bmeurer ccbb4ff00f [builtins] Unify the various versions of [[Call]] with a Call builtin.
The new Call and CallFunction builtins supersede the current
CallFunctionStub (and CallIC magic) and will be the single bottleneck
for all calling, including the currently special Function.prototype.call
and Function.prototype.apply builtins, which had handwritten (and
not fully compliant) versions of CallFunctionStub, and also the
CallIC(s), which where also slightly different.

This also reduces the overhead for API function calls, which is still
unnecessary high, but let's do that step-by-step.

This also fixes a bunch of cases where the implicit ToObject for
sloppy receivers was done in the wrong context (in the caller
context instead of the callee context), which basically meant
that we allowed cross context access to %ObjectPrototype%.

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.

V8 Project page: https://code.google.com/p/v8/

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/*
