Summary:
This change fixes a performance regression introduced by the special
handling of regular expressions in typeof expressions.
As a result we regain ~8% speedup on 3d-raytrace and ~13% on boyer
(vs bleeding edge)
Description:
The macros IS_OBJECT and IS_FUNCTION are frequently used in the
JS runtime functions.
By introducing new inlined runtime functions %_IsFunction and %_IsObject
we avoid invoking the more expensive %_ClassOf function plus comparing
its result to a string.

Condition block of do/while statements is a valid break location so it should have its own position. The block is represented by a regular Expression node so we cannot store the position in it, instead the position is stored in a separate field in DoWhileStatement AST node.

There were two separate implementations of the function
'BuildBoilerplate' that is used to compile function declarations and
function literals. The implementations did not do exactly the same
thing. In particular, one ignored the flag --lazy.
Combine the two implementations.

directly-applied function literals that are themselves compiled with
the top-level code generator.
The choice is guarded by a test that the function is anonymous (thus
not expected to be recursive) and not in a loop.
A compilation hint is set in the shared function info and used to make
the choice.

- Added infrastructure for custom stub caching.
- Push the code object onto the stack in exit calls instead of a
debug/non-debug marker.
- Remove the DEBUG_EXIT frame type.
- Add a new exit stub generator for API getters.

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
5 push 0xf5cca135 ;; object: 0xf5cca135 <undefined>
10 cmp esp,[0x8277efc]
16 jnc 27 (0xf5cbbb1b)
22 call 0xf5cac960 ;; code: STUB, StackCheck, minor: 0
27 push 0xf5cca161 ;; object: 0xf5cca161 <true>
32 mov eax,[esp]
35 mov [ebp+0xf4],eax
38 pop eax
39 mov eax,[ebp+0xf4]
42 mov esp,ebp ;; js return
44 pop ebp
45 ret 0x4
48 mov eax,0xf5cca135 ;; object: 0xf5cca135 <undefined>
53 mov esp,ebp ;; js return
55 pop ebp
56 ret 0x4

implementation is not yet complete (it prints only the node name for
some AST constructs) and does not serialize everything needed to
reconstitute the AST.
It is motivated by a desire to prototype source-to-source
transformations in JavaScript itself (or anything else that can grok
JSON), but it should have other uses too.
Feedback is welcome.

while, and for loops.
Previously they were distinguished by a type field, which required
runtime asserts to avoid invalid nodes (since not all loop types have
the same internal structure). Now they C++ type system is used to
require well-formed loop ASTs.
Because they do not share compilation code, we had very large
functions in the code generators that merely did a runtime dispatch to
a specific implementation based on the type.

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.

Only send the inscructions part of a code object to oprofile when reporting dynamically generated code. Before the code object header was also reported to oprofile as code which caused strange disassembly output when using opannotate.

Marsaglia's multiply-with-carry instead of mixing the
bits obtained from calling the system random() twice.
This seems to be a bit faster and gives a better
distribution than the system random() in particular on
Windows.

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.

deferred code snippets are highly stylized. They always make a call
to a stub or the runtime and then return. This change takes advantage
of that.
Creating a deferred code object now captures a snapshot of the
registers in the virtual frame. The registers are automatically saved
on entry to the deferred code and restored on exit.
The clients of deferred code must ensure that there is no change to
the registers in the virtual frame (eg, by allocating which can cause
spilling) or to the stack pointer. That is currently the case.
As a separate change, I will add either code to verify this constraint
or else code to forbid any frame effect.
The deferred code itself does not use the virtual frame or register
allocator (or even the code generator). It is raw macro assembler
code.

called from within a loop or not. In the past we lost the
information if a call site went megamorphic before a lazily
compiled callee was called for the first time. Now we track
that correctly (this is an issue that affects richards).
We still don't manage to track the in-loop state through a
constructor call, since constructor calls use LoadICs instead
of CallICs. This issue affects delta-blue. So in this patch
we assume that lazy compilations that don't happen through a
CallIC happen from inside a loop. I have an idea to fix this
but this patch is big enough already.
With our improved tracking of in-loop state I have switched
off the inlining of in-object loads for code that is not in
a loop. This benefits compile speed. One issue is that
eagerly compiled code now doesn't get the in-object loads
inlined. We need to eagerly compile less code to fix this.

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.

ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT is enabled by default unless it is on Android platform.
On Android platform, it can also enabled by passing -DENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT flag to the compiler.
This should not affect any existing build (I hope, cross my fingers) except the build in real Android environment (in other word, it only affects me now).
There are lot of room for code refactoring in stead of using #ifdef all over the place. I will leave this to v8 folks.

Currently function name inference is wired with AST optimization pass to avoid introducing another pass over AST. A better solution would be to rewrite AST visitors so they can be naturally combined together in a single pass, as their current implementation doesn't allow it.
For examples of cases where function names can be inferred, see the tests file.

counting the reference to the return value and passing it to the
return label. This requires threading it through try/catch and
try/finally. The return value is loaded into eax more lazily than
before.
Also, perform some related refactoring of jump targets.
