描述
Every dynamic JS function calls can throw an exception, but the current JSObject and JSFunction are non-throws by default.
They can be throws by .throws or .throwing but it's still opt-in.
For example, if an exception is thrown during a JS function call but the call site in Swift side is not throws, the control unwinding wasm call frames without executing function epilogues even if there is do { } catch {} clause in Swift. And also in that case, defer blocks won't be called.
This behavior is quite tricky and unwinding wasm call frames without executing function epilogues can lead to memory and resource leak.
I'm going to introduce an API breaking change to make JSObject / JSFunction calls be throws in the next next release to improve the situation.
This change has a performance tradeoff as throws variants are typically a little bit slower than non-throwing variants. We should measure the amount of the penalty but it shouldn't be a big deal. We can make non throwing calls as an opt-in feature so that those who want best performance can satisfy their needs.
// Before
let foo = JSObject.global.document.getElementById!("foo")
let foo = try JSObject.global.document.throwing.getElementById!("foo")
// After
let foo = try JSObject.global.document.getElementById!("foo")
let foo = JSObject.global.document.nonthrowing.getElementById!("foo")
Let me know here if you have a strong objection 🙏 Thanks.

研究方向
該 issue 將 JSObject 和 JSFunction 列為受影響的 API,但沒有提供檔案或測試進入點。檢查它們的呼叫實作以及現有的 .throws/.throwing 行為,接著衡量效能取捨,並定義針對拋出例外與不拋出例外呼叫的測試,再決定是否進行破壞性 API 變更。
