(parser or code) and to be explicit about cache consumption or production
(rather than making presence of cached_data imply one or the other.)
Also add a --cache flag to d8, to allow testing the functionality.
-----------------------------
API change
Reason: Currently, V8 supports a 'parser cache' for repeatedly executing the same script. We'd like to add a 2nd mode that would cache code, and would like to let the embedder decide which mode they chose (if any).
Note: Previously, the 'use cached data' property was implied by the presence of the cached data itself. (That is, kNoCompileOptions and source->cached_data != NULL.) That is no longer sufficient, since the presence of data is no longer sufficient to determine /which kind/ of data is present.
Changes from old behaviour:
- If you previously didn't use caching, nothing changes.
Example:
v8::CompileUnbound(isolate, source, kNoCompileOptions);
- If you previously used caching, it worked like this:
- 1st run:
v8::CompileUnbound(isolate, source, kProduceToCache);
Then, source->cached_data would contain the
data-to-be cached. This remains the same, except you
need to tell V8 which type of data you want.
v8::CompileUnbound(isolate, source, kProduceParserCache);
- 2nd run:
v8::CompileUnbound(isolate, source, kNoCompileOptions);
with source->cached_data set to the data you received in
the first run. This will now ignore the cached data, and
you need to explicitly tell V8 to use it:
v8::CompileUnbound(isolate, source, kConsumeParserCache);

If the embedder chooses, the 'natives' (library sources) and the
precompiled startup blob can be written to files during the build
process and handed over to V8 at startup. The main purpose would be
to reduce the size of the compiled binary for space constrained
platforms.
The build-time option is off by default. Nothing should change if

I tried to limit the use of v8::Isolate::GetCurrent() and v8::internal::Isolate::Current() as much as possible, but sometimes this would have involved restructuring tests quite a bit, which is better left for a separate CL.

in preparation of the introduction of ES6 'symbols' (aka private/unique names).
The SymbolTable became the StringTable. I also made sure to adapt all comments. The only remaining use of the term "symbol" (other than unrelated uses in the parser and such) is now 'NewSymbol' in the API and the 'V8.KeyedLoadGenericSymbol' counter, changing which might break embedders.
The one functional change in this CL is that I removed the former 'empty_string' constant, since it is redundant given the 'empty_symbol' constant that we also had (and both were used inconsistently).

Unified parameter order of CreateHandle with the rest of v8 on the way. A few
Isolate::Current()s had to be introduced, which is not nice, and not every place
will win a beauty contest, but we can clean this up later easily in smaller steps.

the speed of deserializing code. The current startup
time improvement for V8 is around 6%, but code deserialization
is speeded up disproportionately, and we will soon have more
code in the snapshot.
* Removed support for deserializing into large object space.
The regular pages are 1Mbyte now and that is plenty. This
is a big simplification.
* Instead of reserving space for the snapshot we actually
allocate it now. This removes some special casing from
the memory management and simplifies deserialization since
we are just bumping a pointer rather than calling the
normal allocation routines during deserialization.
* Record in the snapshot how much we need to boot up and
allocate it instead of just assuming that allocations in
a new VM will always be linear.
* In the snapshot we always address an object as a negative
offset from the current allocation point. We used to
sometimes address from the start of the deserialized data,
but this is less useful now that we have good support for
roots and repetitions in the deserialization data.
* Code objects were previously deserialized (like other
objects) by alternating raw data (deserialized with memcpy)
and pointers (to external references, other objects, etc.).
Now we deserialize code objects with a single memcpy,
followed by a series of skips and pointers that partially
overwrite the code we memcopied out of the snapshot.
The skips are sometimes merged into the following
instruction in the deserialization data to reduce dispatch
time.
* Integers in the snapshot were stored in a variable length
format that gives a compact representation for small positive
integers. This is still the case, but the new encoding can
be decoded without branches or conditional instructions,
which is faster on a modern CPU.
