HeapNumbers do consume memory, so it's worth dumping them. However, we
don't dump their values, as they are not as self-descriptive as values
of strings, and they will increase snapshot size. Storing heap numbers
values can be added if we will feel a sufficient demand for that.
InternalFields are used, e.g. for storing references to DOM nodes
event handlers.

to avoid storing serialized snapshot on VM, instead it is emitted
using output stream interface.
The size of JSON emitted is roughly equal to used heap size
(when stored as an ASCII string).
Now a whole heap snapshot can be serialized and transmitted outside
VM. This makes possible:
- implementing non-async UI for heap snapshots inspection;
- storing heap snapshots for further inspection;
- remote profiling (we can even implement a snapshotting mode
where a snapshot isn't even stored in VM, only transmitted --
good for mobile devices);
- creating tools for outside heap snapshots processing, e.g.
converting to HPROF.

TYPE_CHECK in v8.h should assign to volatile qualified null-pointer.
Unless the pointer is volatile qualified, Clang will warn that LLVM
removes the assignment during optimization. This is not a problem as
that code should never execute, but the warning is treated as an error
when building Chromium, and thus stops the build.

To trace objects between snapshots, an external map of object tags is
maintained. After the first heap snapshot has been taken, the map is
updated by reporting object moves from the GC. If no snapshots were
taken, there is no overhead (except for flag checking).
I considered graph comparison algorithms that doesn't require using
object tags, but they are all of a high computational complexity, and
will still fail to detect object moves properly, even for trivial
cases, so using tags looks like unavoidable.

Changing ScriptData API to serialize its internal representation to a
const char* array.
This decouples the API from the internal representation and avoids the need for
callers to serialize themselves.
As a side-effect, ScriptData::New() no longer assumes ownership of its input.
This shouldn't matter as typical usage patterns for the old API would have
required a copy prior to calling ScriptData::New().

As several pages can run in a single V8 instance, it is possible to
have functions from different security contexts intermixed in a single
CPU profile. To avoid exposing function names from one page to
another, filtering is introduced.
The basic idea is that instead of capturing return addresses from
stack, we're now capturing JSFunction addresses (as we anyway work
only with JS stack frames.) Each JSFunction can reach out for
context's security token. When providing a profile to a page, the
profile is filtered using the security token of caller page. Any
functions with different security tokens are filtered out (yes, we
only do fast path check for now) and their ticks are attributed to
their parents.

1) Exposes Local<Context> v8::Debug::GetDebugContext().
Rationale: We can already get debugger context instance using various workarounds,
so exposing it explicitly in the API only makes things more clear.
2) Removes debugger.HasJavaScriptFrames() requirement for entering debugger context.
Rationale: Sometimes we'd like to call into debugger from the external native code.
3) Makes Debugger v8::Debug::Call execute on debugger context's global object.
Rationale: This is somewhat arguable, but temporary measure. We've agreed that we
should introduce a DebugAPI object that would expose necessary API in the debug-delay.
The problem is that it would take some time to define this API and it is not really
convenient to do that on the v8 land given the difference in v8 / host lifecycle.
The plan is to compose this API as a Debug.* wrapper outside v8 by means of exposing
debugger context's global object here, and once API settles down, upstream it to v8 and
start making Debug::Calls on this new DebugAPI object instead.

The different length string types was used to encode the string length and the hash in one field. This is now split into two fields one for length and one for hash. The hash field still encodes the array index of the string if it has one. If an array index is encoded in the hash field the string length is added to the top bits of the hash field to avoid a hash value of zero.
On 32-bit this causes an additional 4 bytes to be used for all string objects. On 64-bit this will be half on average dur to pointer alignment.

separate JS stack.
In exception handling, we need to be able to compare addresses into
the JavaScript portion of the stack with the address of a C++ handler
on the stack. Since the stacks are separate on the simulator, we need
a JavaScript stack address corresponding to a C++ try catch handler in
order to perform valid address comparisons.
On the simulator, we now link the C++ try catch handlers indirectly
through the JS stack and use the JS stack indirection address for
comparisons.

specification under development. The optimizations are patterned after
those previously done for CanvasPixelArray. This CL adds all of the
necessary framework but continues to use the generic KeyedLoadIC and
KeyedStoreIC code, to create a baseline for benchmarking purposes. The
next CL will add the optimized ICs to ic-ia32.cc and ic-x64.cc.
These new CanvasArray types have different semantics than
CanvasPixelArray; out-of-range values are clamped via C cast
semantics, which is cheaper than the clamping behavior specified by
CanvasPixelArray. Out-of-range indices raise exceptions instead of
being silently ignored.
As part of this work, pulled FloatingPointHelper::AllocateHeapNumber
up to MacroAssembler on ia32 and x64 platforms. Slightly refactored
KeyedLoadIC and KeyedStoreIC. Fixed encoding for fistp_d on x64 and

I'm planning to use it in DevTools heap profiler. It is a common scenario in debugging memory leaks to enforce GC, then perform an operation, then enforce GC again to check for non-collected (that is, leaked) objects.

As we'll have several aspects of heap profiling, it is more handy to control them using binary flags than by individual functions. CPU profiling represent just a particular aspect to control, so {Pause,Resume}Profiler and IsProfilerPaused are only left for compatibility.

When loaded scripts are requested this cache is filled with all the script objects in the heap. Hereafter its content is kept in sync with the active scripts in the heap through the notifications of new scripts compiled and by using weak handles to get notified when a script is collected.
Through the tracking of collected scripts the debugger event OnScriptCollected have been added to notify a debugger that a script previously returned through the scripts command is no longer in use.

The debug message thread was introduced to make it possible to have the message handler callback be called from a different thread than the thread running V8 where the debug event occoured, but it never had any practical use, and prevents providing information to the message handler which is only available from the V8 thread.
In the future any thread decoupling will have do be done by the embedder.

The message handler function set through the debugger API is normally called in a different thread than the V8 thread where execution is stopped due to debugger event. This change adds an option to the API for specifying that the message handler should be called directly from the V8 thread. For an application like Chrome where thread dispatching is already in place this makes more sense.
Add an option to the message handler debugger API to process messages in the thread where V8 is running instead of posting it to a queue for processing on a additional thread.
