Using references matches the C++ coding style better and should improve
performance a bit in theory. It avoids 2 copies of T in case of the
functions registered with RegisterFunction (mainy used in the GUI). It
should also avoid one or two copies in case of
DEFINE_INTERFACE_METHOD_X, which is used in the simulation, but I
haven't bothered to count it there exactly.
It is now predefined which types have to be passed by const reference
and which are passed by value. Note that references can't be used as
out-parameters (to return multiple values to JS). This hasn't worked
before either and probably never will.
This was SVN commit r17696.
Also make the GetPassabilityClasses functions use references instead of
wild allocations. Use a reference when passing pass classes to the AI
worker.
This was SVN commit r16833.
This upgrade also introduces exact stack rooting (see to the wiki:
JSRootingGuide) and fixes problems with moving GC. This allows us to
enable generational garbage collection (GGC).
Measurements a few months ago have shown a performance improvement of a
non-visual replay of around 13.5%. This probably varies quite a bit, but
it should be somewhere between 5-20%. Memory usage has also been
improved. Check the forum thread for details.
Thanks to everyone from the team who helped with this directly or
indirectly (review, finding and fixing issues, the required C++11
upgrade, the new autobuilder etc.)! Also thanks to the SpiderMonkey
developers who helped on the #jsapi channel or elsewhere!

This was SVN commit r16214.
Everything is char* now, so we don't need to mess around with different
string types.
Done with:
ag -ls 'LOG(MESSAGE|MESSAGERENDER|WARNING|ERROR)' source | xargs perl
-pi -e'1 while
s/(LOG(MESSAGE|MESSAGERENDER|WARNING|ERROR).*)%[hl]s/$1%s/g'

I had to change a few other functions to take JS::MutableHandleValue
because JS::Stringify takes a JS::MutableHandleValue as input parameter.
That seems a bit strange because it should not change that value.
I assume it has historical reasons.

It might actually be needed again in the future, but I think even then
it would be easier to rewrite it than having to update the code in the
meantime.
Refs #2462
This was SVN commit r15600.
Changes CallFunction and CallFunctionVoid to use a HandleValue as object
parameter. Also changes some JS serialization/deserialization functions
to only support the JSAPI rooted types (drop support for CScriptVal and
CScriptValRooted there). Some other functions got changed too because
they were closely related.
Refs #2415
Refs #2462
This was SVN commit r15592.
Changes GetProperty, SetProperty and HasProperty and a few other
functions to take handles. The conversions to CScriptVal or
CScriptValRooted at some places should be removed in the future. I've
done that to avoid an even larger patch.

This was SVN commit r15568.
JS::MutableHandleValue is similar to JS::HandleValue, but the whole
JS::Value it points to can be replaced.
This change is needed for support of exact stack rooting and moving GC.
Contains a few other trivial API adjustments and style improvements too.

This commit contains all the required changes to our source files and
build scripts (hopefully).
A next commit will remove the old stuff of SpiderMonkey 1.8.5.
Spcial thanks to:
- H4writer who helped a lot mainly with the performance issues we
had/have, but also with other problems or questions.
- Leper for the review.
- Historic_bruno for implementing the build scripts on Mac OS X and
testing on the Mac.
- The people from the #jsapi channel and from
mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine who answered a lot of questions and helped
solving problems.

This was SVN commit r14877.
Each GUI Page gets its own compartment and all ScriptInterfaces in the
same thread should now use the same JS Runtime.
This is required for the SpiderMonkey upgrade.
Check the ticket for details.

This was SVN commit r14496.
This avoids wrapping overhead that would otherwise be required because
multiple globals per compartment aren't supported anymore in newer
versions of SpiderMonkey.
Check the ticket for a detailed explanation.

This was SVN commit r14441.
Add CEntityHandle which wraps an entity_id_t and also has a pointer to a
per-entity array of IComponents. QueryInterface/CmpPtr on a handle just
involve a couple of pointer dereferences instead of a map lookup.
This requires sizeof(void*) per registered interface type per entity,
which is currently ~0.5KB per entity, which shouldn't be a problem.
This was SVN commit r13825.
