Bug 244196

Summary: String.prototype.includes incorrectly returns false when string is empty and position is past end of string

Description EntryHi 2022-08-22 04:27:04 PDT
function foo(n) {
    return ("aaa").includes("", n)
}
noInline(foo);
for (var m = 0; m < 200; ++m) {
  print(foo(m));
}

With the above script as input to JSC, run JSC with the following parameters:
./jsc test.js --useConcurrentJIT=0 --jitPolicyScale=1

According to ECMAScript Language Specification, when the first parameter of String.prototype.includes is empty, the result should be true regardless of whether the second parameter is greater than length. However, JSC prints false when n exceeds length.

The problem is in StringPrototype.cpp stringIncluesImpl. When positionArg is Int32, it should be clamped. Otherwise, the function findCommon will return notFound and the final result will be false.

On macOS, this prints 4x "true" and 196x "false".

The suggested change sounds OK. There are other ways to fix it as well. Makes sense that JavaScript calls for this behavior, since it's consistent with indexOf.

I am surprised this is not covered by Test262. Maybe this function is too new?

It looks like the startsWith and endsWith implementations may have a similar bug.
