I saw this patch was rolled out, and I decided to help you a little. v8-crypto goes into an infinite loop because of the following expression:

var a = new Array()
a[0] = 1
print(a.length)

It is "0" with this patch, and "1" after the patch was rolled out. I think the append does not happen, but I need some further investigation.

[Zoltan Herczeg]

emit_op_put_by_val:
 addSlowCase(branch32(AboveOrEqual, regT2, Address(regT0, OBJECT_OFFSETOF(JSArray, m_vectorLength))));

0xb791027f:     cmp    0x30(%eax),%ecx
(gdb) x $eax+0x30
0xb78c2ff0:     0x00000003
(gdb) x $ecx
0x0:    Cannot access memory at address 0x0

eax points to the array, and its length is 3, instead of 0. Thus the append is "successful".

Forget about my previous comment, the initialCapacity is 3, so that is ok.

However, the vector clear loop in JSArray constructor:

JSArray::JSArray(JSGlobalData& globalData, NonNullPassRefPtr<Structure> structure, const ArgList& list)

    for (; i < initialStorage; i++)
        vector[i].clear();

was set the values to EmptyValueTag, but when this patch is applied, it set to 0 by WriteBarrier.h:78 void clear() { m_value = 0; }

Zero is not even a valid JSValue32_64 tag, so this is totally wrong.

[Zoltan Herczeg]

was:
WriteBarrier.h:122 void clear() { m_value = JSValue::encode(JSValue()); }
  which is: JSValue.h:403 u.asBits.tag = EmptyValueTag;

now:
WriteBarrier.h:78 void clear() { m_value = 0; }

I'll try:
WriteBarrier.h:78 void clear() { m_value = JSValue::encode(JSValue()); }

Note that this patch was landed in r78856 and rolled out in r78945 (see bug 54705).

[Zoltan Herczeg]

I know :) But the patch is not necessary wrong, maybe just there is small bug in it.

Unfortunately this is not working when T is JSCell:

WriteBarrier.h:78 void clear() { m_value = JSValue::encode(JSValue()); }
