inline allocation code used the expected number of properties to
calculate the number of inobject properties for an object instead of
getting the actual number from the initial map.
It is safer to use the inobject property count from the initial map in
any case because that is the amount the instances will get. I think
this disconnect got introduced when adding shrinking of objects.
Unfortuntely I haven't been able to create a simple reproduction for a
test case but this fixes the webpage that exhibits the crash. I'll see
if I can create a reproduction tomorrow.

This allows to remove explicit copy from line ends JS accessor which is used for formatting of stack traces.
Eager copying of line ends array might cause multiple full GC collections for huge scripts (e.g. scripts generated by GWT compiler with PRETY preset).

The problem is other array may have holes, for example
when fixed array comes from JSArray (in case of named interceptor).
If that would prove to be a performance problem, we could
pass an additional argument into UnionOfKeys to hold actual length.

The plan is to use the CompilationInfo class to communicate inputs and
outputs to compilation pipeline phases, which each return a boolean
success/failure flag.
The intent is to make it easier to compose small pieces of the
pipeline without having to grow a custom function each time, each
taking a half dozen arguments.
This change modifies the very front end (the parser).

The current parameters (initial slack = 6, kGenerousAllocationsCount = 16)
caused 15-20% performance regression on 3d-raytrace on x64
(visible both in standalone shell and in the web harness). This is very
likely some kind of an alignment problem (it goes away completely with --prof).
A similar problem can be observed on ia32 with initial slack=2.
Increased initial slack to 8 and decreased constructions count to 8.
This made the regression go away (and did not harm any of the other tests).

It was a wart that we had three handle fields, exactly one of which
was non-null; and that we had three overloaded constructors. Instead,
introduce subclasses and virtual methods.

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.

This changes a number of places where code objects are assigned to
SharedFunctionInfo objects to also assign this code object to the
JSFunction. In addition, the code flushing is changed slightly to
accomodate this (we need to flush the code from functions pointing to
SharedFunctionInfo objects that has already been flushed).

Currently one can only define accessors on object templates. This patch
allows to create accessors on the fly.
These accessors could control access to elements as well. This element
support is somewhat rudimentary and may require future work (for example,
we probably don't want to convert index into a string.)

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.)

Storing a JSArray in the Script object could cause an indirect reference from the compilation cache to a global object to be created. Now the line ends are only stored as a FixedArrya and when that is needed in JavaScript a JSArray copy is created. Changed some of the JavaScript code to cache the line ends in a local variable for better performance.

specification under development. The optimizations are patterned after
those previously done for CanvasPixelArray. This CL adds all of the
necessary framework but continues to use the generic KeyedLoadIC and
KeyedStoreIC code, to create a baseline for benchmarking purposes. The
next CL will add the optimized ICs to ic-ia32.cc and ic-x64.cc.
These new CanvasArray types have different semantics than
CanvasPixelArray; out-of-range values are clamped via C cast
semantics, which is cheaper than the clamping behavior specified by
CanvasPixelArray. Out-of-range indices raise exceptions instead of
being silently ignored.
As part of this work, pulled FloatingPointHelper::AllocateHeapNumber
up to MacroAssembler on ia32 and x64 platforms. Slightly refactored
KeyedLoadIC and KeyedStoreIC. Fixed encoding for fistp_d on x64 and
added a few more instructions that are needed for the new ICs. The
test cases in test-api.cc have been verified by hand to exercise all
of the generated code paths in the forthcoming specialized ICs.

Allocate the code stubs dictionary and non monomorphic cache dictionary with an initial size which avoids these dictionaries to be expanded during bootstrapping. This gets rid of 9 dictionary expansions during bootstrapping.
Preallocate the dictionary when normalizing an object to a size sufficient for holding the number of properties which is expected to be added to the object. This is used when ceating an object from an object literal boilerplate where multiple properties are known to be added. This gets rid of 10 dictionary expansions during bootstrapping.
There are now 3 dictionary expansions left during bootstrapping.

This issue was raised by Brett Wilson while reviewing my changelist for readability. Craig Silverstein (one of C++ SG maintainers) confirmed that we should declare one namespace per line.

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.

This can lead to large objects which wastes a lot of space if we normalize properties. We therfore clear the inobject properties when normalizing properties. This is done by adjusting the instance size in the new map and overwriting the inobject properties with a filler.

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.
