/**
 * This file provides additional API on top of the default one for making
 * API calls, which come from embedder C++ functions. The functions are being
 * called directly from optimized code, doing all the necessary typechecks
 * in the compiler itself, instead of on the embedder side. Hence the "fast"
 * in the name. Example usage might look like:
 *
 * \code
 *    void FastMethod(int param, bool another_param);
 *
 *    v8::FunctionTemplate::New(isolate, SlowCallback, data,
 *                              signature, length, constructor_behavior
 *                              side_effect_type,
 *                              &v8::CFunction::Make(FastMethod));
 * \endcode
 *
 * By design, fast calls are limited by the following requirements, which
 * the embedder should enforce themselves:
 *   - they should not allocate on the JS heap;
 *   - they should not trigger JS execution.
 * To enforce them, the embedder could use the existing
 * v8::Isolate::DisallowJavascriptExecutionScope and a utility similar to
 * Blink's NoAllocationScope:
 * https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:third_party/blink/renderer/platform/heap/thread_state_scopes.h;l=16
 *
 * Due to these limitations, it's not directly possible to report errors by
 * throwing a JS exception or to otherwise do an allocation. There is an
 * alternative way of creating fast calls that supports falling back to the
 * slow call and then performing the necessary allocation. When one creates
 * the fast method by using CFunction::MakeWithFallbackSupport instead of
 * CFunction::Make, the fast callback gets as last parameter an output variable,
 * through which it can request falling back to the slow call. So one might
 * declare their method like:
 *
 * \code
 *    void FastMethodWithFallback(int param, bool* fallback);
 * \endcode
 *
 * If the callback wants to signal an error condition or to perform an
 * allocation, it must set *fallback to true and do an early return from
 * the fast method. Then V8 checks the value of *fallback and if it's true,
 * falls back to executing the SlowCallback, which is capable of
 * reporting the error (either by throwing a JS exception or logging to the
 * console) or doing the allocation. It's the embedder's responsibility to
 * ensure that the fast callback is idempotent up to the point where error
 * and fallback conditions are checked, because otherwise executing the slow
 * callback might produce visible side-effects twice.
 *
 * An example for custom embedder type support might employ a way to wrap/
 * unwrap various C++ types in JSObject instances, e.g:
 *
 * \code
 *
 *    // Helper method with a check for field count.
 *    template <typename T, int offset>
 *    inline T* GetInternalField(v8::Local<v8::Object> wrapper) {
 *      assert(offset < wrapper->InternalFieldCount());
 *      return reinterpret_cast<T*>(
 *          wrapper->GetAlignedPointerFromInternalField(offset));
 *    }
 *
 *    class CustomEmbedderType {
 *     public:
 *      // Returns the raw C object from a wrapper JS object.
 *      static CustomEmbedderType* Unwrap(v8::Local<v8::Object> wrapper) {
 *        return GetInternalField<CustomEmbedderType,
 *                                kV8EmbedderWrapperObjectIndex>(wrapper);
 *      }
 *      static void FastMethod(v8::ApiObject receiver_obj, int param) {
 *        v8::Object* v8_object = reinterpret_cast<v8::Object*>(&api_object);
 *        CustomEmbedderType* receiver = static_cast<CustomEmbedderType*>(
 *          receiver_obj->GetAlignedPointerFromInternalField(
 *            kV8EmbedderWrapperObjectIndex));
 *
 *        // Type checks are already done by the optimized code.
 *        // Then call some performance-critical method like:
 *        // receiver->Method(param);
 *      }
 *
 *      static void SlowMethod(
 *          const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
 *        v8::Local<v8::Object> instance =
 *          v8::Local<v8::Object>::Cast(info.Holder());
 *        CustomEmbedderType* receiver = Unwrap(instance);
 *        // TODO: Do type checks and extract {param}.
 *        receiver->Method(param);
 *      }
 *    };
 *
 *    // TODO(mslekova): Clean-up these constants
 *    // The constants kV8EmbedderWrapperTypeIndex and
 *    // kV8EmbedderWrapperObjectIndex describe the offsets for the type info
 *    // struct and the native object, when expressed as internal field indices
 *    // within a JSObject. The existance of this helper function assumes that
 *    // all embedder objects have their JSObject-side type info at the same
 *    // offset, but this is not a limitation of the API itself. For a detailed
 *    // use case, see the third example.
 *    static constexpr int kV8EmbedderWrapperTypeIndex = 0;
 *    static constexpr int kV8EmbedderWrapperObjectIndex = 1;
 *
 *    // The following setup function can be templatized based on
 *    // the {embedder_object} argument.
 *    void SetupCustomEmbedderObject(v8::Isolate* isolate,
 *                                   v8::Local<v8::Context> context,
 *                                   CustomEmbedderType* embedder_object) {
 *      isolate->set_embedder_wrapper_type_index(
 *        kV8EmbedderWrapperTypeIndex);
 *      isolate->set_embedder_wrapper_object_index(
 *        kV8EmbedderWrapperObjectIndex);
 *
 *      v8::CFunction c_func =
 *        MakeV8CFunction(CustomEmbedderType::FastMethod);
 *
 *      Local<v8::FunctionTemplate> method_template =
 *        v8::FunctionTemplate::New(
 *          isolate, CustomEmbedderType::SlowMethod, v8::Local<v8::Value>(),
 *          v8::Local<v8::Signature>(), 1, v8::ConstructorBehavior::kAllow,
 *          v8::SideEffectType::kHasSideEffect, &c_func);
 *
 *      v8::Local<v8::ObjectTemplate> object_template =
 *        v8::ObjectTemplate::New(isolate);
 *      object_template->SetInternalFieldCount(
 *        kV8EmbedderWrapperObjectIndex + 1);
 *      object_template->Set(isolate, "method", method_template);
 *
 *      // Instantiate the wrapper JS object.
 *      v8::Local<v8::Object> object =
 *          object_template->NewInstance(context).ToLocalChecked();
 *      object->SetAlignedPointerInInternalField(
 *        kV8EmbedderWrapperObjectIndex,
 *        reinterpret_cast<void*>(embedder_object));
 *
 *      // TODO: Expose {object} where it's necessary.
 *    }
 * \endcode
 *
 * For instance if {object} is exposed via a global "obj" variable,
 * one could write in JS:
 *   function hot_func() {
 *     obj.method(42);
 *   }
 * and once {hot_func} gets optimized, CustomEmbedderType::FastMethod
 * will be called instead of the slow version, with the following arguments:
 *   receiver := the {embedder_object} from above
 *   param := 42
 *
 * Currently only void return types are supported.
 * Currently supported argument types:
 *  - pointer to an embedder type
 *  - bool
 *  - int32_t
 *  - uint32_t
 *  - int64_t
 *  - uint64_t
 *  - float32_t
 *  - float64_t
 *
 * The 64-bit integer types currently have the IDL (unsigned) long long
 * semantics: https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#abstract-opdef-converttoint
 * In the future we'll extend the API to also provide conversions from/to
 * BigInt to preserve full precision.
 * The floating point types currently have the IDL (unrestricted) semantics,
 * which is the only one used by WebGL. We plan to add support also for
 * restricted floats/doubles, similarly to the BigInt conversion policies.
 * We also differ from the specific NaN bit pattern that WebIDL prescribes
 * (https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#es-unrestricted-float) in that Blink
 * passes NaN values as-is, i.e. doesn't normalize them.
 *
 * To be supported types:
 *  - arrays of C types
 *  - arrays of embedder types
