franzih 0332bebde9 Collect type profile for DevTools 
Collect type information for JavaScript variables and display it
in Chrome DevTools.
Design Doc: https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1O1uepXZXBI6IwiawTrYC3ohhiNgzkyTdjn3R8ysbYgk/edit?usp=sharing

When debugging JavaScript, it’s helpful to know the type of
a variable, parameter, and return values. JavaScript is
dynamically typed, and for complex
source code it’s often hard to infer types. With type profiling, we
can provide type information to JavaScript developers.

This CL is a proof of concept. It collects type profile for
assignments and simply prints the types to stdout.

The output looks something like this:

#my_var1
  #Object
  #number
  #string
  #number
  #undefined
  #string
  #Object
  #Object

We use an extra slot in the feedback vector of assignments to
carry the list of types for that assignment. The extra slot is
only added when the flag --type-profile is given.

Missing work:
* Collect data for parameters and return values (currently only assignments).
* Remove duplicates from the list of collected types and use a common base class.
* Add line numbers or source position instead of the variable name.

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
