Summary

Allow attaching information about which functions should be eager parsed &
compiled in JavaScript files. The information will be encoded as magic
comments.

We'll be experimenting with different magic comment formats, e.g., marking
all functions in a file for eager compilation, or marking only a subset of
functions.

Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

No interoperability / compatibility risks. Other browsers are likely to
ignore the hints if they perceive they cannot benefit from them. Ignoring
the hint is allowed behavior. We plan to make the hints generic though, so
that other browsers can later start to support them too.


Gecko: N/A; we've requested the position at
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/780 . Note that
there's no interop risk.


WebKit: N/A; we've requested the position at
https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/172 . Note that
there's no interop risk.

Web developers: Positive signals from partners who want to use compile
hints to eager-compile core JS files

Other signals:

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Goals for experimentation

We’re aiming to OT those hints to get a better understanding about

   1.

   The overall performance wins possible
   2.

   DevX and tool support needed to support adding compile hints magic




Ongoing technical constraints

None


Debuggability

None


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

Yes

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

No

The feature doesn't trigger any functional changes and cannot be tested by
WPT.
