Steinar H. Gunderson 6da6e45099 Microoptimizations in FastDtoa.
Optimize FastDtoa, in particular Grisu3. In addition to making
a microbenchmark, there are a number of smaller and larger
changes here:

 - Replace divisions by power-of-ten with multiplications by
   their inverses, using an algorithm very similar to the one
   in libdivide.
 - For DiyFp::Times(), use 128-bit hardware multiplication
   if available (which it generally is on 64-bit platforms).
 - Where possible, send around a pointer to the end of the string,
   instead of a pointer and a length, reducing register pressure
   (especially for Intel). Where not (easily) possible, add
   a local variable to make the compiler understand that length
   and decimal_point cannot alias.
 - Change some ints to unsigneds where it helps us avoid sign
   extensions.
 - Some minor changes to reduce instruction dependency chains.
 - Inline BiggestPowerTen().

Actual performance gain is wildly different between platforms.
On my 3990X workstation (Zen 2), gains are about 21%. On a M1
Mac Mini, they are about 17%. But on my i7-10610U laptop
(Comet Lake, so Skylake microarchitecture), the function is
78% faster. This is probably because large divisions
(divisor over 255) seem to hurt a lot on Skylake, but I haven't
gone through it in detail.

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/*
