context. Test contexts are used for the left subexpressions of
short-circuited boolean operators. The right subexpressions inherit
their expression context from the binary op expression.
Compilation of short-circuited operations in effect and test context
is straightforward:
effect(e0 || e1) =
test(e0, L0, L1)
L1: effect(e1)
L0:
test(e0 || e1, L0, L1) =
test(e0, L0, L2)
L2: test(e1, L0, L1)
Because the value of the first subexpression may be needed as the
value of the whole expression in a value context, we introduce a
hybrid value/test contest (the value is needed if true, but not if
false).
value(e0 || e1) =
value/test(e0, L0, L1)
L1: value(e1)
L0:
The compilation of value/test and test/value (introduced by boolean
AND) is:
value/test(e0 || e1, L0, L1) =
value/test(e0, L0, L2)
L2: value/test(e1, L0, L1)
test/value(e0 || e1, L0, L1) =
test(e0, L0, L2)
L2: test/value(e1, L0, L1)
Boolean AND is the dual. The AST nodes themselves (not their parents)
are responsible for producing the proper result (effect, value, or
control flow) depending on their context.

other changes:
- Fix missing relocation info for StoreIC on global object.
- Generate only one common return sequence instead of always appending
"return <undefined>" at the end of each function: The first JS
return-statement will generate the common return sequence. All

Changed the object literal initialization on ARM to use a Store IC in

location to an Expression AST node from the node's parent to the node
itself.
This allows an inherited code generation context from a parent node to
be passed arbitrarily far down the tree (eg, the subexpression of a
unary not is in the same context as the unary expression itself, the
then and else subexpressions of the ternary operator are in the same
context as the whole expression, and so forth).
We do not yet take advantage of this in the backend (eg, the right
subexpression of short-circuited OR is still compiled by using the
parent's destination location, rather than the subexpression's
itself).

Literals now have a location of temporary by default and are
responsible for moving themselves into their location like all other
expressions.
The constant location turned out not to allow us to avoid checking
subexpressions in AST interior nodes, and it turned out to require
checking after some normal calls to Visit (like for the arguments to a
call). With this change do not have to check after a call to Visit
that we got our result in the expected location.

I also added more unit tests for literals.
Right now, the fast compiler produces code very similar to
the existing code generator. We may consider different ways to
further compact the generated code for top-level code.
ARM always goes through a runtime function to initialize computed
properties in an object literal whereas IA32 and x64 use StoreIC.

in a non-test (ie, value or effect) context. (It is implicitly not in
a test context because the code generator does not support expressions
in a test context yet.)
Compilation is essentially the same as in the optimized code
generator. The expression (e0 || e1) is compiled as if it were
(let (temp = e0) temp ? temp : e1).
On ia32 and x64 a single shared ToBoolean stub is used to convert a
value to a flag. The inlined checks assumed by the stub are reordered
to compare to undefined (the common case in toplevel code?) first. On
ARM a call to the runtime is used. In the interest of code size no
checks are yet inlined on ARM.

currently compiled the same as with the optimizing compiler: they are
cloned from a boilerplate object and the boilerplate objects are
lazily constructed.
Also changed argument pushing on ARM to use stm (store multiple),
which required changing the order of arguments to the runtime
functions DeclareGlobals and NewClosure. They were only used from
generated code.
Finally, changed the toplevel code generator so that stack pops to
discard a temporary became addition to the stack pointer on ia32 and
x64.

For .result = /abc.*/g we generate the following IA-32 code:

call RuntimeStub_MaterializeRegExpLiteral
done:

This is very similar to the code previously generated except we do not
generate deferred code for the case where we call the runtime.
On ARM we use the stm instruction to make pushing the arguments more compact.

constant known at compile time. Do not ever use the stack to
materialize (non-function-argument) constants. Currently, constants
are only the non-materialized, non-function literals in the AST.
It is a known issue that there is no test coverage for the cases of
assigning a non-literal to a variable and returning a literal. Those
code paths are unreachable and tests will be added when they become
reachable.
For the code '.result = true', we had previously on ia32:
27 push 0xf5c28161 ;; object: 0xf5c28161 <true>
32 pop [ebp+0xf4]

It was already eliminated by the ARM assembler's push/pop elimination.

AST expression nodes are annotated with a location when doing the
initial syntactic check of the AST. In the current implementation,
expression locations are 'temporary' (ie, allocated to the stack) or
'nowhere' (ie, the expression's value is not needed though it must be
evaluated for side effects).

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

For objects which only have simple assignments of the form this.x = ...; a specialized constructor stub is now generated. This generated code allocates the object and fills in the initial properties directly. If this fails for some reason code continues in the generic constructor stub which in turn might pass control to the runtime system.
Added counter to see how many objects are constructed using a specialized stub.
The specialized stub is only implemented for ia32 architecture in this change. For x64 and ARM the generic construct stub is used.

This is a trivial per-row compression:
- short aliases are introduced for events and code creation tags;
- in tick events, offsets are used instead of absolute addresses;
- removed 'code-allocation' event, as it seems not used.
The first two options are depend on the new flag: 'compress-log', which is off by default.
On benchmarks run w/o snapshot, this gives 45% log size reduction.
