2beedf1181 Create a transition API for the debug message handler.
Kept the previous message handler API to avoid breaking clients depending on it.

The new message handler API uses a new name ending with 2.

95288e916e Changed the debugger message API to receive an object instead of a JSON string.
The object delivered to the debug message handler contains additional information on the current break handling the messages.

Clients which require just JSON message parsing can simply get the JSON using the GetJSON message on the message object to still have the previous behaviour.

  NewMessageHangler(const v8::Debug::Message& message) {
    v8::String::Value val(message.GetJSON());
    OldMessageHandler(Vector<uint16_t>(const_cast<uint16_t*>(*val), val.length()));
  }

Refactored some of the debugger code to use internal handles instead of API handles. Also changed Object to JSObject is some places.

The access to the active context when the break occurred is still not implemented. I will add this in a new CL, as this one is quite big already.

8fefc769f5 Removed the debug message thread.
The debug message thread was introduced to make it possible to have the message handler callback be called from a different thread than the thread running V8 where the debug event occoured, but it never had any practical use, and prevents providing information to the message handler which is only available from the V8 thread.

In the future any thread decoupling will have do be done by the embedder.

This also removes the queue used for outbound messages.

Renamed the class Message to CommandMessage as it is only used for debugger commands from the client. Related message queue classes has also been renamed.

For keyed IC loads setting a break point now ensures that the inlined code is not used. When the break point is set the inlined map check is changed to fail causing the inlined code not to be used but the IC to be called. As long at the break point is set the map check will stay invalid.

a74fcf458c Fixed the step in handling for function.apply.
The generic step-in mechanism floods the function called with break points to ensure a break is hit when entering the function. This generic mechanism was also used for function.apply. The code for function.apply contains a keyed load IC which was patched when stepping into function.apply. However function.apply enteres an internal frame not a JavaScript frame. This caused the logic for returning from the break in function.apply to fail as it forced a jump to the IC on the top JavaScript frame. The top JavaScript frame was the frame for the function calling function.apply not the frame for the apply function. Now returning from the break point in the keyed load IC in the apply code caused a jump to the code for the call IC for the function calling function.apply in the first place. Not a pretty sight.

Step-in now handles function.apply as a separate case where the actual JavaScript function called through apply is flodded with breakpoints instead of the function.apply function.

1f7a7d9c58 Change handling of debugger unloading.
Add a semaphore for accessing debugger varaibles which can be changed from a different thread. This is mainly the debug message handler which can be set to NULL to disconnect the debugger.

Control the unloading of the debugger from the V8 thread. Before the debugger unload was called from the thread setting the debug message handler to NULL. This was not safe as this involves calling into V8. This change handles the unloading of the debugger either when entering a debugger event and the debugger was disconnected while the debugger was not active or when leaving the debugger and the debugger was disconnected while the debugger was active.

Add a flag to avoid unloading the debugger if debugger code is used by the application for other purposes than debugging.

Added tests for clearing the debug message handler.

32de098ef6 Allow the debugger agent to reuse ports stuck in TIME_WAIT for listening.
When the debugger agent terminates the used port can be stuck in TIME_WAIT for some time depending on the OS and the state of the socket. With this change will allow the debug agent to start listening on a port still in TIME_WAIT. During development of both V8 and embedding applications this makes it much easier to restart an application using the debugger agent.

This also makes it possible to run the tests involving the debugger agent multiple times without failure.

17b498c957 A new stack guard break flag DEBUGCOMMAND has been introduced. This is used to signal debug break due to debugger commands available in the queue for processing. If a stack guard break happens with this flag and not the DEBUGBREAK flag the no debug break event is generated and execution is resumed automatically when all debugger commands in the queue has been processed.
This makes it possible to remote debuggers to just add commands to the queue without having to request a break as well. As soon as any JavaScript executes the debugger commands will be processed and the response send to the remote debugger.

Currently hide this behind a flag (--debugger-auto-break) as the current command line debugger in Chrome is not designed for this new behaviour, whereas the new Chrome developer tools will use it.

9d17b0d4c8 Whenever a script object is created it is assigned a unique id. Currently this id is assigned from an 32 bit integer counter.
Changed the script break points to be able to handle both break points based on script names and script ids. When break points are set through a script id the position is relative to the script itself. This is different from the script break points set through script names where the line/coulmn offset is taken into account.

This has the side effect that function break points are not converted into script break points for named scripts.

Show the script id in the D8 shell debugger when listing all scripts using the 'scripts' command.

44b83d3e77 Add host callback for debug break.
Add the ability to have the host embedding V8 receive a callback in the V8 thread while V8 is processing a debug callback. When V8 is processing a debug callback the thread where V8 is executing is sitting in a tight loop processing debug commands until the continue command has been executed. In some embedding situations it is beneficial to be able to call back into the embedding host from the thread where V8 is sitting. The might have functions which needs to be called to complement the JavaScript debugging.

Using the uint16_t array to pass a void* is a temporary hack.

f5f1cd2921 Changes to the V8 debugger support which otherwise caused problems with Chrome.
Added quoting of the name of the ref property using {"ref":1} instead of {ref:1}. The Chrome C++ JSON parser implementation requires quoted property names.

Changed the JSON format for non finite numbers. The previous formatting using NaN, Infinite and -Infinite caused the Chrome C++ JSON parser implementation to fail. Values "NaN", "Infinite" and "-Infinite" (incuding quotes) are now used.

Reverted changes to DebugLookupResultValue (runtime.cc) from http://codereview.chromium.org/17377. The change caused callback into Chrome with the current V8 context expected to have a DOM Window global object. This is not the case when the debugger context is the active context. This causes properties from interceptors and accessors to be reported as undefined in the debugger.

25112aba44 Refactored the mirror representation of properties. Removed the AssessorMirror and InterceptorPropertyMirror and moved all reflection for properties to PropertyMirror. From a PropertyMirror it can be checked whether a property has getter/setter defined in JavaScript and information on the getter/setter functions are now available. If calling the getter resulted in an exception this is reflected as well.
Properties from interceptors are also reflected through PropertyMirror as the distinction did not make sense seen from a JavaScript debugging perspective. The isNative function on a PropertyMirror can be used to check whether a property is defined natively by the host (or V8).

Simplified the local property lookup in the debug runtime call to just call GetProperty as the property is known to be a local property.

d63a3e13e6 Changed the debugger break handling to support situations where there are no stack frames. This can happen when an exception is thrown when compiling code.
This is related to Chromium issue 5349 (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5349).

80c0290714 Added a debugger call to run a JavaScript function in the debugger. When called the debugger will be entered and the JavaScript function will be called with the debugger ExecutionState object as its first parameter.
This makes it possible to get information like current line number, current script resource, backtrace information etc. which is not part of the normal API.

42ef2c3d77 Split window support from V8.
Here is a description of the background and design of split window in Chrome and V8:
https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/Doc?id=chhjkpg_47fwddxbfr

This change list splits the window object into two parts: 1) an inner window object used as the global object of contexts; 2) an outer window object exposed to JavaScript and accessible by the name 'window'. Firefox did it awhile ago, here are some discussions: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:SplitWindow. One additional benefit of splitting window in Chrome is that accessing global variables don't need security checks anymore, it can improve applications that use many global variables.

V8 support of split window:
  There are a small number of changes on V8 api to support split window:
Security context is removed from V8, so does related API functions;
A global object can be detached from its context and reused by a new context;
Access checks on an object template can be turned on/off by default;
An object can turn on its access checks later;

  V8 has a new object type, ApiGlobalObject, which is the outer window object type. The existing JSGlobalObject becomes the inner window object type. Security checks are moved from JSGlobalObject to ApiGlobalObject. ApiGlobalObject is the one exposed to JavaScript, it is accessible through Context::Global(). ApiGlobalObject's prototype is set to JSGlobalObject so that property lookups are forwarded to JSGlobalObject. ApiGlobalObject forwards all other property access requests to JSGlobalObject, such as SetProperty, DeleteProperty, etc.

  Security token is moved to a global context, and ApiGlobalObject has a reference to its global context. JSGlobalObject has a reference to its global context as well. When accessing properties on a global object in JavaScript, the domain security check is performed by comparing the security token of the lexical context (Top::global_context()) to the token of global object's context. The check is only needed when the receiver is a window object, such as 'window.document'. Accessing global variables, such as 'var foo = 3; foo' does not need checks because the receiver is the inner window object.

  When an outer window is detached from its global context (when a frame navigates away from a page), it is completely detached from the inner window. A new context is created for the new page, and the outer global object is reused. At this point, the access check on the DOMWindow wrapper of the old context is turned on. The code in old context is still able to access DOMWindow properties, but it has to go through domain security checks.


It is debatable on how to implement the outer window object. Currently each property access function has to check if the receiver is ApiGlobalObject type. This approach might be error-prone that one may forget to check the receiver when adding new functions. It is unlikely a performance issue because accessing global variables are more common than 'window.foo' style coding.

I am still working on the ARM port, and I'd like to hear comments and suggestions on the best way to support it in V8.

8391b19b07 Refactor the enum RelocMode changing the naming scheme from lower case to
upper case. Moved it into the RelocInfo class together with the associated
is_xxx functions. Renamed is_xxx to IsXxx in the process.

Removed the exit_js_frame mode as it was no longer used.

Patch Set 2 renames RELOC_MODE_COUNT to NUMBER_OF_MODES and fixes a couple of lint errors.

77196c5771 This is a new static flag system, designed to have all flags in a central place, and compiled into the binary without requiring static constructors for registration. All flags are moved out of the specific modules and into flags.defs, with different sections for debug, release, etc. The flag variables are always defined. For example, a debug flag in release mode still exists, but is read only and set to the default value.
