This commit streamlines the bytecode function signatures, prologue, local variable use, scope creation, and invocation. It started out quite innocently when we noticed that we always emit __callee__ parameters for all functions even when they are not needed, but it turned out to be quite a deep rabbit hole. In the end, I identified exact conditions when functions need to have a callee parameter, when they need to receive parent scope, when they need to create their own scope, when they need to have variable arity signature, and when they need to have an "arguments" object, and made sure that callee parameters in signatures only show up when they are needed, that parent function's scope is only passed to a child function when it is needed, that the function only creates its own scope when it is needed. In crypto.js, the number of scopes dropped from 446 to 244, and the number of callees dropped from 315 to 145. Reviewed-by: jlaskey, lagergren
README:
This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
repository. A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include
the following 6 nested repositories:
"jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws" and "jaxp".
The root repository can be obtained with something like:
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 openjdk8
You can run the get_source.sh script located in the root repository to get
the other needed repositories:
cd openjdk8 && sh ./get_source.sh
People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about OpenJDK.
Simple Build Instructions:
0. Get the necessary system software/packages installed on your system, see
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
1. If you don't have a jdk7u7 or newer jdk, download and install it from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Add the /bin directory of this installation to your PATH environment
variable.
2. Configure the build:
bash ./configure
3. Build the OpenJDK:
make all
The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/images/j2sdk-image
where make is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux usually
is 3.81 or newer. Note that on Solaris, GNU make is called "gmake".
