1. Added gdb style debugger commands (and their shortcuts) for d8.
These include:
- s[tep] : step into the current statement.
- s[tep]i[n]: step into the current statement with the minimum step.
- n[ext] : step to the next statement.
- fin[ish] : step out of the current function.
- cond : setting conditions on breakpoints.
- d[elete] : deletes breakpoints.
- en[able]|dis[able]: enables/disables breakpoints including
exception breakpoints.
- ignore : ignores a breakpoint for a specified period.
- inf[o] ar[gs] : info on arguments of the current function.
- inf[o] lo[cals] : info on local vars of the current function.
- inf[o] br[eakpoints] : info on breakpoints.
- l[ist] : similar to source, but allows the user to continually
dump subsequent lines of source code either in the
forward or backward direction.
- quit / exit / disconnect : terminates the remote debugger
session.

NOTE: Active breakpoints will automatically be disabled when
the remote debugger detaches. This allows v8 to continue to
run without worrying about a loss of a debugger session.

2. Added support for breaking the debugger by simply typing ENTER.
The break command is now optional.

3. Once the debugger is broken, the user can now just type ENTER
to repeat the last command. This is useful to functionality that
needs to be invoked repeatedly e.g. step, list.

4. Added more verbose descriptions in d8's help.

5. Fixed a line and column number offset bug in the listing of breakpoint
line and column numbers.

6. Added a gc command to allow GCs to be requested from the debugger
interface. The plumbing for requesting different types of GCs is
there, but the underlying implementation currently only triggers a
full mark-compact GC. The command also returns the before and after
sizes of the heap.

7. Added trace json, and flags commands that are not published in help.
trace json is used for tracing the debugger packets send from and
received by d8. flags is for setting v8 flags. These are useful for
people debugging v8 itself, but not necessarily users of v8.

8. Added the ability to enable and disable break on all / uncaught
exceptions in to d8.

9. Added a fix to prevent the Debugger Agent from being re-instantiated
if one already exists.

10. Added the ability to filter results of the script command by matching
text or numbers on the results.

11. Added v8 flags to enable/disable the sending of debugger BeforeCompile,
AfterCompile, and ScriptCollected events.

12. Fixed some undefined value bugs that resulted in v8 or the debugger
failing.

13. Added a few minor WEBOS__ customizations (analogous to ANDROID
customizations).

The live registers are now only stored to the expression stack with the non pointer values being stored as smis (on the 32-bit platforms these values are assumed to be 31-bit max).

This makes the CEntryStub entry/exit code much simpler, and there is no longer any need for a mode (debug or normal) on it.

Fix a missing live register when breaking at ARM keyed load.

With the change in r4820 all return statements are now breakable like any statement, so stepping will stop before the return statement actually returning from a function. With this change the position when breaking in the function return (after executing the return statement) will be the actual end of the function. At this point the return value is available as it saved to the stack by the debug break at return handling. Added information on the actual value returned from the function to the debugger.

Added support for more precise break points when debugging and stepping. To achieve that additional nop instructions are inserted where breaking would otherwise be impossible. The number of nop instructions inserted are sufficient to make place for patching with a call to a debug break code stub. On Intel that is 5 nop's for 32-bit and 13 for 64-bit. Om ARM 3 nop instructions (12 bytes) are required.

In order to avoid inserting nop's in to many places a simple ast checker have been added to check whether there are breakable code in a statement or expression. If it is possible to break in an expression no additional break enabeling code is inserted.

Added break locations to the true and false part of a conditional expression.

Added stepping tests to cover more constructs.

These changes are only in the full compiler.

Changed the default value for the option --debugger in teh d8 shell from true to false. The reason for this is that with --debugger turned on the full compiler will be used for all code in when running d8, which can be unexpeceted.

Provide debug event listener with access to the debuggee context. Also introduce new event listener setter that allows to set a callback that accepts single parameter encapsulating all debug event details so that additional information can later be passed to the listener without breaking compatibility with existing clients.

The full compiler will now be used for all code compiler when debugging is active. As the code generated by the full compiler is much simpler it will be easier to make debugging work better when using that code.

To ensure that all code debugged is from the full compiler all functions will have to be recompiled when starting debugging. Initialing debugging already turns off the code cache.

Support stepping out for recursive functions.Simply flooding JS function from the calling stack frame with one shot breakpoints is not enough to support step out action in all cases since the function on top of the stack may be turn recursive and we may end up flooding itself. To overcome this a pointer to the stack frame where the debugger should be invoked after stepping out is strored in the debugger.Chromium bug:http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17967

Support stepping in functions called using CallFunction stub. When Debug::PrepareStep is called to prepare 'step in' and current code target is CallFunction stub, the debugger will find function being called on the expression stack and flood it with one shot breakpoints.

BreakLocationIterator changed to treat 'debugger;' statements as a possible break location. Since 'debugger;' statement should always invoke debugger it is hanled in a special way.
