94879a93b0 Add a script cache to the debugger
When loaded scripts are requested this cache is filled with all the script objects in the heap. Hereafter its content is kept in sync with the active scripts in the heap through the notifications of new scripts compiled and by using weak handles to get notified when a script is collected.

Through the tracking of collected scripts the debugger event OnScriptCollected have been added to notify a debugger that a script previously returned through the scripts command is no longer in use.

Make the ComputeIntegerHash globally available.

Moved clearing of the mirror cache to when debugger is really left. Previously recursive invocations of the debugger cause the mirror cache to be cleared causing handles to become either stale or reference other objects.

bf63b8f173 Introduce internal Log class that handles writing log messages, enable logging to memory buffer.
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.

95288e916e Changed the debugger message API to receive an object instead of a JSON string.
The object delivered to the debug message handler contains additional information on the current break handling the messages.

Clients which require just JSON message parsing can simply get the JSON using the GetJSON message on the message object to still have the previous behaviour.

  NewMessageHangler(const v8::Debug::Message& message) {
    v8::String::Value val(message.GetJSON());
    OldMessageHandler(Vector<uint16_t>(const_cast<uint16_t*>(*val), val.length()));
  }

Refactored some of the debugger code to use internal handles instead of API handles. Also changed Object to JSObject is some places.

The access to the active context when the break occurred is still not implemented. I will add this in a new CL, as this one is quite big already.

8fefc769f5 Removed the debug message thread.
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.

8b7a288e48 Debugger message handler can be called from V8 thread.
The message handler function set through the debugger API is normally called in a different thread than the V8 thread where execution is stopped due to debugger event. This change adds an option to the API for specifying that the message handler should be called directly from the V8 thread. For an application like Chrome where thread dispatching is already in place this makes more sense.

Add an option to the message handler debugger API to process messages in the thread where V8 is running instead of posting it to a queue for processing on a additional thread.

9d17b0d4c8 Whenever a script object is created it is assigned a unique id. Currently this id is assigned from an 32 bit integer counter.
Changed the script break points to be able to handle both break points based on script names and script ids. When break points are set through a script id the position is relative to the script itself. This is different from the script break points set through script names where the line/coulmn offset is taken into account.

This has the side effect that function break points are not converted into script break points for named scripts.

Show the script id in the D8 shell debugger when listing all scripts using the 'scripts' command.

Add the ability to have the host embedding V8 receive a callback in the V8 thread while V8 is processing a debug callback. When V8 is processing a debug callback the thread where V8 is executing is sitting in a tight loop processing debug commands until the continue command has been executed. In some embedding situations it is beneficial to be able to call back into the embedding host from the thread where V8 is sitting. The might have functions which needs to be called to complement the JavaScript debugging.

Using the uint16_t array to pass a void* is a temporary hack.

6297a19160 Improve mark-compact object grouping interface.
The main goal was to improve O(n^2) behavior when there are many object groups.  The old API required the grouping to be done on the v8 side, along with a linear search.  The new interface requires the caller to do the grouping, passing V8 entire groups at a time.  This removes the group id concept on the v8 side.

  - Changed AddObjectToGroup to AddObjectGroup.
  - Removed the group id concept from the V8 side.
  - Remove a static constructor while I'm here, lazily initialize
    the object groups list.
  - Cleaned up return by non-const references to return pointers.

96d15ef6b4 Add experimental support for external two-byte symbols.
This might be a big win in a browser setting where a lot of string
conversions can be avoided.  On the other hand it adds extra pressure
on the global handle system.

42ef2c3d77 Split window support from V8.
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.

4d95ac7339 Added option for TryCatches to not capture the message object on
exceptions.

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.
