Before, they had no extra slots and an extension object with one named
property. Now, they use the extension slot for the property name and have
an extra slot for the thrown object. This increases the size of the context
itself, but removes overall allocation and eliminates a level of indirection.

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.

The static ScopeInfo members moved into this class.
The new class is named ScopeInfoObject which I am not proud of,
better ideas are very welcome.
Also got rid of the sentinels in the serialized scope info which saves 3 words per function
and is not slower.

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. Our way of namespaces closing seems not violating style guides (there is no clear agreement on it), so I left it intact.

surrounding context to figure out if the variable could be global. If
the variable could be global we check context extension objects at
runtime and use a global LoadIC if no variables have been introduced
by eval.
Fix crash bug when loading function arguments from inside eval. The
shadowed variable in the DYNAMIC_LOCAL case does not rewrite to a slot in
that case.

introduced by eval.
In the cases where calls to eval have not introduced any variables, we
do not need to perform a runtime call. Instead, we verify that the
context extension objects have not been created and perform a direct
load.
Not implemented for ARM yet and the scope resolution code could use
some better abstractions. I'd like to do that in a separate
changelist.

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.
