fast code generator is optimized for compilation time and code size.
Currently it is only implemented on IA32. It is potentially triggered
for any code in the global scope (including code eval'd in the global
scope). It performs a syntactic check and chooses to compile in fast
mode if the AST contains only supported constructs and matches some
other constraints.
Initially supported constructs are
* ExpressionStatement,
* ReturnStatement,
* VariableProxy (variable references) to parameters and
stack-allocated locals,
* Assignment with lhs a parameter or stack-allocated local, and
* Literal
This allows compilation of literals at the top level and not much
else.
All intermediate values are allocated to temporaries and the stack is
used for all temporaries. The extra memory traffic is a known issue.
The code generated for 'true' is:
0 push ebp
1 mov ebp,esp
3 push esi
4 push edi
5 push 0xf5cca135 ;; object: 0xf5cca135 <undefined>
10 cmp esp,[0x8277efc]
16 jnc 27 (0xf5cbbb1b)
22 call 0xf5cac960 ;; code: STUB, StackCheck, minor: 0
27 push 0xf5cca161 ;; object: 0xf5cca161 <true>
32 mov eax,[esp]
35 mov [ebp+0xf4],eax
38 pop eax
39 mov eax,[ebp+0xf4]
42 mov esp,ebp ;; js return
44 pop ebp
45 ret 0x4
48 mov eax,0xf5cca135 ;; object: 0xf5cca135 <undefined>
53 mov esp,ebp ;; js return
55 pop ebp
56 ret 0x4

The profile is taken together with constructors profile. In theory, it
should represent a complete heap graph. However, this takes a lot of memory,
so it is reduced to a more compact, but still useful form. Namely:
- objects are aggregated by their constructors, except for Array and Object
instances, that are too hetereogeneous;
- for Arrays and Objects, initially every instance is concerned, but then
they are grouped together based on their retainer graph paths similarity (e.g.
if two objects has the same retainer, they are considered equal);

-fstrict-aliasing is enabled by mainline gcc at -O2 and higher, but in Apple
gcc, it must be enabled explicitly. This results in a 1.5% improvement in V8
benchmark scores.
This also removes the -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti settings from v8.gyp for
the Mac, and removes -fno-rtti from v8.gyp for Linux, because these settings
have become part of Chromium's common.gypi, included here, as of r23304 at the
latest. The settings in v8.gyp have become redundant.

system can't currently process stacks produced by gcc -fomit-frame-pointer
properly. The drawback outweighs the 2% performance improvement. Once
the crash reporting system is able to handle this optimization, it should be
revisited.

generated in one-pass from the source AST, code is generated from the
CFG. Enabled by the flag --multipass and disabled by default.
Rudimentary and currently only supports literal expressions and return
statements. There are some other known limitations (e.g., missing
support for tracing).

Change stack alignment on linux to 16 bytes to keep gcc 4.4 happy.
This fixes the mksnapshot segfault without requiring -fno-tree-vectorize
which just avoided the problem by not generating code with movdqa.

The goal of this change is to allow longer profiling sessions and preserve memory when profiler isn't started. The buffer starts with 64K and grows until it reaches the upper limit, which is currently set to 50MB --- according to my evaluations, this is enough for at least 20 minutes of GMail profiling. As we're planning to introduce compression for the profiler log, this time boundary will be significantly increased soon.
To make possible unit testing of the new component, I've factored out Logger's utility classes into a separate source file: log-utils.h/cc. Log and LogMessageBuilder are moved there from log.cc without any semantical changes.

encoding the values in one word and by using an indirection table for
handles.
This reduces compilation time by roughly 10% and we should be able to make the slow case equality checking of frame elements faster as well.

- TARGET, the architecture we will generate code for.
This is brought it from the build system.
- HOST, the architecture our C++ compiler is building for.
This is detected automatically based on compiler defines.
This adds macros for 32 or 64 bit, and cleans up some
include conditionals, etc.

The current version is now held in src/version.cc in a number of defines which needs to be modified when changing version.
The following defines make up the version information:
MAJOR_VERSION
MINOR_VERSION
BUILD_NUMBER
PATCH_LEVEL
CANDIDATE_VERSION
The first four are numbers and the fifth is a boolean. Besides these five the define
SONAME
can be used to set a specific soname when building the a shared library (see below). This will most likely be used on stable branches where binary compatibility is ensured between different versions. This define is a string.
This version information is now read by the SCons build to support setting the soname for a Linux shared library. This requires passing the option soname=on to the SCons build.
When soname=on is specified the soname for the shared library can be set in two different ways. Either it will be the full versioned library name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so) or a specific soname defined in src/version.cc. Whenever a shared library is build with an soname the filename of the library will hold the full version name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so).
I did not update the xcode project with the new files.

Gyp is used to generate project files used to build chromium. Moving
the v8.gyp file to the v8 repository makes it easier to have V8 and
the v8.gyp file synchronized (so a DEPS update in chromium gets the
right v8.gyp file associated with that revision of V8).
