With the upcoming changes to CALLBACKS properties, a predicate on the transition
type alone doesn't make sense anymore: For CALLBACKS one has to look into the
property's value to decide, and there is even the possibility of having a an
accessor function *and* a transition in the same property.
I am not completely happy with some parts of this CL, because they contain
redundant code, but given the various representations we currently have for
property type/value pairs, I can see no easy way around that. Perhaps one can
improve this a bit in a different CL, the current diversity really, really hurts
productivity...
As a bonus, this CL includes a few minor things:
* CaseClause::RecordTypeFeedback has been cleaned up and it handles the
NULL_DESCRIPTOR case correctly now. Under some (very unlikely) circumstances,
we previously missed some opportunities for monomorphic calls. In general, it
is rather unfortunate that NULL_DESCRIPTOR "shines through", it is just a
hack for the inability to remove a descriptor entry during GC, something
callers shouldn't have to be aware of.
* DescriptorArray::CopyInsert has been cleaned up a bit, preparing it for later
CALLBACKS-related changes.
* LookupResult::Print is now more informative for CONSTANT_TRANSITION.

Yak shaving for map sharing with accessor properties contd.: When CALLBACKS can
have map transitions, simply looking at the property type is not sufficient
anymore to decide if a property is there or not. One has to look at the actual
contents of the descriptor entry then, but this breaks down sometimes when the
lookup is being done with a NULL holder. Luckily enough, we can oftren replace
IsProperty by the simpler IsFound, because we inspect the type immediately
afterwards, anyway.

The ES.next draft rev 4 in section 11.13 reads:
It is a Syntax Error if the AssignmentExpression is contained in extended code
and the LeftHandSideExpression is an Identifier that does not statically resolve
to a declarative environment record binding or if the resolved binding is an
immutable binding.
This CL adds corresponding static checks for the immutable binding case.

This CL introduces a third mode next to the non-strict
(henceforth called 'classic mode') and 'strict mode'
which is called 'extended mode' as in the current
ES.next specification drafts. The extended mode is based on
the 'strict mode' and adds new functionality to it. This
means that most of the semantics of these two modes
coincide.
The 'extended mode' is entered instead of the 'strict mode'
during parsing when using the 'strict mode' directive
"use strict" and when the the harmony-scoping flag is
active. This should be changed once it is fully specified how the 'extended mode' is entered.
This change introduces a new 3 valued enum LanguageMode
(see globals.h) corresponding to the modes which is mostly
used by the frontend code. This includes the following
components:
* (Pre)Parser
* Compiler
* SharedFunctionInfo, Scope and ScopeInfo
* runtime functions: StoreContextSlot,
ResolvePossiblyDirectEval, InitializeVarGlobal,
DeclareGlobals
The old enum StrictModeFlag is still used in the backend
when the distinction between the 'strict mode' and the 'extended mode' does not matter. This includes:
* SetProperty runtime function, Delete builtin
* StoreIC and KeyedStoreIC
* StubCache

Named function expression have an implicit local variable that
refers to the current function (ThisFunction). Before we only could inline
anonymous function expressions like:
A.prototype.foo = function() {}
as opposed to
A.prototype.foo = function foo() {}
This change enables inlining function of expressions like this.

Although this patch is not small, most parts of it are rather mechanical:
* First of all, the concept of a 'nil-like' value is introduced, which can be
null or undefined. They are treated symmetrically regarding comparisons, so
it makes sense to handle them in a uniform manner. It is a mystery why
JavaScript defines two of those beasts, when even *one* is a design wart...
* Extended and renamed a few things which now handle undefined in addition to
null.
* Made the parts of the full code generator and the hydrogen generation which
deal with comparisons a bit more similar regarding their handling of special
cases.
* Refactored the syntactical detection of special cases for comparisons,
hopefully making them a bit more readable and less copy-n-paste-oriented.
Things like this should really be a one-liner in any sane programming
language... :-P
* Cut down the length of the argument lists of a few functions to something
less insane, making them more easily understandable locally. This involves
minor code duplication, but this was a good tradeoff and can be remedied
later if necessary.
* Replaced some boolean arguments with more readable enums.
* Fixed a TODO: Values which are definitely a Smi or unboxed can never be equal
to null or undefined.

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.

Some AST nodes (Property, Call, etc.) store either a list of receiver
types or a monomorphic receiver type. This patch merges the two fields
using a small pointer list. GetMonomorphicReceiverType() is now a
purely convenience function returning the first and only recorded
type.
This saves about 500K (of about 39M) on average when compiling V8
benchmark as measured by a simple patch adding a zone allocation
counter (https://gist.github.com/1149397).

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.

Detect the pattern in both, the full compiler and crankshaft and generate direct pointer
comparisons. Along the way I cleaned up 'typeof <expression> == <string literal>' comparisons
as well by lifting platform independent code and checking the symmetric case.

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.

Only IA32 version for now. I'll start porting.
Strict mode functions are to get 'undefined' as the receiver when
called with an implicit receiver. Modes are bad! It forces us to have
checks on all function calls.
This change attempts to limit the cost by passing information about
whether or not a call is with an implicit or explicit receiver in ecx
as part of the calling convention. The cost is setting ecx on all
calls and checking ecx on entry to strict mode functions.
Implicit/explicit receiver state has to be maintained by ICs. Various
stubs have to not clobber ecx or save and restore it.
CallFunction stub needs to check if the receiver is implicit when it
doesn't know from the context.
