefenestrateObject` returns a success result, `MOZ_TRY` is done, and + * control flows to the next statement. If `DefenestrateObject` returns an + * error result, `MOZ_TRY` will immediately return it, propagating the error to + * your caller. It's kind of like exceptions, but more explicit -- you can see + * in the code exactly where errors can happen. + * + * You can do a tail call instead of using `MOZ_TRY`: + * + * return DefenestrateObject(cx, obj); + * + * Indicate success with `return Ok();`. + * + * If the function returns a value on success, use `MOZ_TRY_VAR` to get it: + * + * RootedValue thrug(cx); + * MOZ_TRY_VAR(thrug, GetObjectThrug(cx, obj)); + * + * This behaves the same as `MOZ_TRY` on error. On success, the success + * value of `GetObjectThrug(cx, obj)` is assigned to the variable `thrug`. + * + * + * ## Checking Results when your return type is not Result + * + * This header defines alternatives to MOZ_TRY and MOZ_TRY_VAR for when you + * need to call a `Result` function from a function that uses false or nullptr + * to indicate errors: + * + * JS_TRY_OR_RETURN_FALSE(cx, DefenestrateObject(cx, obj)); + * JS_TRY_VAR_OR_RETURN_FALSE(cx, v, GetObjectThrug(cx, obj)); + * + * JS_TRY_OR_RETURN_NULL(cx, DefenestrateObject(cx, obj)); + * JS_TRY_VAR_OR_RETURN_NULL(cx, v, GetObjectThrug(cx, obj)); + * + * When TRY is not what you want, because you need to do some cleanup or + * recovery on error, use this idiom: + * + * if (!cx->resultToBool(expr_that_is_a_Result)) { + * ... your recovery code here ... + * } + * + * In place of a tail call, you can use one of these methods: + * + * return cx->resultToBool(expr); // false on error + * return cx->resultToPtr(expr); // null on error + * + * Once we are using `Result` everywhere, including in public APIs, all of + * these will go away. + * + * + * ## GC safety + * + * When a function returns a `JS::Result<JSObject*>`, it is the program's + * responsibility to check for errors and root the object before continuing: + * + * RootedObject wrapper(cx); + * MOZ_TRY_VAR(wrapper, Enwrapify(cx, thing)); + * + * This is ideal. On error, there is no object to root; on success, the + * assignment to wrapper roots it. GC safety is ensured. + * + * `Result` has methods .isOk(), .isErr(), .unwrap(), and .unwrapErr(), but if + * you're actually using them, it's possible to create a GC hazard. The static + * analysis will catch it if so, but that's hardly convenient. So try to stick + * to the idioms shown above. + * + * + * ## Future directions + * + * At present, JS::Error and JS::OOM are empty structs. The plan is to make them + * GC things that contain the actual error information (including the exception + * value and a saved stack). + * + * The long-term plan is to remove JS_IsExceptionPending and + * JS_GetPendingException in favor of JS::Error. Exception state will no longer + * exist. + */ + +#ifndef js_Result_h +#define js_Result_h + +#include "mozilla/Result.h" + +/** + * Evaluate the boolean expression expr.
