[webkit-dev] Hash tables and unique string identifiers in JavaScriptCore

Here's an example function called by the JIT, from DFGOperations.cpp:

void DFG_OPERATION operationPutByIdNonStrict(ExecState* exec, EncodedJSValue encodedValue, JSCell* base, Identifier* propertyName)
{
    JSGlobalData* globalData = &exec->globalData();
    NativeCallFrameTracer tracer(globalData, exec);
    
    PutPropertySlot slot(false);
    base->methodTable()->put(base, exec, *propertyName, JSValue::decode(encodedValue), slot);
}
