The debugger agent listens on a TCP/IP port for a remote debugger connection. When such a connection is established the debuger JSON protocol is communicated between the agent the the remote debugger. The messages containing the JSON protocol has a RFC-822 like header with a Content-Length field and with the body containing the JSON in UTF-8 encoding.
The D8 shell has option --debugger-agent to start the debugger agent.

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.

Added a number of handle scopes to the debugger code to keep handles local to the function using them.
Fixed SetDebugEventListener to actually unregister when passed a NULL pointer. Previously this NULL pointer was wrapped in a Proxy.

The debugger compile events (BeforeCompile and AfterCompile) have not been used by any V8 debuggers lately and where actually not working any more. Added the correct information to the compile event.
Added a simple 'trace compile' command to the developer shell for testing.
Added a test for compile evnets.

Moved the registrered debug event listener from the context to a global handle in the Debugger class. Storing it in the context did not make much sense.
Changed a lot of tests to handle the API change.

it is assigned a numeric handle. Handles are used to make a 1:1
correspondence between objects and mirrors. Currently the mirrors are
cached in a JavaScript array and when creating a mirror this cache is
checked to see if a mirror already exists for the object. This cache is
cleared when leaving the debugger.
Changed the serialization format to take advantage of these handles. When
an object is serialized referenced objects are represented just by their
handle id serialized as '{ref:<handle>}'. During serialization the
referenced handles are collected and the serializer can provide a
serialization of all the referenced objects.
Removed the special handling of array properties. Indexed properties and
the length property are now rendered as named properties in the
serialization.
Removed the special serialization handling of RegExp properties. The
properties 'source', 'global', 'ignoreCase' and 'multiline' are serialized
with the rest of the properties.
Changed a lot of tests to handle the changed format.

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.

upper case. Moved it into the RelocInfo class together with the associated
is_xxx functions. Renamed is_xxx to IsXxx in the process.
Removed the exit_js_frame mode as it was no longer used.
Patch Set 2 renames RELOC_MODE_COUNT to NUMBER_OF_MODES and fixes a couple of lint errors.

while V8 is running.
A debugger using the V8 message based interface now needs to control the
call to DebugBreak in order for the messages send to be processed. Commands can
still be send when V8 is not in a break, but they will not be processed until
there is a break. The response "request queued" when queuing up messages have
been removed. This gets rid of a non JSON message being used.
Modified the threaded debugger tests to call DebugBreak instead of relying
on it occouring automatically.
This change will not be committed until the outstanding Chrome change
http://chrome-reviews.prom.corp.google.com/2072 (which updates Chrome to control
the DebugBreak call) have been reviewed and committed.

Fixed the handling of '>' and '<=' to use right-to-left conversion and left-to-right evaluation as specified by ECMA-262.
Fixed a branch elimination bug on the ARM platform where incorrect code was generated because of overly aggressive branch elimination.
Improved performance of code that repeatedly assigns the same function to the same property of different objects with the same map.
Untangled DEBUG and ENABLE_DISASSEMBLER defines. The disassembler no longer expects DEBUG to be defined.
Added platform-nullos.cc to serve as the basis for new platform implementations.
git-svn-id: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@9 ce2b1a6d-e550-0410-aec6-3dcde31c8c00
Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8.
Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string.
Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made serialization non-destructive.
Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved registers (removed).
Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage collection and the code for allocating objects in paged spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap-allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects.
Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events.
Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a function is enumerable.
Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in generated code.
Merged disassembler-{arch} files.

non-tagged value in register eax was pushed to the stack.
Fixed potential quadratic behavior when converting strings to numbers.
Fixed bug where the return value from Object::SetProperty could end up
being the property holder instead of the written value.
Improved debugger support by allowing nested break points and by
dealing with stack-overflows when compiling functions before setting
break points in them.
