The profile is taken together with constructors profile. In theory, it
should represent a complete heap graph. However, this takes a lot of memory,
so it is reduced to a more compact, but still useful form. Namely:
- objects are aggregated by their constructors, except for Array and Object
instances, that are too hetereogeneous;
- for Arrays and Objects, initially every instance is concerned, but then
they are grouped together based on their retainer graph paths similarity (e.g.
if two objects has the same retainer, they are considered equal);

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.

Android system provides a unique feature that it sends a notification to the
browser in low memory condition, and the browser cleans up cache and frees
resources. Forcing a GC in low memory condition can free DOM objects and also
can shrink the old spaces.

I would prefer to not use the flags to signal that a compacting collection is
requested.

Additionally fix NewSpace capacity bug by removing the duplicated
capacity and maximum capacity book keeping. The capacity and maximum
capacity of NewSpace is the capacity and maximum capacity of one of
it's semispaces.

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.

Allocate the code stubs dictionary and non monomorphic cache dictionary with an initial size which avoids these dictionaries to be expanded during bootstrapping. This gets rid of 9 dictionary expansions during bootstrapping.
Preallocate the dictionary when normalizing an object to a size sufficient for holding the number of properties which is expected to be added to the object. This is used when ceating an object from an object literal boilerplate where multiple properties are known to be added. This gets rid of 10 dictionary expansions during bootstrapping.
There are now 3 dictionary expansions left during bootstrapping.

It is activated with '--log-gc' flag.
JS object size is calculated as its size + size of 'properties' and 'elements' arrays, if they are non-empty. This doesn't take maps, strings, heap numbers, and other shared objects into account.
As Soeren suggested, I've moved ZoneSplayTree from jsregexp to zone, and removed now empty jsregexp-inl header file.

If V8 is holding on to a lot of external memory, we attempt to clean
it up even if we do not get an allocation failure. Since tiny V8
objects can hold on to a lot of external memory, we might run out of
external memory while waiting for a normal allocation failure.

The flag is only turned on when --trace_gc is one. It prints out used and available bytes in each space. To enable it, ENABLE_LOGGING_AND_PROFILING must be defined.
This is a mini version of --heap_stats, but don't need DEBUG macro to be turned on.
