This patch adds common infrastructure for fast TLS support and
implementation on win32. More implementations will be added soon.
Fast TLS is controlled by V8_FAST_TLS define which is enabled by
default in our gyp and scons builds. The scons build has
fasttls={on,off} option so that we can see the effects of slow TLS
when needed.

Instead of constructing a temporary container for all LOperands of each
instruction, the register works directly on the LIR instructions that
provide an abstract interface for input/output/temp operands.
This saves allocation of zone memory and speeds up LIR construction,
but makes iterating over all uses in the register allocator slightly
more expensive because environment uses are stored in a linked list of
environments. We can fix this by using a flat representation of LOperands.

Instead of spilling and then immediately restoring eax to resolve
memory to memory moves, the gap move resolver now tracks registers
that are known to be free and uses one if available. If not it spills
but restores lazily when the spilled value is needed or at the end of
the algorithm.
Instead of using esi for resolving cycles and assuming it is free to
overwrite because it can be rematerialized, the gap move resolver now
resolves cycles using swaps, possibly using a free register as above.
The algorithm is also changed to be simpler: a recursive depth-first
traversal of the move dependence graph. It uses a list of moves to be
performed (because it mutates the moves themselves), but does not use
any auxiliary structure other than the control stack. It does not
build up a separate list of scheduled moves to be interpreted by the
code generate, but emits code on the fly.

3. Added a use_verbose_printer flag (true by default) to allow some

Chromium build.
v8.gyp no longer sets any V8_TARGET_ARCH_* macro on the Mac. Instead, the
proper V8_TARGET_ARCH_* macro will be set by src/globals.h in the same way as
the V8_HOST_ARCH_* macro when it detects that no target macro is currently
defined. The Mac build will attempt to compile all ia32 and x86_64 .cc files.
#ifdef guards in each of these target-specific source files prevent their
compilation when the associated target is not selected. For completeness,
these #ifdef guards are also provided for the arm and mips .cc files.

of having a list of virtual frame pointers in the jump
target we have one virtual frame, which is the frame that
all have to merge to to branch to that frame. The virtual
frame in the JumpTarget is inside the JumpTarget, rather than
being an allocated object that is pointed to. Unfortunately
this means that the JumpTarget class has to be able to see
the size of a VirtualFrame object to compile, which in turn
lead to a major reorganization of related .h files. The
actual change of functionality in this change is intended
to be minimal (we now assert that the virtual frames match
when using JumpTarget instead of just assuming that they do).

Each frame element gets a new attribute with number type information. A frame element can be:
- smi
- heap number
- number (i.e. either of the above)
- or something else.
The type information is propagated along with all virtual frame operations.
Results popped from the frame carry the number information with them.
Two optimizations in the code generator make use of the new
information:
- GenericBinaryOpSyub omits map checks if input operands are numbers.
- Boolean conversion for numbers: Emit inline code for converting a number (smi or heap number) to boolean. Do not emit call to ToBoolean stub in this case.

fast-mode code generator.
AST expression nodes are annotated with a location when doing the
initial syntactic check of the AST. In the current implementation,
expression locations are 'temporary' (ie, allocated to the stack) or
'nowhere' (ie, the expression's value is not needed though it must be
evaluated for side effects).
For the assignment '.result = true' on IA32, we had before (with the
true value already on top of the stack):
32 mov eax,[esp]
35 mov [ebp+0xf4],eax
38 pop eax
Now:

fast code generator is optimized for compilation time and code size.
Currently it is only implemented on IA32. It is potentially triggered
for any code in the global scope (including code eval'd in the global
scope). It performs a syntactic check and chooses to compile in fast
mode if the AST contains only supported constructs and matches some
other constraints.
Initially supported constructs are
* ExpressionStatement,
* ReturnStatement,
* VariableProxy (variable references) to parameters and
stack-allocated locals,
* Assignment with lhs a parameter or stack-allocated local, and
* Literal
This allows compilation of literals at the top level and not much
else.
All intermediate values are allocated to temporaries and the stack is
used for all temporaries. The extra memory traffic is a known issue.
The code generated for 'true' is:
0 push ebp
1 mov ebp,esp
3 push esi
4 push edi

The profile is taken together with constructors profile. In theory, it
should represent a complete heap graph. However, this takes a lot of memory,
so it is reduced to a more compact, but still useful form. Namely:
- objects are aggregated by their constructors, except for Array and Object
instances, that are too hetereogeneous;
- for Arrays and Objects, initially every instance is concerned, but then
they are grouped together based on their retainer graph paths similarity (e.g.
if two objects has the same retainer, they are considered equal);

-fstrict-aliasing is enabled by mainline gcc at -O2 and higher, but in Apple
gcc, it must be enabled explicitly. This results in a 1.5% improvement in V8
benchmark scores.
This also removes the -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti settings from v8.gyp for
the Mac, and removes -fno-rtti from v8.gyp for Linux, because these settings
have become part of Chromium's common.gypi, included here, as of r23304 at the
latest. The settings in v8.gyp have become redundant.

The goal of this change is to allow longer profiling sessions and preserve memory when profiler isn't started. The buffer starts with 64K and grows until it reaches the upper limit, which is currently set to 50MB --- according to my evaluations, this is enough for at least 20 minutes of GMail profiling. As we're planning to introduce compression for the profiler log, this time boundary will be significantly increased soon.
To make possible unit testing of the new component, I've factored out Logger's utility classes into a separate source file: log-utils.h/cc. Log and LogMessageBuilder are moved there from log.cc without any semantical changes.

The current version is now held in src/version.cc in a number of defines which needs to be modified when changing version.
The following defines make up the version information:
MAJOR_VERSION
MINOR_VERSION
BUILD_NUMBER
PATCH_LEVEL
CANDIDATE_VERSION
The first four are numbers and the fifth is a boolean. Besides these five the define
SONAME
can be used to set a specific soname when building the a shared library (see below). This will most likely be used on stable branches where binary compatibility is ensured between different versions. This define is a string.
This version information is now read by the SCons build to support setting the soname for a Linux shared library. This requires passing the option soname=on to the SCons build.
When soname=on is specified the soname for the shared library can be set in two different ways. Either it will be the full versioned library name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so) or a specific soname defined in src/version.cc. Whenever a shared library is build with an soname the filename of the library will hold the full version name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so).
I did not update the xcode project with the new files.
