Hi,

A research team instrumented JavaScriptCore in 2010 to gather empirical data about the dynamic behavior of JavaScript [1]. I am currently wondering how easy it would be to replicate their setup using the latest WebKit release.

I noticed, in the latest release, that either the JIT or the Low-level Interpreter must be enabled for the build to succeed. Does that mean that the previous interpreter is not available anymore? If it is still available, is there a way to use only the old interpreter, without the JIT or the LLInt?

Also, I would like an opinion from one of the dev guy on how easy it would be to add instrumentation code for every bytecode in the new Low-level Interpreter, given that some part of it are now written in an assembler dialect.

Thanks,

Erick
