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.

I'm planning to use it in DevTools heap profiler. It is a common scenario in debugging memory leaks to enforce GC, then perform an operation, then enforce GC again to check for non-collected (that is, leaked) objects. Using the existing GC extension isn't possible because it doesn't exposed in the normal operation mode of Chromium.

As we'll have several aspects of heap profiling, it is more handy to control them using binary flags than by individual functions. CPU profiling represent just a particular aspect to control, so {Pause,Resume}Profiler and IsProfilerPaused are only left for compatibility.
For now, PROFILER_FLAG_HEAP_STATS and PROFILER_FLAG_JS_CONSTRUCTOR are equivalent, but later will be split.

interceptors and dont-delete attributes.
Minor change to the behavior of eval: throw exception when calling
eval in a context for which the global has been detached. This
matches the behavior of both Firefox and Safari post navigation in the
browser.

This will enable reading profiler log in Chrome. The current implementation of memory buffer is trivial (fixed size buffer, no memory recycling) but enough to start end-to-end DevTools Profiler implementation. Later it will be enhanced.

- String traversal test data (now in a zone)
- Debug message thread (now joined on exit)
- Threading test threads (now joined on exit)
- Changed message tests framework to cope with valgrind
Also, fixed a bug where we'd try to delete stack-allocated objects
when tearing down v8. Good times.

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.

through the API. This allows us to verify state on entry through the API.
In this change verification in the API entry is checking that the current
thread holds the V8 lock when a HandleScope is instantiated if a v8::Locker
has ever been used by the V8 instance.

The main goal was to improve O(n^2) behavior when there are many object groups. The old API required the grouping to be done on the v8 side, along with a linear search. The new interface requires the caller to do the grouping, passing V8 entire groups at a time. This removes the group id concept on the v8 side.
- Changed AddObjectToGroup to AddObjectGroup.
- Removed the group id concept from the V8 side.
- Remove a static constructor while I'm here, lazily initialize
the object groups list.
- Cleaned up return by non-const references to return pointers.

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.

exceptions.
It turned out that the stack overflow fix from before had disabled
message storing in another test. Previously, stack overflows would
actually cause a message object to start being created but cause
another exception which would not be reported and that's what stopped
the infinite regress. This change resores that behavior.
