This is very interesting

Since it touches JSC's runtime. Could you please check SunSpider to ensure there are no regressions? Better safe than getting yelled at ;)

review- because patch doesn’t build and so needs some additional work; probably should review a version that does build

> Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/NumberPrototype.cpp:388
> +    WTF::NumberToStringBuffer buffer;

The WTF:: prefix should not be needed here.

> Source/WTF/wtf/dtoa.h:47
> -WTF_EXPORT_PRIVATE const char* numberToString(double, NumberToStringBuffer);
> -WTF_EXPORT_PRIVATE const char* numberToFixedPrecisionString(double, unsigned significantFigures, NumberToStringBuffer, bool truncateTrailingZeros = false);
> -WTF_EXPORT_PRIVATE const char* numberToFixedWidthString(double, unsigned decimalPlaces, NumberToStringBuffer);
> +WTF_EXPORT_PRIVATE int numberToString(double, NumberToStringBuffer);
> +WTF_EXPORT_PRIVATE int numberToFixedPrecisionString(double, unsigned significantFigures, NumberToStringBuffer, bool truncateTrailingZeros = false);
> +WTF_EXPORT_PRIVATE int numberToFixedWidthString(double, unsigned decimalPlaces, NumberToStringBuffer);

This return value is a lot less self-explanatory than the old one. We probably need a comment or some other form of explanation. Perhaps this should even be an out argument instead of a return value for clarity.
