It is now possible to experiment with profiler guided optimizations when building V8. First build an instrumented sample shell:

  > scons pgo=instrument sample=shell

Then run the JavaScript code to optimize for using that sample shell. Finally build an optimized sample shell.

  > scons pgo=optimize sample=shell

Currently this does not work when building V8 as a DLL due to scons deleting v8.exp prior to the pgo=optimize step.

Due to a bug in Visual Studio (seen in version 2008) the function MessageDispatchHelperThread::Run() in debug.cc needs to be empty for this to work.

These two asserts in ComputeEntryFrame are wrong since the
virtual frame already knows how to deal with the number type
information of copy elements: We do not store type 
information with copy elements. Instead the backing element
contains the type information.

Change the implementation of lastIndexOf method of String. Convert the
strings in question to Vector<char> or Vector<uc16> and execute simple
search algorithm on them.

The difference in speed on 500k character string is about 10x.

A list of bailout descriptions is kept in the CompilationInfo
structure that is shared between the primary and secondary code
generators.  The primary adds a description to the list for each
bailout position.

Responsibility for binding labels is moved from the primary to the
secondary code generator. All the labels still target the start of the
secondary code and the compilation state of the primary is still
ignored.

Move the compilation mode flag to the CompilationInfo.

Although algorithmically correct, the compiler would not allow to instantiate
a BitField that uses all 32 bits without warnings about a too large shift
count. As a consequence we were limited to 31 bit values when using BitField.

This happened when instantiating a bitfield BitField<T, shift, size> with 
[shift=0, size=32] or [shift=31, size=1] or more general any 
[shift=X, size=32-X]

As side-effect of the new implementation the compiler now warns if we ever
try instantiating a bitfield with size 0.

Add a (currently) syntactic predicate to AST expression nodes telling
whether they are 'trivial'.  Trivial expressions have no side effects,
do not require storage to be allocated for them, and can be evaluated
out of order (because their value does not change between when they
are visited by the code generator as expressions in the AST and when
it is consumed).

Mark 'this' and literals as trivial.  Allow them to be pushed on the
virtual frame.  Make use of them to push 'this' more lazily in this
property assignments.

This change allows to associate integer tags with blocks of profiler
log events, and repeat calls to 'ResumeProfiler' / 'PauseProfiler' in
order to establsh nested (not necessary properly nested) blocks. By
supporting this, we will be able to match WebInspector's CPU profiler
abilities in DevTools.

I also refactored some testing code.
