Object model changes ---------------------------------------- New fixed_cow_array_map is used for the elements array of a JSObject to mark it as COW. The JSObject's map and other fields are not affected. The JSObject's map still has the "fast elements" bit set. It means we can do only the receiver map check in keyed loads and the receiver and the elements map checks in keyed stores. So introducing COW arrays doesn't hurt performance of these operations. But note that the elements map check is necessary in all mutating operations because the "has fast elements" bit now means "has fast elements for reading". EnsureWritableFastElements can be used in runtime functions to perform the necessary lazy copying. Generated code changes ---------------------------------------- Generic keyed load is updated to only do the receiver map check (this could have been done earlier). FastCloneShallowArrayStub now has two modes: clone elements and use COW elements. AssertFastElements macro is added to check the elements when necessary. The custom call IC generators for Array.prototype.{push,pop} are updated to avoid going to the slow case (and patching the IC) when calling the builtin should work. COW enablement ---------------------------------------- Currently we only put shallow and simple literal arrays in the COW mode. This is done by the parser.
