Reland "[torque] Don't generate k(?:Start|End)Of\w+FieldsOffset constants"
This is a reland of 7366f6e2 The test that failed after the initial commit was just flaky and has been fixed; see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=12341 Original change's description: > [torque] Don't generate k(?:Start|End)Of\w+FieldsOffset constants > > Torque currently generates constants like kStartOfWeakFieldsOffset and > kEndOfStrongFieldsOffset, which can be used when writing custom > BodyDescriptors. However, these offsets have some potentially confusing > behaviors: > > * They don't take inheritance into account and describe only the fields > defined by the current class itself, so there might be (for example) > strong fields before kStartOfStrongFieldsOffset if they were defined > by a superclass. > * kStartOfWeakFieldsOffset points to the first field defined in Torque > using the keyword `weak`, which indicates fields with *custom* > weakness semantics (those that should be visited with > IterateCustomWeakPointers), not those that may contain standard weak > pointers (visited with IterateMaybeWeakPointers). (As a follow-up, I'd > like to also rename `weak` to `@customWeak`.) > > Given that these constants have very low usage and somewhat bizarre > semantics, I propose that we remove them. This change does so, and > updates the existing usages to either define the required constants > directly in C++ or not use them. I know that defining these constants in > C++ is more brittle, but I think that brittle and clear is better than > automatic and incomprehensible. > > Bug: v8:7793 > Change-Id: I87f8c85ccae4027f61ac73d4e7e4e2820e92003b > Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3199731 > Reviewed-by: Nico Hartmann <nicohartmann@chromium.org> > Reviewed-by: Toon Verwaest <verwaest@chromium.org> > Commit-Queue: Seth Brenith <seth.brenith@microsoft.com> > Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/main@{#77411} Bug: v8:7793 Change-Id: Iefdd4014ce4b85b48c19ead79a0316774a5ecd45 Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3258082Reviewed-by: Toon Verwaest <verwaest@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Nico Hartmann <nicohartmann@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Michael Lippautz <mlippautz@chromium.org> Commit-Queue: Seth Brenith <seth.brenith@microsoft.com> Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/main@{#77688}
