The Great Master Plan is to move the recognition of special cases for
comparisons further down the compilation pipeline where more information is
available. This is a first step into this direction: The special handling of
equality comparisons involving null is pushed from the parser to the code
generators, removing the need for a special AST node. (There are rumors from
usually well-informed sources that this node type is actually a relic of ancient
crankshaft days...)
The next steps will be the unification of null/undefined handling and pushing
the special case handling in crankshaft even further down the pipeline, enabling
the recognition of cases like "var foo=null; if (foo === bar) ...", but these
will be in separate CLs.

Remove the try/finally used for with and catch. Instead of using
try/finally to handle break and continue from with or catch,
statically track nesting dept and clean up when compiling break or
continue.
And instead of using try/finally to handle throw to handler in a frame
whose pc is inside a with or catch, store the context that the handler
should run in in the handler itself.

The catch variable is bound in the catch scope. For simplicity in this
initial implementation, it is always allocated even if unused and always
allocated to a catch context even if it doesn't escape. The presence of
catch is no longer treated as a with.
In this change, care must be taken to distinguish between the scope where a
var declaration is hoisted to and the scope where the initialization occurs.

Introduce separate maps for function and with contexts. Use the function
context map for testing whether a context is a function context (global
contexts are no longer function contexts).
Split the paths for allocating with and catch contexts.
Rename some functions. Generally refactor code to make it simpler.

There was an unnecessary load on every statically-resolved context lookup.
Remove it.
This revealed a hidden bug in const initializers inside 'with'. They claim
to be statically resolved (having slot type CONTEXT) but they occur in a
spot where the runtime context chain and the static scope chain do not
agree. This is fixed by special casing const initializers in the backend.

This change adds a data-flow pass to statically determine
if a variable contains a primitive type.
It requires building the flow graph and computing reaching
definitions as pre-requisites. The analysis annotates all
VariableProxy nodes with the result.

The flow graph is built by walking the AST. Edges are labeled with
instructions (AST nodes). Normal nodes have a single predecessor edge and a
single (labeled) successor edge. Branch nodes are explicit, they have a
single predecessor edge and a pair of (unlabeled) successor edges. Merge
nodes are explicit, they have a pair of predecessor edges and a single
(unlabeled) successor edge.
There is a distinguished (normal) entry node and a distinguished (special)
exit node with arbitrarily many predecessor edges and no successor edges.
The graph is intended to support graph-based analysis and transformation.

This change adds a post-order numbering to AST nodes that
are relevant for the fast code generator. It is only invoked
together with the fast compiler.
Also changed the ast printer to print the numbering for
testing purposes if it is present.

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.

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.

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.

instead of normal JSObjects.
This ensures that __proto__ and accessors on the Object prototype do
not interfere with catch scopes. Also, it fixes the bug that catch
variables were not DontDelete (issue 74).
Next step is to create special lookup routines for context extension
objects and remove the special handling of context extension objects
from the general javascript object lookup routines.

In the shell sample don't print the result of executing a script, only
evaluating expressions.
Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8
library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the
generated library 18% smaller.
Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build and
generate seperate objects, libraries and executables for each mode.
Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since this
visibly changes operand conversion order.
Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in preparsing.
Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out with stack overflow.

Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262.
Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect code was generated because of overly aggressive branch elimination.
Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same function to the same property of different objects with the same map.
Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines. The disassembler no longer expects DEBUG to be defined.
Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform implementations.
