This test has started to flakily fail on multiple bots, presumably due to http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/181993

OK, looking at it now.

Turns out to be a pretty bad bug.  PreciseLocalClobberize's readTop() method is totally wrong for accesses to "escaped" arguments.  There are a handful of ways to fix this and I'll investigate.  Here's a version of the test that crashes every time:


function foo() {
    return arguments;
}

function bar(a, b, c, i) {
    var a = foo(b, c, 42);
    return a[i];
}

noInline(bar);

var expected = [2, 3, 42];
for (var i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
    var result = bar(1, 2, 3, i % 3);
    if (result != expected[i % 3])
        throw "Error: bad result: " + result;
}

Same bug, involving ForwardVarargs:

function foo() {
    return arguments;
}

function baz(a, b, c) {
    return a + b + c;
}

function bar(a, b, c) {
    var args = foo(b, c, 42);
    return baz.apply(void 0, args);
}

noInline(bar);

for (var i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
    var result = bar(1, 2, 3);
    if (result != 47)
        throw "Error: bad result: " + result;
}
