blockUtility as an object literal inside execute creates 11 objects,
one for the object, and 10 for the function closures. As a separate
object and allocated once, setting its sequencer and thread members,
block functions can share the same util object. Extract blockUtility to
cut down on allocations.
`handleReport` inside `src/engine/execute.js`'s `execute` method needs
to allocate a closure to be able to refer to the higher scoped
variables. `execute` is called frequently that this has a noticable
impact on memory allocation and later collection. Extract handleReport
and add arguments to prevent the allocation.
Testing with implicitly casted `value` and `value.then` is deoptimizing
isPromise, which deoptimizes execute. In this case deoptimizing means
that the JavaScript VM cannot compile the functions into a form that
can be run faster.
The linter is correct that `devObject[func].call(devObject, args)` is unnecessary because it's equivalent to `devObject[func](args)`.
@tmickel probably either meant to allow passing an array of arguments to be applied, or to call the function with the provided argument. Since we probably want to be able to use multi-argument functions, use `apply` and fix the one place that uses `ioQuery` with an argument.
And it starts to get a little less elegant :/
Wondering if this should not be handled better in another part of the
codebase?
We don't want to be duplicating existing code stepping functionality
locally at the end of the promise script really... What do you think?
* Add scratch3_procedures and no-op for defnoreturn
* Add mutation adapter to parse mutations in CREATE/CHANGE events
* Add mutation-to-XML
* Update spec map for Blockly procedure names
* Placeholder for procedure special cases
* Basic stepping to procedures
* Remove extra case
* Validation for changeBlock
* Provide property to Clone to distinguish "original" clones
* Provide method to clone a clone's properties
* Don't report clones in the UI target list
* Add target info to Thread
* Allow hats to skip clones (for green flag)
* Green flag skips clones
* Implement "create clone" and hat
* Pass the runtime to sprites and clones (for start hats)
* Clone disposal; trigger hats after drawable initializes.
* Separate stop threads for target; fix handling of stop button
* Remove extraneous `skipClones` property
* Add global clone limit
* Don't allow a non-clone to delete itself.
* Rename `cloneClone` -> `makeClone`
* Variable updates in runtime.js
* Synchronous drawable initialization (until we put it back to promises)
