All slots that were recorded on these objects during incremental marking should be ignored as they are no longer valid.
To filter such invalidated slots out during slots buffers iteration we set all markbits under the invalidated code object to 1 after the code space was swept and before slots buffers are processed.

Due to issues relating mostly to chrome extensions we have lately been
running into OOMs that are caused by our executable space running
out. This change introduces flushing of code from regexps if we have
not used the code for 5 mark sweeps.
The approach is different from the normal function code flusing. Here
we make a copy of the code inside the data array, and exchange the
original code with a smi determined by the sweep_generation (a new
heap variable increased everytime we do mark sweep/compact). If we
encounter a smi in EnsureCompiled we simply reinstate the code
object. If, in the marking phase of mark sweep, we find a regexp that
already have a smi in the code field, and this is more than 5
generations old we flush the code from the saved index.

- Overhaul enum InstanceType:
* Introduce FIRST/LAST_SPEC_OBJECT_TYPE that ranges over all types that
represent JS objects, and use that consistently to check language types.

Better support for 'polymorphic' JS and external arrays
Allow keyed store/load stubs to switch between external array and fast JS arrays without forcing a state transition to the generic stub.
There CL consists of two pieces of functionality. First, code stubs for fast element arrays don't immediately transition to the MEGAMORPHIC state when there's a map mismatch. Second, two ICs are cached per map for fast elements, the MONOMORPHIC version, and a new MEGAMORPHIC version that handles two or more different maps and dispatches to shared stubs to perform the array operation.

While trying to fix Mac and Windows versions for this change:
http://codereview.chromium.org/6771047/, I figured out, that we
already store an isolate in StackFrameIterator, so we can use it in
frame objects, instead of requiring it from caller.
I've changed iterators usage to the following scheme: whenever a
caller maintains an isolate pointer, it just passes it to stack
iterator, and no more worries about passing it to frame content
accessors. If a caller uses current isolate, it can omit passing it
to iterator, in this case, an iterator will use the current isolate,
too.
There was a special case with LiveEdit, which creates
detached copies of frame objects.

The main issue was due to multiple recompilations of functions. Now
code objects are grouped by function using SFI object address.
JSFunction objects are no longer tracked, instead we track SFI object
moves. To pick a correct code version, we now sample return addresses
instead of JSFunction addresses.

The number of inobject properties used to be derived from the number
of this property assignments in the constructor (and increased by 2 to
allow for properties added later). This very often leads to wasted inobject
slots.
This patch reclaims some of the unused inobject space by the following method:
- for each constructor function the first several objects are allocated using the initial
("generous) instance size estimation (this is called 'tracking phase').
- during the tracking phase map transitions are tracked and actual property counts are collected.
- at the end of the tracking phase instance sizes in the maps are decreased if necessary
(starting with the function's initial map and traversing the transition tree).
- all further allocation use more realistic instance size estimation.
Shrinking generously allocated objects without costly heap traversal is made possible
by initializing their inobject properties with one_pointer_filler_map (instead of undefined).
The initial slack for the generous allocation is increased from 2 to 6 which really helps some tests.

To trace objects between snapshots, an external map of object tags is
maintained. After the first heap snapshot has been taken, the map is
updated by reporting object moves from the GC. If no snapshots were
taken, there is no overhead (except for flag checking).
I considered graph comparison algorithms that doesn't require using
object tags, but they are all of a high computational complexity, and
will still fail to detect object moves properly, even for trivial
cases, so using tags looks like unavoidable.

Added support for more precise break points when debugging and stepping. To achieve that additional nop instructions are inserted where breaking would otherwise be impossible. The number of nop instructions inserted are sufficient to make place for patching with a call to a debug break code stub. On Intel that is 5 nop's for 32-bit and 13 for 64-bit. Om ARM 3 nop instructions (12 bytes) are required.
In order to avoid inserting nop's in to many places a simple ast checker have been added to check whether there are breakable code in a statement or expression. If it is possible to break in an expression no additional break enabeling code is inserted.
Added break locations to the true and false part of a conditional expression.
Added stepping tests to cover more constructs.
These changes are only in the full compiler.
Changed the default value for the option --debugger in teh d8 shell from true to false. The reason for this is that with --debugger turned on the full compiler will be used for all code in when running d8, which can be unexpeceted.

The problem appeared due to a fact that stubs doesn't create a stack
frame, reusing the stack frame of the caller function. When building
stack traces, the current function is retrieved from PC, and its
callees are retrieved by traversing the stack backwards. Thus, for
stubs, the stub itself was discovered via PC, and then stub's caller's
caller was retrieved from stack.
To fix this problem, a pointer to JSFunction object is now captured
from the topmost stack frame, and is saved into stack trace log
record. Then a simple heuristics is applied whether a referred
function should be added to decoded stack, or not, to avoid reporting
the same function twice (from PC and from the pointer.)

This is necessary as ::has_next() has an important side-effect of going to the next

On 32-bit the maps are now aligned on a 32-byte boundary in order to encode more maps during compacting GC. The actual size of a map on 32-bit is 28 bytes making this change waste 4 bytes per map.
On 64-bit the encoding for compacting GC is now using more than 32-bits and the maps here are still pointer size aligned. The actual size of a map on 64-bit is 48 bytes and this change does not intruduce any waste.
My choice of 16 bits for kMapPageIndexBits for 64-bit should give the same maximum number of pages (8K) for map space. As maps on 64-bit are larger than on 32-bit the total number of maps on 64-bit will be smaller than on 32-bit. We could consider raising this to 17 or 18.
I moved the kPageSizeBits to globals.h as the calculation of the encoding really depended on this.
There are still an #ifdef/#endif in objects.h and this constant could be moved to globaks.h as well, but I kept it together with the related constants.
All the tests run in debug mode with additional options --gc-global --always-compact as well (except for a few tests on which also fails before this change when run with --gc-global --always-compact).

limit before the GC, but that means that we take all the garbage

we have a lot of garbage).
This change changes the policy to compact on the *next* GC if we
determine that we have too much fragmentation after doing a GC.
We'll do a GC if we've wasted more than 1MB and more than 15% of

* 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.

Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option.
Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and process.cc samples.

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.

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.

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.
