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.

Marsaglia's multiply-with-carry instead of mixing the
bits obtained from calling the system random() twice.
This seems to be a bit faster and gives a better
distribution than the system random() in particular on
Windows.

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.

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.

The debug message thread was introduced to make it possible to have the message handler callback be called from a different thread than the thread running V8 where the debug event occoured, but it never had any practical use, and prevents providing information to the message handler which is only available from the V8 thread.
In the future any thread decoupling will have do be done by the embedder.
This also removes the queue used for outbound messages.
Renamed the class Message to CommandMessage as it is only used for debugger commands from the client. Related message queue classes has also been renamed.

ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT is enabled by default unless it is on Android platform.
On Android platform, it can also enabled by passing -DENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT flag to the compiler.
This should not affect any existing build (I hope, cross my fingers) except the build in real Android environment (in other word, it only affects me now).
There are lot of room for code refactoring in stead of using #ifdef all over the place. I will leave this to v8 folks.

V8's heap or only need read access.
This means that IsDeadCeck and EnsureInitialized could sometimes be
called without having already entered the VM. To simplify things,
this is made always the case. A couple of error callbacks do not need
to leave V8 because they haven't entered.
Consistently enter V8 after LOG_API (since LOG_API is sometimes before
EnsureInitialized or IsDeadCheck).
This all should have no effect unless V8 is built with
ENABLE_HEAP_PROTECTION and run with --protect-heap.
