During parsing functions are analyzed for statements of the form this.x = ...;. These assignments are categorized in two types: simple and non simple. The simple ones are where the right hand side is known to be either a constant or an argument to the function. If a function only contains statements of this type the property names are collected and for the simple assignments the index of the argument or the constant value assigned are stored as well.
When the initial map for a function is created and the function consists of only this type of assignemnts the initial map is created with a descriptor array describing these properties which will be known to always exist in an object created from the function.
The information on this property assignments is not collected during pre-parsing so if compiling using pre-parse data these optimization hints are not available.
Next step will be to use the information collected for the simple assignments to generate constructor code which will create and initialize the object from this information without calling the code for the function.

This issue was raised by Brett Wilson while reviewing my changelist for readability. Craig Silverstein (one of C++ SG maintainers) confirmed that we should declare one namespace per line. Our way of namespaces closing seems not violating style guides (there is no clear agreement on it), so I left it intact.

Currently function name inference is wired with AST optimization pass to avoid introducing another pass over AST. A better solution would be to rewrite AST visitors so they can be naturally combined together in a single pass, as their current implementation doesn't allow it.
For examples of cases where function names can be inferred, see the tests file.

Choice nodes may know that they are never not at the start of input.
This can remove start_of_input assertions in cases where they are statically known to fail.
The initial loop is unrolled once if the regexp might check for the start of input. Only the first iteration may be at the start, the following loop knows that it isn't.

Allows backtracking to clear registers instead of pushing and popping
them to restore state.
Redo of 1135 with bug fixed.

Reduces number of pushes when flushing a trace. Some are converted to clears
in the undo-code instead, and some just ignored if they have no value worth restoring.

instead of normal JSObjects.
This ensures that __proto__ and accessors on the Object prototype do
not interfere with catch scopes. Also, it fixes the bug that catch
variables were not DontDelete (issue 74).
Next step is to create special lookup routines for context extension
objects and remove the special handling of context extension objects
from the general javascript object lookup routines.

* Facility for generating a node several ways. This allows
code to be generated for a node knowing where it is trying
to match relative to the 'current position' and it allows
code to be generated that knows where to backtrack to. Both
allow dramatic reductions in the amount of popping and pushing
on the stack and the number of indirect jumps.
* Generate special backtracking for greedy quantifiers on
constant-length atoms. This allows .* to run in constant
space relative to input string size.
* When we are checking a long sequence of characters or character
classes in the input then we do them right to left and only the
first (rightmost) needs to check for end-of-string.
* Record the pattern in the profile instead of just <CompiledRegExp>
* Nodes no longer contain an on_failure_ node. This was only used
for lookaheads and they are now handled with a choice node instead.

upper case. Moved it into the RelocInfo class together with the associated
is_xxx functions. Renamed is_xxx to IsXxx in the process.
Removed the exit_js_frame mode as it was no longer used.
Patch Set 2 renames RELOC_MODE_COUNT to NUMBER_OF_MODES and fixes a couple of lint errors.

In the shell sample don't print the result of executing a script, only
evaluating expressions.
Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8
library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the
generated library 18% smaller.
Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build and
generate seperate objects, libraries and executables for each mode.
Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since this
visibly changes operand conversion order.
Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in preparsing.
Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out with stack overflow.

Added propagation of stack overflow exceptions that occur while compiling nested functions.
Improved debugger with support for recursive break points and handling of exceptions that occur in the debugger JavaScript code.
Renamed GetInternal to GetInternalField and SetInternal to SetInternalField in the API and moved InternalFieldCount and SetInternalFieldCount from FunctionTemplate to ObjectTemplate.
