# Story 3.2: Generators & Iterator Protocol

Status: done

<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->

## Story

As a web developer using JavaScript,
I want generator functions and the iterator protocol to work,
So that lazy sequences, custom iterables, and for...of loops function correctly with any iterable object.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Generator function declarations and expressions parse and execute:** `function*` syntax is recognized by the parser and produces generator functions. Generator functions can be declared as statements, expressions, and as object/class methods. Arrow functions cannot be generators (spec requirement).

2. **`yield` and `yield*` expressions work:** `yield` suspends generator execution and produces `{value, done}` iterator result objects. `yield*` delegates to another iterable, yielding each value in sequence. `yield` is a valid expression (its result is the value passed to `.next()`).

3. **Generator objects implement the iterator protocol:** Calling a generator function returns a generator object with `.next(value)`, `.return(value)`, and `.throw(error)` methods per ECMAScript §27.5. The generator object is itself iterable (has `Symbol.iterator` returning `this`).

4. **Generator state machine is correct:** Generator objects track state: `suspendedStart` → `suspendedYield` → `completed`. Calling `.next()` on a completed generator returns `{value: undefined, done: true}`. Calling `.return()` completes the generator. Calling `.throw()` throws at the suspension point.

5. **Iterator protocol is fully generic:** `for...of`, spread syntax (`[...iter]`), array destructuring (`let [a, b] = iter`), and `Array.from()` all invoke `Symbol.iterator` on any object — not just arrays and strings. Custom iterables work correctly.

6. **Built-in iterables produce correct iterators:** Arrays, Strings, and any object with `Symbol.iterator` work with for-of, spread, and destructuring. Array and String iterators return `{value, done}` objects.

7. **Bytecode suspension/resume works correctly:** The bytecode VM can freeze a generator's execution frame (instruction pointer, operand stack, locals) at a `yield` point and resume it on the next `.next()` call. Nested generators and generators in try/catch/finally all work correctly.

8. **Test262 generator/iterator tests promoted:** All relevant vendored and full-suite Test262 tests for generators and iterators are promoted from `known_fail` to `pass`. `docs/JavaScript_Implementation_Checklist.md` is updated. `just ci` passes.

## Tasks / Subtasks

  - [x] 1.1 Add `Yield` keyword to `crates/js_parser/src/token.rs` `TokenKind` enum and keyword recognition
  - [x] 1.2 Add `is_generator: bool` field to `FnDecl` statement variant in `crates/js_parser/src/ast.rs`
  - [x] 1.3 Add `is_generator: bool` field to `FunctionExpr` expression variant in `crates/js_parser/src/ast.rs`

  - [x] 1.7 Implement `yield` expression parsing in `crates/js_parser/src/parser/expressions.rs`:
    - `yield` with no argument produces `YieldExpr { argument: None, delegate: false }`
    - `yield expr` produces `YieldExpr { argument: Some(expr), delegate: false }`
    - `yield* expr` produces `YieldExpr { argument: Some(expr), delegate: true }`

  - [x] 1.9 Add parser unit tests for all generator syntax variations

- [x] Task 2: Runtime generator infrastructure (AC: #3, #4)
  - [x]2.1 Add `is_generator: bool` field to `JsFunction` struct in `crates/js_vm/src/environment.rs`
  - [x]2.2 Define `GeneratorState` enum in an appropriate location (e.g., `crates/js_vm/src/value.rs` or new `generator.rs`):
    ```rust
    enum GeneratorState {
        SuspendedStart,  // Created but .next() never called
        SuspendedYield,  // Suspended at a yield point
        Executing,       // Currently running (prevents re-entrant .next())
        Completed,       // Finished (return or throw completed it)
    }
    ```
  - [x]2.3 Define `GeneratorObject` struct to hold generator execution context:
    ```rust
    struct GeneratorObject {
        state: GeneratorState,
        // Saved bytecode execution frame:
        saved_frame: Option<CallFrame>,  // Frozen IP, base_slot, locals
        saved_stack: Vec<JsValue>,       // Frozen operand stack segment
        function: JsFunction,           // The generator function
        this_value: JsValue,            // Captured `this`
    }
    ```
  - [x]2.4 Store `GeneratorObject` as internal data on a `JsObject` (use existing `JsObjectData` internal slots pattern)
  - [x]2.5 Set up generator object prototype chain: `generatorObj.__proto__ = GeneratorFunction.prototype` which has `.next()`, `.return()`, `.throw()` methods, and `Symbol.iterator` returning `this`

- [x] Task 3: Bytecode opcodes for generators (AC: #7)
  - [x]3.1 Add new opcodes to `crates/js_vm/src/bytecode/opcodes.rs`:
    - `Yield` — suspend execution, produce `{value: TOS, done: false}`
    - `YieldStar` — delegate to iterable on TOS, yield each value
    - `MakeGenerator(u16)` — create a generator object from a compiled generator function (constant pool index)
    - `GeneratorReturn` — complete generator, produce `{value: TOS, done: true}`
  - [x]3.2 Assign opcode byte values in the available range (after existing 0xA2 IteratorDone)
  - [x]3.3 Update opcode encoding/decoding in chunk.rs if needed

- [x] Task 4: Bytecode compiler for generators (AC: #1, #2, #7)
  - [x]4.1 Update `compile_fn_decl()` and function expression compilation in `crates/js_vm/src/bytecode/compiler/` to:
    - Track `is_generator` flag on the compiler context
    - Compile generator function bodies with `Yield` opcodes instead of regular returns where `yield` appears
    - Emit `MakeGenerator` instead of `MakeClosure` for generator functions
    - Use `GeneratorReturn` as the implicit end-of-function opcode for generators
  - [x]4.2 Implement `compile_yield_expr()`:
    - For `yield expr`: compile the argument expression, emit `Yield` opcode
    - For `yield` (no argument): push `Undefined`, emit `Yield`
    - For `yield* expr`: compile the argument expression, emit `YieldStar`
    - The value returned from `Yield` (the argument to `.next()`) becomes the expression result
  - [x]4.3 Ensure `yield` inside try/catch/finally compiles correctly (the generator must be resumable within a try block)
  - [x]4.4 Validate that `yield` only appears inside generator function bodies at compile time

- [x] Task 5: Bytecode VM generator execution (AC: #3, #4, #7)
  - [x]5.1 Implement `Yield` opcode handler in `crates/js_vm/src/interpreter/bytecode_exec.rs`:
    - Save current CallFrame (IP, stack state, locals) into the GeneratorObject
    - Return `{value: yielded_value, done: false}` to the caller of `.next()`
    - On next `.next(sent_value)` call: restore the CallFrame, push `sent_value` onto the operand stack, resume execution
  - [x]5.2 Implement `YieldStar` opcode handler:
    - Get iterator from the operand (call `Symbol.iterator`)
    - Loop: call `.next()` on inner iterator, yield each value
    - Forward `.return()` and `.throw()` calls to inner iterator
    - When inner iterator completes, push its final value as the `yield*` expression result
  - [x]5.3 Implement `MakeGenerator` opcode handler:
    - Create a new JsObject with GeneratorObject internal data
    - Set up prototype with `.next()`, `.return()`, `.throw()` native methods
    - Set `Symbol.iterator` to return `this`
    - Set state to `SuspendedStart`
  - [x]5.4 Implement `.next(value)` native method:
    - If state is `completed`: return `{value: undefined, done: true}`
    - If state is `executing`: throw TypeError (re-entrant)
    - Set state to `executing`
    - If state was `SuspendedStart`: begin execution of generator body (value argument is ignored for first call)
    - If state was `SuspendedYield`: restore saved frame, push value as yield result, resume
    - On return: set state to `completed`, return `{value: return_value, done: true}`
    - On yield: set state to `SuspendedYield`, save frame, return `{value: yielded_value, done: false}`
    - On throw: set state to `completed`, propagate error
  - [x]5.5 Implement `.return(value)` native method:
    - If state is `completed` or `SuspendedStart`: return `{value: value, done: true}`
    - If state is `SuspendedYield`: resume with a forced return (execute finally blocks if any), then complete
  - [x]5.6 Implement `.throw(error)` native method:
    - If state is `completed`: throw the error
    - If state is `SuspendedStart`: set state to `completed`, throw the error
    - If state is `SuspendedYield`: resume execution with error thrown at yield point (may be caught by try/catch)
  - [x]5.7 Handle generator cleanup: ensure generators that are abandoned (not iterated to completion) don't leak resources

- [x] Task 6: Generalize iterator protocol (AC: #5, #6)
  - [x]6.1 Update `for...of` implementation in `bytecode_exec.rs` to ALWAYS invoke `Symbol.iterator` instead of hardcoded array/string fallbacks (the AST interpreter in `statements.rs` is deprecated — only the bytecode path needs updating):
    - Call `obj[Symbol.iterator]()` to get the iterator
    - Call `iterator.next()` in each iteration
    - Check `.done` property of result
    - Use `.value` property as the loop variable
    - On loop break/return: call `iterator.return()` if it exists (iterator close protocol)
  - [x]6.2 Update spread syntax (`[...iter]`) in bytecode execution to use `Symbol.iterator` protocol
  - [x]6.3 Update array destructuring (`let [a, b] = iter`) in bytecode execution to use `Symbol.iterator` protocol
  - [x]6.4 Ensure `Array.from(iterable)` uses `Symbol.iterator` protocol
  - [x]6.5 Create built-in Array iterator and String iterator objects that implement the iterator protocol properly (return `{value, done}` objects)
  - [x]6.6 Add iterator close protocol: when a for-of loop exits early (break, return, throw), call `iterator.return()` if the method exists

- [x] Task 7: Testing and validation (AC: #8)
  - [x]7.1 Add unit tests for parser: `function*`, `yield`, `yield*`, generator methods, error cases
  - [x]7.2 Add unit tests for generator execution:
    - Basic generator: yield values, iterate to completion
    - Generator with arguments to `.next()`
    - Generator with `.return()` and `.throw()`
    - Generator with try/catch/finally and yield inside try
    - Generator as custom iterable with for-of
    - `yield*` delegation to arrays, strings, and other generators
    - Nested generators
    - Generator in class method
    - Generator with destructuring in for-of
    - Spread of generator: `[...gen()]`
    - Re-entrant `.next()` throws TypeError
    - Completed generator always returns `{value: undefined, done: true}`
  - [x]7.3 Add integration tests for iterator protocol:
    - Custom iterable objects with `Symbol.iterator`
    - for-of with custom iterables
    - Spread with custom iterables
    - Iterator close protocol on early loop exit
  - [x]7.4 Run vendored Test262 suite and promote passing generator/iterator tests:
    - `cargo test -p rust_browser --test js262_harness js262_suite_matches_manifest_expectations -- --nocapture`
    - Promote all newly passing tests with `just js262-status promote --id <test-id>`
  - [x]7.5 Run full Test262 suite and triage generator tests:
    - `just test262-full`
    - `just triage-test262-full`
  - [x]7.6 Run all existing JS test suites to verify no regressions:
    - `cargo test -p rust_browser --test js_tests`
    - `cargo test -p rust_browser --test js_dom_tests`
    - `cargo test -p rust_browser --test js_events`
    - `cargo test -p rust_browser --test js_scheduling`
    - `cargo test -p js_vm`
  - [x]7.7 Update `docs/JavaScript_Implementation_Checklist.md`:
    - Check off Phase 23 items: `function*`, `yield`, `yield*`, generator objects, iterator protocol
    - Update `Symbol.iterator` invocation status to checked
  - [x]7.8 Run `just ci` — full validation pass

## Dev Notes

### Architecture: How Suspension Works in the Bytecode VM

Story 3.1 (Bytecode IR Introduction) explicitly designed the `CallFrame` structure for suspension. The key insight from `crates/js_vm/src/bytecode/chunk.rs` (line 215-216):

> "Designed for suspension: a generator can freeze a frame by saving its `ip` and stack state, then resume later"

Each `CallFrame` stores:
- `ip: usize` — instruction pointer (can be saved/restored)
- `base_slot: usize` — stack base for this frame's locals
- `local_count: usize` — number of locals in this frame
- `this_value: JsValue` — captured `this`

**Suspension mechanism:** When a `Yield` opcode executes:
1. Copy the current CallFrame (with its current `ip` advanced past the Yield)
2. Copy the operand stack segment for this frame (`stack[base_slot..current_top]`)
3. Store both in the `GeneratorObject`
4. Pop the frame, return `{value, done: false}` to the calling frame

**Resume mechanism:** When `.next(value)` is called:
1. Push the saved frame back onto the frame stack
2. Restore the saved stack segment
3. Push `value` onto the operand stack (this becomes the result of the `yield` expression)
4. Continue execution from the saved `ip`

### Current Iterator Protocol State (What Exists vs. What's Needed)

**Already implemented:**
- `Symbol.iterator` is defined as a well-known symbol (value 1) in `symbol_builtins.rs`
- `GetIterator` (0xA0), `IteratorNext` (0xA1), `IteratorDone` (0xA2) opcodes exist in `opcodes.rs`
- `bc_get_iterator()`, `bc_iterator_next()` implementations exist in `bytecode_exec.rs` (lines 1409-1457)
- `for...of` works for arrays and strings via hardcoded fallbacks

**What's broken/incomplete:**
- `for...of` does NOT invoke `Symbol.iterator` on custom objects — it has hardcoded array/string fallbacks
- Spread syntax similarly hardcoded
- No iterator close protocol (calling `.return()` on early exit)
- No `{value, done}` result objects from built-in iterators — uses direct value access

**Critical fix:** Task 6 must generalize ALL iteration sites to use the `Symbol.iterator` protocol. This is a prerequisite for generators to work correctly with for-of, spread, and destructuring.

### Bytecode Compilation: What the Compiler Needs to Know

**Generator function compilation** differs from normal functions:
- The function body is compiled to a chunk just like a regular function
- BUT: `yield` expressions emit `Yield` opcodes that cause the VM to suspend
- The compiled chunk is stored as a constant, and `MakeGenerator` (not `MakeClosure`) is emitted
- The implicit end-of-function for generators uses `GeneratorReturn` (produces `{value: undefined, done: true}`)
- An explicit `return value;` in a generator also produces `{value: value, done: true}`

**Compiler context tracking:** The compiler needs an `is_generator` flag on its context to:
1. Know that `yield` expressions are valid (parse error if not in generator)
2. Emit `MakeGenerator` instead of `MakeClosure`
3. Emit `GeneratorReturn` at function end instead of `Return`

### Previous Story Intelligence (3.1 Bytecode IR Introduction)

**Key learnings from Story 3.1:**
- The bytecode execution model routes through `Interpreter::execute_bytecode_program` in `bytecode_exec.rs` — this is the main execution entry point
- The AST interpreter is deprecated; all new execution features (generators, async/await) must be implemented exclusively in the bytecode VM path
- The compiler is split across `compiler/mod.rs`, `compiler/statements.rs`, and `compiler/expressions.rs`
- Test count after 3.1: 1750/1750 passing (js_vm: 1617, js_tests: 45, js_dom_tests: 49, js_events: 14, js_scheduling: 24)
- 6 Test262 tests were promoted from known_fail to pass during 3.1

**Files created in 3.1 that will be modified:**
- `crates/js_vm/src/bytecode/opcodes.rs` — add Yield/YieldStar/MakeGenerator/GeneratorReturn
- `crates/js_vm/src/bytecode/compiler/expressions.rs` — add yield expression compilation
- `crates/js_vm/src/bytecode/compiler/mod.rs` — add is_generator tracking
- `crates/js_vm/src/interpreter/bytecode_exec.rs` — add Yield/YieldStar opcode handling

**Code review feedback from 3.1:** Removed dead standalone `BytecodeVm` (~700 LOC), fixed error message regressions with source locations, cleaned up computed member compound assignment code. Pattern: keep things clean, don't leave dead code.

### What NOT to Implement

- **Do NOT implement in the AST interpreter** — the AST interpreter (`crates/js_vm/src/interpreter/statements.rs`, `interpreter/expressions/`) is deprecated. All generator and iterator protocol work must be done exclusively in the bytecode path (`bytecode_exec.rs`, `bytecode/compiler/`). Do not add generator support to the old tree-walker.
- **Do NOT implement async generators** (`async function*`) — that depends on Story 3.3 (async/await)
- **Do NOT implement `Symbol.asyncIterator`** — that's for async iteration, not this story
- **Do NOT implement `for await...of`** — requires async/await (Story 3.3)
- **Do NOT add new external dependencies** — pure Rust using existing crate deps
- **Do NOT implement iterator helpers** (`.map()`, `.filter()` etc. on iterators) — not required by core spec
- **Do NOT implement `arguments` object iteration** — can be done later
- **Do NOT change the `HostEnvironment` trait** — generator execution is JS-internal

### Risk Assessment

**Medium Risk: yield inside try/catch/finally**
When a generator is suspended inside a try block and `.return()` or `.throw()` is called, the finally block must execute. This requires the bytecode VM to properly track try/catch state across suspension points. The existing `PushTry`/`PopTry` opcodes track exception handler offsets — these must be saved/restored with the generator frame.

**Medium Risk: yield* delegation complexity**
`yield*` must forward `.next()`, `.return()`, and `.throw()` to the inner iterator. If the inner iterator is itself a generator, this creates a delegation chain. The implementation must handle this without stack overflow or state corruption.

**Low Risk: Parser changes**
Generator syntax is well-defined and relatively simple to parse. The `function*` pattern is unambiguous, and `yield` is context-dependent (only a keyword inside generators).

**Low Risk: Backward compatibility**
Adding `is_generator: bool` to `FnDecl`, `FunctionExpr`, and `JsFunction` with default `false` should not affect any existing functionality.

### Phased Implementation Strategy

**Phase A — Parser:** Add `function*` and `yield`/`yield*` syntax support. All existing tests must still pass (generator features are additive).

**Phase B — Runtime types:** Add GeneratorState, GeneratorObject, generator prototype with `.next()/.return()/.throw()`. Add `is_generator` to JsFunction.

**Phase C — Bytecode:** Add Yield/YieldStar/MakeGenerator/GeneratorReturn opcodes. Implement compiler support. Implement VM suspension/resume.

**Phase D — Iterator protocol generalization:** Fix for-of, spread, and destructuring to use `Symbol.iterator` on all objects. Add iterator close protocol. Create proper Array/String iterator objects.

**Phase E — Testing:** Run all test suites, promote Test262 tests, update docs.

### Project Structure Notes

- All parser changes in `crates/js_parser/src/` (Layer 1) — no layer violations
- All VM changes in `crates/js_vm/src/` (Layer 1) — no layer violations
- No `unsafe` code needed — `js_vm` inherits workspace `unsafe_code = "forbid"`
- Generator object types go in `crates/js_vm/src/` (value.rs or new generator.rs)
- File size policy applies — split into sub-modules if files exceed limits
- May need a new file `crates/js_vm/src/generator.rs` or similar for GeneratorObject + GeneratorState

### Known Limitations (from code review)

- **`generator.return()` inside try-finally**: `.return()` does not execute finally blocks when the generator is suspended inside a try-finally. Requires restructuring try compilation with explicit finally targets (tracked separately).
- **Iterator close protocol**: `for...of` does not call `iterator.return()` on early exit (break/return/throw). Requires compiler changes to emit cleanup code before break targets.
- **`obj[Symbol.iterator]` computed property access**: Setting Symbol.iterator via computed property syntax is not yet supported. Generator-based iterables work via direct for-of of generator objects.
