With the current API the embedder has to extrenalize a string each
time a string is encountered to avoid the cost of repeated character
copying/conversion. The issue here is that the externalization cost
itself is non-negligible (both in time and space) and should not be
paid for a rarely used string. This change is an attempt to predict a
string's usage frequency based on its freshness. A string is
considered fresh if it was recently allocated in the new space.

For scripts originating from a call to eval the Script object used to hold a reference to the function from where the eval was called together with the code offset within that function of the eval call. This is used by the stack trace and is part of the debugger protocol. In order to avoid storing the function the script, the position within the script and the name of the function calling eval is stored instead. This avoids holding context dependent objects in the script object.
The calculation of the position of the eval in the script holding the eval is now done when the eval script is compiled as it is not possible to postpone this unless a reference is kept to the generated code for the function calling eval.

The different length string types was used to encode the string length and the hash in one field. This is now split into two fields one for length and one for hash. The hash field still encodes the array index of the string if it has one. If an array index is encoded in the hash field the string length is added to the top bits of the hash field to avoid a hash value of zero.
On 32-bit this causes an additional 4 bytes to be used for all string objects. On 64-bit this will be half on average dur to pointer alignment.

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.

NPN_Construct allows a NPObject to be called as a construct. For example, the
test case
var s = new app.Packages.java.lang.Integer(5);
app.Packages.java.lang.Integer is a NPObject, and it implements NPN_Construct.
This fix allows a JSObject created by an API function be called as a construct
if it can be called
as a function. This is done by generating the same code for
var s = new app.Packages.java.lang.Integer(5); as
var s = app.Packages.java.lang.Integer(5);
and the caller handles both case correctly. A more sophiscated fix is to one
extra JSConstructCall
frame and allow CallAsConstructor in Builtin::HandleApiCallAsFunction.
This change itself shouldn't affect the semantic of normal case such as:
var a = {};
var s = new a();
A TypeError exception will be thrown in CALL_NON_FUNCTION (runtime.js).
Another part of fix is in the binding code, V8NPObject, which makes
NPN_InvokeDefault or NPN_Construct
call depending on which function is available.

Fix exception propagation problem where undefined was returned instead
of an empty handle in case of an exception. This problem can break
C++ programs that are not interested in catching exceptions and just
want to propagate them out by testing for empty handles.
The issue is that exceptions are not rescheduled if they are
externally caught. Externally caught exceptions have to be
rescheduled if there is a JavaScript frame on the way to the C++ frame
that holds the external handler.

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.

it for scripts too. In the context of Chromium, this should
have a very positive impact on memory consumption for web apps
that run multiple tabs from the same domain with a lot of the
same JavaScript code.
For now, the cache retirement policy is really simple:
Whenever a mark-sweep collection is started we clear the
cache. This guarantees that this change will not have a
huge negative impact on memory consumption, but it may
not be ideal. We should consider a more sophisticated LRU
scheme.

It turned out that the stack overflow fix from before had disabled
message storing in another test. Previously, stack overflows would
actually cause a message object to start being created but cause
another exception which would not be reported and that's what stopped
the infinite regress. This change resores that behavior.
