Order of operations, when to throw or silently do nothing? #16

Description

@erights
  • Should sliceToImmutable with reversed start and end throw an exception even though slice with the same arguments would not?

  • Should trying to write data in an immutable ArrayBuffer via a TypedArray element set throw, even though trying to write out-of-bounds or to a detached ArrayBuffer does not?

  • Should TypedArray write methods (copyWithin, fill, reverse, set, etc.) throw when their backing ArrayBuffer is immutable but the targeted range is zero-length? If so, how early or late in the algorithm? The methods currently inspect arguments after ValidateTypedArray.

Similarly,

  • How early or late in SetViewValue against an immutable ArrayBuffer should an exception be thrown? It currently inspects arguments before IsViewOutOfBounds.

  • Likewise for abstract operations such as ArrayBufferCopyAndDetach (which currently checks IsSharedArrayBuffer, then newLength, then IsDetachedBuffer).

  • And also for Atomics functions.
