The construction of arrays when using the the Array function either as a constructor or a normal function is now handled fully in generated code in most cases. Only when Array is called with one argument which is either negative or abowe JSObject::kInitialMaxFastElementArray (which is currently 1000) or if the allocated object cannot fit in the room left in new space is the runtime system entered.
Two new native code built-in functions are added one for normal invocation and one for the construct call. The existing C++ builtin is renamed, but kept. When the normal invocation cannot be handled in generated code the C++ builtin is called. When the construct invocation cannot be handled in native code the generic construct stub is called (which will end up in the C++ builtin through a construct trampoline).
One thing that might be changed is preserving esi (constructor function) during the handling of a construct call. We know precisily what function we where calling anyway and can just reload it. This could remove the parameter construct_call to ArrayNativeCode and remove the handling of this from that function.
The X64 and ARM implementations are not part of this changelist.

Objects which require an additional fixed array to be allocated now have this allocated in generated code as well. Added allocation flags to the macro assembler new space allocation routines.
Changed the ia32 and x64 macro assemblers to take allocation flags to the allocation routines instead of boolean flag.

This only wins us around 1% in performance, but it makes the code more
compact. We don't currently have a way to represent in the virtual
frame that a slot contains a value from the root array. Adding this
would probably make the code more compact.

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.

and for runtime calls.
We could not handle functions with no explicit return statement. I
added support for that as well. The place was hard to find because
code was left out from the codegenerator with no TODO comment. We
need to make sure to comment if we leave out code when porting
something. :-)

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.
