jarin 106aecf262 [turbofan] Redundant branch elimination.
Removes a branch that checks for a condition that has been checked on dominators of the branch.

This introduces a new reducer that propagates the list of checked conditions (and their boolean values) through the control flow graph. If it encounters a branch checking a condition with a known value, the branch is eliminated.

The analysis relies on loops being reducible: if a condition has been checked on all paths to loop entry, then it is checked in the loop (regardless what of the conditions checked inside the loop).

The implementation is fairly naive and could be improved:

- all the operation on the condition lists could be made allocation-free when revisited.

- we could try to use a map structure rather than a linked list (to make
lookups faster).

- the merging of control flow could be changed to take into account
  conditions from non-dominating paths (as long as all paths check
  the condition).

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/*
