DFG JIT does not implement prototype chain or list caching for get_by_id

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Filip Pizlo]

The JSC JIT supports caching of prototype lists (if a get_by_id access may hit one of several prototypes) and chains (if a get_by_id access may hit a prototype at any depth in the prototype chain), as well as prototype chain lists (if a get_by_id access may hit one of several prototypes at varying depths in the prototype chain).  The DFG JIT supports prototype caching only, but should support prototype lists, chains, and chain lists to ensure good performance.

Sorry, just one minor style nit.

Please lose the { } here.

Ah, right.  Thanks for catching that.  Will fix that.

This patch subsumes https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64077, in that the implementation of prototype chain and list caching involved redoing prototype caching.  I did it this way to make prototype caching, prototype chain caching, prototype list caching, and prototype list chain caching.
