Can we get a crashtrace and platform?

Is it not possible to write an automated regression test for this?

[Geoffrey Garen]

Seems like it should be possible. If possible, all checkins should come with a regression test.

Sorry for not noting this in the ChangeLog, but there is no obvious automated regression test.  The bug arises out of misuse of a hidden "this" argument to constructor calls.  This is a synthetic notion introduced in our bytecode and our JITs - it is not exposed in the JavaScript language.

As well, the bug only happens when three different register allocators in the system (the bytecompiler's virtual register allocator, the DFG parser's virtual register allocator, and the DFG back-end's physical register allocator) all make exactly the "wrong" decision based on the input.  A test that would cause a failure just before this fix landed would be unlikely to continue to cause failures if even slight changes in register allocation were made subsequently.
