Prior to this change, the exponentiation operator was rewritten by the
parser to a call of the Math.pow builtin. However, Math.pow does not
accept BigInt arguments, while the exponentiation operator must accept
them.
This CL
- removes the parser's special treatment of ** and **=, treating them
like any other binary op instead.
- adds a TFC builtin Exponentiate that does the right thing for
all inputs.
- adds interpreter bytecodes Exp and ExpSmi whose handlers call the
Exponentiate builtin. For simplicity, they currently always collect
kAny feedback.
- adds a Turbofan operator JSExponentiate with a typed-lowering to
the existing NumberPow and a generic-lowering to the Exponentiate
builtin. There is currently no speculative lowering.
Note that exponentiation for BigInts is actually not implemented yet,
so we can't yet test it.
