    Use map transitions when defining accessor properties. · 065cc144
    svenpanne@chromium.org authored
    AccessorPairs can now contain map transitions, which is similar to our current
    handling of CONSTANT_FUNCTION/CONSTANT_TRANSITION, but generalized to a pair for
    holding info about the getter and the setter. This way we can achieve map
    sharing for objects with accessor properties, which is a prerequisite for making
    them fast via inlining. We fall back to the previous way of handling accessor
    properties when sharing is not possible or we don't handle a special case.
    
    Note: When an exisiting accessor property is redefined we could in principle
    move the AccessorPair out of the descriptor into the object itself (again just
    like the way we do something similar for CONSTANT_FUNCTION/CONSTANT_TRANSITION),
    but this would require a new property kind for holding a pair of values. Perhaps
    we can implement this later, but for now this hopefully rare case is handled
    like before, losing map sharing and potentially creating more maps than strictly
    necessary.
