Summary [WTF] Introduce Private Symbols
Yusuke Suzuki
Reported 2017-07-28 03:07:27 PDT
Upcoming proposal of class fields[1] requires private fields. The easiest way to implement it is adding a property with specially marked symbols. Currently, we have private symbols, which is used for internal use cases, and managed in the hash table. But this proposal will encourage users to create such private symbols more and more. So, I think introducing notion of Private and Internal into WTF SymbolImpl is simpler. We do not need to look up value from private symbol hash table no longer. SymbolImpl knows that it is a private/internal/public symbol. [1]: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields
