Author: amitman...@google.com
Date: Wed Jul 22 18:24:34 2009
Log: Temporary commit, which comments out 3 assertions I believe are flaky,  
to find
out how long tests take in batching mode. Will continue to investigate these
commented out assertions.

Would "always on" mean that it generates code even for browsers that have
native stack traces (i.e. FF)?

Generally, as much as I hate to say it, it seems we'd want variations of the
tests both with and without stack trace code, so that we don't inadvertently
break one mode or the other. It is much like "-draftCompile" in this
respect.

I say we assume we're going to do the second pass (where JUnitShell
deobfuscates) and do the cheaper thing.

[gwt-contrib] Force emulated stack traces when running JUnit tests?

[BobV]

Should running a web-mode test case always turn on the emulated stack
trace code?

You would get stack traces entries like:
Unknown.bx(YourClass.java:1234) regardless of which browser you're on
and the type of exception, Java-derived or native.  The cost is code
bloat: 64k versus 108k for the CoreSuite test to have both file names
and line numbers.  Just line numbers costs 96k and the stack alone is
80k.

The latter two cases would be more useful if JUnitShell retained the
symbol maps and deobfuscated the stack trace for you, but that's an
orthogonal pass.

Don't forget to change these to configuration properties, if it looks
good to you.  As further motivation, if they were config properties,
then an individual GWTTestCase could turn on the extra recording just
for itself.

[gwt-contrib] Re: Generators and hosted mode refresh

[Alen Vrecko]

Gin is doing

Constructor constructor =
moduleClassName.getDeclaredConstructor();
  try {
constructor.setAccessible(true);
return new GinModuleAdapter(constructor.newInstance());
  } finally {
constructor.setAccessible(false);
  }

If I understand what you are saying is something along the lines of

moduleClassName = context.getSpecialClassLoader().loadClass(...);

but the new GinModuleAdapter would blow up. Since GinModuleAdapter is
loaded by SystemCL and is expecting GinModule also loaded from SCL but
it would get an instance of GinModule from SpecialCL. What am I
missing?

Ready for another look.  Major changes:
   - No special handling for throw statements.
   - Force all try/finally to be try/catch/finally to ensure that a
caught JavaScriptException would have the correct stack data as well as
code running in the finally block.
   - Locations always record when execution order does not match
visitation order.
   - Add test case that always tests the JsStackEmulator.

[gwt-contrib] fix a buffer overflow in AsyncFragmentLoader

[spoon]

Reviewers: bobv,

Description:
Freelend (fabbott) ran our test suite with assertions enabled, and found
an assertion failure in AsyncFragmentLoader.  Curiously, the code likely
works in a browser, due to arrays not being bounds checked when
compiling to JavaScript, but certainly the code is not behaving as
intended.

This patch adds a test case, fixes the bug, and gets RunAsyncFailureTest
to pass even with assertions enabled.


Please review this at http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/54803

Brian, do you know if Guice allows you to specify a ClassLoader other than
the "active" one?
In principle, I would be okay with GeneratorContext providing a special
"other" ClassLoader to generators that contained only client code; it would
have exactly what TypeOracle does.and just be another way to get the exact
same information.

I just think we need to separate the machine from the materials. :)

Oh, right, the pop for a return has to be placed in the enclosing
finally, and it must only do a pop if there is an early exit.  Tricky
tricky!  That means that final block tracking is necessary, and also
that the early-exit variables are necessary.  Bummer.

I see what is up with this, now.  The comment explains why it's a map.
It would be worth commenting what is in the map: the JsName for each
generated "earlyExit" variable.  Whenever a return happens within a
try-finally statement, the return sets earlyExit to true rather than
immediately popping the emulated stack.

[gwt-contrib] Re: Generators and hosted mode refresh

[Alen Vrecko]

Hey guys.

Imho having Generators in the "CCL club" is icing on the cake...very
cool but not really essential.

I can confirm using JavaRebel solves both problems (generator code
change, and gin module changes, @Inject added etc). For the time being
I think this is a reasonable compromise for people who want to change
gin code in hosted mode.

afaik you don't need to supply source code of the generator. Should we
want them fully in the CCL club this would break backwards
compatibility.

As Class loading goes. How about: Load generator and all its libraries
from SystemCL to a GeneratorClassLoader and load all gwt client code
from CCL into GeneratorClassLoader to. Like a hybrid space of SystemCL
and CCL.

I see 2 problems with this. Passing the TreeLogger and Context isn't
compatible since one is from GeneratorCL the other from SystemCL (with
some very heavy lifting this can be worked around). Afraid that super
source code from CCL would be picked up before the same stuff from
SystemCL(I don't see any way to get this info).

Other ways might require more comprehensive changes to gwt codebase.

imho this is starting to sound like one of those things that are more
trouble than they are worth.

Cheers
Alen

[gwt-contrib] Re: GWT emulation of HTML5/CSS3 features

[dflorey]

I think it is helpful if we distinguish between optional and mandatory
features.
If GWT would come with a set of widgets or library components that
behave slightly different on different browsers this might not be bad
in general. I'm aware that the general approach of GWT is to write
software once and run it almost everywhere with identical results.
But I can imagine several areas where it may be appropriate to have
e.g. widgets that look even better when the rendering engine supports
3d animations etc. If the developer can use the widget as is and will
get a "default" behavior on all browsers and an extended behavior on
top on some of them, this would be beneficial IMO.
Think of a TabPanel widget that takes advantage of the new funky 3D
animation and transition feature on WebKit and provides a working
default implementation for browsers not supporting CSS3 looking a
little bit more boring.
When it comes to libraries like Database storage it would be helpful
to have a dummy implementation that will do nothing in case when no
persistence is available and to provide some "isAvailable()" method
for each additional feature.

[gwt-contrib] Re: RR : Emulate JS stack traces (phase 1)

[bobv]

I don't think getting this thing wrapped up will take too much more
work.


http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5
File dev/core/src/com/google/gwt/dev/js/JsStackEmulator.java (right):

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode132
Line 132: // $stack[$stackDepth = stackIndex] = currentFunction
The assignment into $stack is from an earlier version of the code.  It
should be unnecessary.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode184
Line 184: * the stack depth.
I think that popping in a finally block is necessary only when you have
a return statement in there.  Maybe the "exitingEarly" variable should
be called "exitBlockExitsFunctionNormally".  The amended pattern is that
a pop is necessary anywhere normal flow control might exit the function.

function foo() {
try {
   if (maybe) {
 return;
   }
} finally {
   // maybe function exits and pops here
}

otherCodePossiblyExecuted();
// definitely pop here
}


I agree that there is no real reason to have special handling for throw
statements since the code has to handle native exceptions anyway.  Both
catch and finally blocks should reset their stack depth.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode204
Line 204: * arbitrary point.
"exception" -> "unconditional flow control change"

"arbitrary" -> "within the associated try block"

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode360
Line 360: earlyExitNames.remove(exitBlock);
It should; this has no cleanup effect as written

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode400
Line 400: // Don't need a pop after a throw or break statement
This is an optimization and I am taking advantage of the looser JS
syntax.

This could be made better with a visitor that will find all reachable
code and then treating the implicit "return undefined" at the end of the
block as just another normal exit path.

[gwt-contrib] Re: Problems after upgrading to trunk

[Scott Blum]

I'm suggesting that ant clean and recompiling trunk from scratch might fix
this.  Also, make sure you svn up your tools directory, just in case.

[gwt-contrib] Re: RR : Emulate JS stack traces (phase 1)

[spoon]

This patch took me hours to absorb.  It sounds simple to modify the
compiler to emulate stacks, but understanding precisely where the stack
updates need to happen is difficult!

The implementation is very clean.  There are just two nits in the
comments.

The line number recording looks like it should have a couple of
exceptions where it includes a line-number updating statement just to be
safe.

Most significantly, it looks to me like one thing is missing from the
finally block handling, and a great deal of the try-finally handling in
there could safely be omitted.  Please check out the comments on this
and see if you agree.



http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5
File dev/core/src/com/google/gwt/dev/js/JsStackEmulator.java (right):

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode132
Line 132: // $stack[$stackDepth = stackIndex] = currentFunction
This is safe, but why is it necessary?  I would have thought that
$stackDepth = stackIndex is enough.  Shouldn't $stack[stackIndex] be the
same until this function decrements stackIndex and returns?

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode174
Line 174: *   exitingEarly && $stackDepeth = stackIndex - 1;
There is no way to know for sure!  It could depend on whether the try
block throws an exception or simply fell off its end.  Further, the
throw might not be apparent in the code; it could have been thrown by
some other function that the try block calls.

Maybe this pop code is not needed.  See my next comment.
Is it even necessary to bother?  See my next comment.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode184
Line 184: * the stack depth.
This is a clever approach, and would seem to mean that it's not
necessary at the *throw* site to update the emulated stack.  Instead, it
gets updated as soon as user code (as opposed to JSVM code or browser
API code) starts running again.

The only places user code can restart after an exception are catch
blocks and finally blocks.  Here you describe updating catch blocks.
Wouldn't finally blocks need the same treatment?

Going on from there, since catch and finally blocks reset the stack at
their entry, is it necessary any longer to bother popping in finally
blocks?  That looks like a vestige from an earlier approach where
exception throws did cause immediate stack updates.  The newer approach
appears to be that pushes happen at function entry, pops happen at
function exit, and just-in-case stack resets happen at the top of
finally and catch blocks.

As an added bonus, the code should be simpler, because exitBlock and
earlyExitName variables are no longer needed.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode204
Line 204: * arbitrary point.
It's not an "arbitrary" point.  If I understand correctly, it is if an
exception occurs at the currently visited location?  This variable then
gets updated by visit() methods so that it stays accurate.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode360
Line 360: earlyExitNames.remove(exitBlock);
This statement looks strange.  Is it supposed to happen before the
previous one?

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode400
Line 400: // Don't need a pop after a throw or break statement
There are other cases where a function might not fall off the end.  For
example, there might be an if statement, and both branches might end
with a return or a throw.

I think an extra pop would be fine, because JavaScript is looser than
Java about unreachable code.  However, it is worth at least commenting
that the point here is not to catch all cases, but to remove the excess
pops in the most common cases.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode604
Line 604: private String baseName(String x) {
The convention seems to be that "x" is an AST node.  This variable holds
a "fileName" or the like.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode620
Line 620: // Same location; ignore
This can give wrong line numbers for looping statements, because the
visitor order is a subset of the possible control-flow paths.  Here's an
example:

for (int i = 0; i < someFunction(); i++) {
   doStuff(i);
}

Suppose someFunction() throws an exception on its *second* invocation
but not its first:  The line numbers are then incorrect.  To correct
this, a simple way would be to add paranoid extra line-number updaters
for for loops and while statements.

http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/47816/diff/1/5#newcode663
Line 663: private boolean recordLineNumbers =
Boolean.getBoolean("gwt.dev.stack.recordLineNumbers");
There is now a module CompilerParameters.gwt.xml that has misc. compiler
settings that most users won't touch.  While it's not a big deal, it
seems helpful to keep things to the smallest scope that makes sense.
Module scope is smaller than property scope.

[gwt-contrib] Re: GWT emulation of HTML5/CSS3 features

[Arthur Kalmenson]

This would definitely be a killer feature.

A common API for something like Web Workers and App Cache (maybe
wrapper for http://code.google.com/p/webstorageportabilitylayer/) that
can seamlessly switch talk to Gears or native HTML 5 implementation
would be very nice. I think it's a lot easier to convince a company to
install Gears then installing and using a completely new browser, so
at least for enterprise settings some common API would be very useful.

[gwt-contrib] Re: Generators and hosted mode refresh

[Scott Blum]

But there is no CCL when running the compiler.  We never go through the
trouble of constructing a "client" class loader environment for generators
to access, they just run in the system class loader.  Supposing we did build
a client classloader and run the generators there, how would generators then
access stuff outside the client space?  IE, how would the Gin generator
access Guice since it wouldn't be in client space?

 Hi,

 continuing from
 http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/c65457fa4df351c1
 . Sorry for the added garbage could have known better to post it here
 in the first place.

 I see generators as en extension to client code therefore I expect
 them to behave a bit like client code namely refresh recompiles the
 generator and client class code changes are visible to the generator.

 As recompiling the generator feature goes maybe it is a bit like
 fairytale i.e. not really needed. Will just write the unit tests for
 generators in any case before running the hosted mode and not play
 with the generator on the fly with change code shutdown-start hosted
 mode repeat.

 But seeing the latest class files inside generator is needed for
 refresh to work in some cases. Sure you can do much with TypeOracle
 but you can't instantiate the JType. Afaik there is no bridge between
 a JType and Class type.

 What do you think?

 Cheers
 Alen

my guess is that's not finding JDT (or anytinhg else).

that's why I had to put all (latest version of) jars I found in toolls
directory to CLASSPATH.
when doing so, compile goes well for a while, but stop later -for the

@Scott: Hasn't there been a subtle shift in this regard? With GWT 1.5,

I think now that we have enhanced the CCL, for deRPC, to delegate to "grey

Hi Scott,
Gin uses reflection because it reuses the heavy lifting from Guice, which is
not GWT-aware.

Seems like both issues could be resolved if generators were loaded in the
client code ClassLoader. Is there a technical or philosophical problem with
doing so? I can understand it might not be at the top of the priority list
right now, but wanted to know if it would be a bad thing if someone were to
propose a patch.

Generally speaking, you do not want to use reflection inside a generator to
try to view the client code.  That's what TypeOracle is for, that's the
supported way of viewing client code.
As for the separate issue of modifying and recompiling a generator itself
while running, you're right in that we don't explicitly support it.  Using
unit tests during generator development as you suggest sounds like a good
strategy to me.  In some cases, you might also get your IDE to do a
hot-replace if you modify the code while debugging, but this can be flaky.

[gwt-contrib] Generators and hosted mode refresh

[Alen Vrecko]

Hi,

continuing from 
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/c65457fa4df351c1
. Sorry for the added garbage could have known better to post it here
in the first place.

I see generators as en extension to client code therefore I expect
them to behave a bit like client code namely refresh recompiles the
generator and client class code changes are visible to the generator.

As recompiling the generator feature goes maybe it is a bit like
fairytale i.e. not really needed. Will just write the unit tests for
generators in any case before running the hosted mode and not play
with the generator on the fly with change code shutdown-start hosted
mode repeat.

But seeing the latest class files inside generator is needed for
refresh to work in some cases. Sure you can do much with TypeOracle
but you can't instantiate the JType. Afaik there is no bridge between
a JType and Class type.

What do you think?

Cheers
Alen

[gwt-contrib] Re: Proposal for improving JDO/JPA RPC support

[Sami Jaber]

Hi Dan,

That sounds to be a really good step in the right direction.
This mecanisms seems to cover all the nominal use cases that we would face
regarding the different o/r mapping impl.
I would just make a few remarks :

1) When you call all the setXX() methods when the object is sent back to the
server, the o/r mapper will assume that those fields have been modified and
the dirty state tracking (which is activated before the setXX() call if I
well understand) will raise an "update" operation for all the fields. I
think you have to compare bean n-1 field values and bean n field values to
call only the setXX() for the modified values. What about collection ?
Hibernate provides a PersistentSet that ensure the object state tracking,
will you call setXX() for all items of client data ?

2) If you analyze an enhanced entity in the Hibernate land you will see that
it contains many coarse-grained information, like a SessionImplementor (it
depends on the dynamic proxy factory and impl you have used) ->
https://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/proxy/ProxyFactory.html.
Serializing those data in a String based representation could be potentially
harmful in term of bandwith and payload. Why not providing a way to store
this client data info in the HttpSession ?

[gwt-contrib] Problems after upgrading to trunk

[dflorey]

After upgrading to trunk my app stopped working. In hosted mode in
don't get any error msg, but the hosted mode browser stays empty. When
compiling I get this error:
