Taken from D2768.
This replaces our function wrapper code with pure-template code. They would become neater come C++17 but they already work well.
Supported:
- Any number of argument, so long as they are convertible to/from JSVal (or are themselves JS::Values)
- Any return type, same criteria, including void
- Works with free functions and as object properties -> can use a custom "this" getter, so we can clean up things in a bunch of places (see ComponentManager)
- Optional arguments (aka some arguments are default-constructed no the C++ side)
- Can (optionally) pass the private context data as first argument transparently.
Not supported:
- Functions that have overloads can't be called -> it's ambiguous. Might be solvable too with a fancy wrapper, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
There is no need to specify argument types anymore, however for the moment I'm using the ptr type and the pointer... This is improvable with C++14 since I can use `template<auto FuncPtr>` but for now it's ugly, sadly.
Overall I think the changes mostly speak for themselves.
To check -> am I constructing the same default arguments?
----
Future improvements:
The syntax is rather awkward currently, as I must pass the pointer type and the pointer as template parameters.
If we were using C++14, I could use a single 'auto callable' argument and get it deduced, which would remove the redundancy.
