If a two-byte string only contains ascii characters, then we can save
memory when flattening a cons string containing it. Similarly we can
use this in Array.prototype.join implementation. To track this a new
bit is added to instance type. This bit is used as a hint in generated
code and in runtime functions.
To enable testing a new V8 extension is added controlled by
--expose-externalize-string flag.

With the change in r4820 all return statements are now breakable like any statement, so stepping will stop before the return statement actually returning from a function. With this change the position when breaking in the function return (after executing the return statement) will be the actual end of the function. At this point the return value is available as it saved to the stack by the debug break at return handling. Added information on the actual value returned from the function to the debugger.

Added support for more precise break points when debugging and stepping. To achieve that additional nop instructions are inserted where breaking would otherwise be impossible. The number of nop instructions inserted are sufficient to make place for patching with a call to a debug break code stub. On Intel that is 5 nop's for 32-bit and 13 for 64-bit. Om ARM 3 nop instructions (12 bytes) are required.
In order to avoid inserting nop's in to many places a simple ast checker have been added to check whether there are breakable code in a statement or expression. If it is possible to break in an expression no additional break enabeling code is inserted.
Added break locations to the true and false part of a conditional expression.
Added stepping tests to cover more constructs.
These changes are only in the full compiler.
Changed the default value for the option --debugger in teh d8 shell from true to false. The reason for this is that with --debugger turned on the full compiler will be used for all code in when running d8, which can be unexpeceted.

In mjsunit/const-eval-init - testInitSlowCaseExtension a range of objects are initialized to undefined instead of a value because the variable i is within quotes (i.e., the source becommes "a1 = i" instead of "a1 = 1".
This should have no impact on the test, I just stumbled over this on
an unrelated matter.

Changed the disposal of external string resources to call a virtual Dispose method on the resource. The default inplementation of Dispose deletes the object and will capture the delete operator matching the new operator used to allocate the object.

This adds an additional step to full gc, removing code from functions
that are no longer in the compilation cache. The code is replaced with
a lazy compile version enabling us to recompile the function in case
we do actually need it again.

Eventually named property query callbacks will return attributes
(as an integer) or an empty handle if property is not intercepted.
To gradually migrate to this new API, USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK
macro would control if old or new style API is used.
So the migration plan is:
1) introduce new API which should be explictily enabled;
2) switch to new API defining USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK before
include of <v8.h> (that would require changes to client code as well)
3) remove old API from v8
4) remove #define USE_NEW_QUERY_CALLBACK from clients.

perform a context lookup in the runtime system for the 'eval'
function. Instead load the 'eval' function from the global context in
generated code if it is not shadowed.
Will port to other platforms as a separate change.

Currently if there is no query callback, V8 finds out intercepted properties'
attributes using getter: if getter returns not empty handle V8 treats
such a property as property with NONE attribues which means this property
is enumerable.
However, if there is no enumerator, this property cannot be enumerated.
Thus I think we should treat such properties as not enumerable.
Drawback of this approach is now one has to implement both query and enumerator
callbacks to implement enumerable intercepted properties.

This fix adds support for retriving a property descriptor on elements. The
new version supports both fast and slow case elements. In the fast case
we always default configurable, writable, enumerable to true (we don't have
PropertyDetails for fast elements).
A few new tests are added to get-own-property-descriptor.js, I will
add a lot more to object-define-property when I add support for indices in
Object.defineProperty.

NumberToUint32 that I was trying to use maps -0 to +0 (as desired) but
also maps +/-Infinity to +0, which made +/-Infinity a valid string
index. I fixed it by introducing a new runtime function with the right
semantics.

These string methods can be composed from two basic blocks: charCodeAt
and fromCharCode, both of which have fast cases for certain types of
inputs. In this patch these two blocks are refactored to allow
generating the fast cases without having to jump around the slow
cases. In the slow cases since they can now be invoked both from
inline runtime functions and from IC stubs we either have to
save/restore state of the current frame or enter/leave a new internal
frame. This is handled by new RuntimeCallHelper interface. Its
implementation for virtual frame is based on FrameRegisterState class
extracted from DeferredCode class.

1) do not push receiver early---that simplifies tail call preparation
on ia32/x64 and renders special cleanup unnecessary;
2) do not do second map check if interceptor's and cached holder
are the same;
3) do not push/pop receiver if receiver and holder registers are the same
(means that receiver is interceptor's holder);
4) do batch pushes on arm;
5) minor cosmetic improvements.

The existing version will overwrite the existing writable flag with
false even in the case where no new value is given and the existing
writable flag is true.
The reason for the issue is that there is no check to see if the
provided descriptor actually has a writable attribute. This causes us
to use the default value (false) even in the case where nothing was
provided. In addition, the existing tests makes wrong assumptions (that writable is always set to false if not provided) and has been changed to follow the specification.

The full compiler is now complete on ARM as well. The syntax checker is still used to determine whether to use it for top level code or not during normal execution. When debugging is enabled all code will be compiled with the full compiler.
This change removes the temporary flag --force-full-compiler and now the flag --always-full-compiler enables the full compiler for all code on all platforms.
This also fixes building on Intel platform without debugger support (ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT not defined) and adds full check for the full compiler for lazily compiled code.

- New сardmarking write barrier handles large objects and normal objects in a similar fashion (no more additional space for pointer tracking is required, no conditional branches in WB code).
- Changes to enable oldspaces iteration without maps decoding:
-- layout change for FixedArrays: length is stored as a smis (initial patch by
Kevin Millikin)
-- layout change for SharedFunctionInfo: integer fields are stored as smi on
arm, ia32 and rearranged on x64.
-- layout change for String: meaning of LSB bit is fliped (1 now means hash not
computed); on x64 padding is added.
-- layout of maps is _not_ changed. Map space is currently iterated in a special
way.
