SpiderMonkey update

[Ykkrosh]

I updated SpiderMonkey to the latest bleeding-edge version, for improved performance when we start doing more heavy calculations in JavaScript. It ought to work fine, but there's a chance it might introduce some compatibility problems - if you find any then please let me know.

One issue when updating SVN is that you might get errors running update-workspaces.sh, because of a Makefile looking for files that were deleted. If you get that, try running clean-workspaces.sh (in build/workspaces/) which should delete the outdated build files and let you start again cleanly.

How can i run a .sh extension?

I get errors when I try to start up the game after building.

" Cant find 'entry' of procedure JS_RemoveRoot in DLL-file mozjs-ps-release.dll . ( my own translation ( error was in dutch))

It seems you're on Windows? And using the pre-built .exe? While Philip is the one who'd know I'm pretty sure this change requires the .exe to be re-built, which is now done, so it should just be to update SVN and the error should be gone

[plumo]

Resolved. Thanks.

Do you know of any decent benchmarks comparing SpiderMonkey to any other languages? I could only really find comparisons to other versions of JS.

[Ykkrosh]

No, except the shootout ones which usually seem pretty broken because they're not using comparably optimised algorithms for everything. The results vary hugely depending on exactly what benchmark you run - it's probably hard to be more specific than saying SM is several times faster (maybe 10x or so) than interpreters for other scripting languages (Perl, CPython, etc) and a bit slower than LuaJIT (which has a much simpler language to compile) and a bit more slower than Java/C#/C++/etc.

Hey Ykkrosh, i'm not sure that my problem is connected with your spidermonkey update but I got this error on update-workspaces.sh. I'm sorry If i made my post in a wrong thread.

My os is archlinux, i've installed all dependencies(I guess).

It's ok now, guys! I just needed to fix one line in imacro_asm.py. In python3 print function needs brackets. Thats all.

[Ykkrosh]

Ah, glad you fixed it, since I wasn't having any ideas of what to do about it . Could you perhaps post your changes (via "svn diff" or something)? If so, I could send it to the SpiderMonkey developers to get Python 3 supported there.

[gavlig]

I'd love to post my changes of that file but as it's said here, I need an account which you or Eric Johansson can give me.

[Ykkrosh]

I just mean posting the changes here on the forums, so I know what lines you had to fix. The SVN account is only needed for committing to the main repository, which I don't think we want to do now (it's better to get it fixed upstream instead).

[gavlig]

Didn't know that, sorry I don't really think that I need to commit anything to the main repository either, so it's cool. Fixed file is in attaches, fixed line is 459, just brackets. I had to change the name of file because of forum limitations on file extension. Original filename is imacro_asm.py

imacro_asm.txt
