Previous implementation of sampler for OS X was copied from the Linux one. But BSD (OS X) and Linux has a very important difference in signal handling. LinuxThreads doesn't support the notion of process-directed signals. So, the SIGPROF signal was directed to the thread that installed the handler---the V8 thread. But on BSD, signal handling is implemented according to POSIX spec, where process-directed signal is to be handled by an arbitrary selected thread. By a coincidence, in V8's sample shell and in Chromium's test shell, V8's thread was picked almost every time, so sampling seemed working. But not in case of Chromium.
So, I've changed the implementation of profiler sampler to use the same scheme as on Windows---a dedicated thread with high priority is used to periodically pause and sample V8's thread.

I suggest that the lack of initialization causes issue 358 to happen. In Profiler::Disengage an empty TickSample is inserted in order to wake up the Profiler thread. Issue reporter claims that crash happens in LogTickEvent function. My guess is that frames_couint receives a wild value.

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.

This is intended to be used with Chromium. When in resource-saving mode, profiler doesn't consume any resources (sampler and logging is off) until resumed. Then again, when profiler is paused, sampling and logging are turned off.
Tested under Linux and Windows. Also have done preliminary testing with Chromium.

a reason to stack allocate large chunks of stack space.
- Runtime_GetCFrames used to allocate a frame size of 52040 bytes.
- PreallocatedMemoryThread::Run used to allocate 32784 bytes.
- Fixed StringStream overflow conditions.

and unprotecting it when (re)entering. The functionality is enabled
by the flag --protect-heap and requires V8 to be built with
ENABLE_HEAP_PROTECTION and ENABLE_LOGGING_AND_PROFILING defined.
Implemented on Linux and Windows but not yet for other platforms.

The code has been compiled and tested on Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
The FreeBSD version is a copy of the Linux version which should work on FreeBSD as well. According to the FreeBSD documentation clock_gettime is part of the standard C library so the assumption is that no additional link libraries is required for FreeBSD.

JavaScriptFrameIterator is templatized on the iterator type and renamed to JavaScriptFrameIteratorTemp.
The original JSFI is now a typedef for JavaScriptFrameIteratorTemp<StackFrameIterator>. Because of templatizing, JSFI code is moved to frames-inl.h
StackTraceFrameIterator moved to frames.*
Implemented SafeStackFrameIterator which wraps StackFrameIterator and have the same interface. It performs additional checks of stack addresses prior to delegating to StackFrameIterator. SafeSFI is used in an another specialization of JavaScriptFrameIteratorTemp template to perform safe JS frames iteration on sampler ticks.
I haven't took an advantage of having multiple stack frames in tickprocessor yet.

The new Socket class is an encapsulation of the standard BSD socket API. As it depends on platform specific include files and have some slight platform variations it is part of the platform code.
On Mac OS only the option SO_REUSEADDR is set to true for server sockets. Running the test required it as the bound listener socket would sometimes end up in TIME_WAIT. On Windows and Linux this has never been observed (given the client end of the socket is closed before the server end).
The code has been tested on Windows, Linux and Mac OS. The FreeBSD version is a copy of the Linux version but has not been compiled nor tested.
Missing Xcode project updates.

V8 can now be build with MinGW. It still fails the following four tests in debug mode:
mjsunit/parse-int-float
mjsunit/mirror-array.js
mjsunit/integer-to-string.js
mjsunit/regress/regress-114.js
Building with MinGW has been tested with version 5.1.4 using GCC 3.4.5.
In addition to supporting MinGW this change also makes it more explicit which targets needs to link with which libraries.

* Make old_data_space non-executable on OSs and hardware that support it.
* Rename old_space to old_pointer_space (can contain pointers, esp. to new space).
* Ensure that individual pages allocated for old_space are only executable when
they are for code objects.
* Ensure Space::Setup can cope with non-aligned memory.
* Make some methods on Spaces virtual. Make a way to iterate over all spaces.
* Replace executability flag with Executability enum in order to make intent at
call site clearer.
* Fix serialization/deserialization to allocate write barrier memory for large
arrays.

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.

Cleaned up ARM version by removing top of stack caching and by introducing push/pop elimination.
Cleaned up the way runtime functions are called to allow runtime calls with no arguments.
Changed Windows build options to make sure that exceptions are disabled and that optimization flags are enabled.
Added first version of Visual Studio project files.

Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8.
Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string.
Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made serialization non-destructive.
Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved registers (removed).
Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage collection and the code for allocating objects in paged spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap-allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects.
Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events.
Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a function is enumerable.
Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in generated code.
Merged disassembler-{arch} files.
