Corrected.

I've added an inheritance based mechanism to measure the cell size and the
object property map size, which includes this case as well.
Please see the modified implementation of JSCell::instanceSize and
JSObject::instanceSize.

Fixed. See above.

I've decided to rely on JSWrapperObject for the size calculation and removed
this implementation. NumberObject adds nothing more to size.

Removed. Relying on JSWrapperObject.

Removed comment. Render area size is not a relevant mesurement.

Was already done, but forgot to remove comment.

I've changed the implementation of this function, as per the comment below.

Thanks for pointing that out.
I've looked around and I think you're referring to
JSObjectRef::JSObjectMakeArray. It would do the job better, but the data
parameter is a JSValueRef array. I would have to iterate over the vector data
to create a new array to pass in. This is inefficient as JSObjectMakeArray does
this again inside (twice).
In light of the above, I've taken the JSObjectMakeArray code and replaced what
I did before.

I've added this API as a temporary solution until the functionality is hooked
into the UI. The current console API does not allow enabling and disabling
profiling from the console. An API only for enabling memory profiling would be
out of place. A function to do this should be added to the layoutTestController
object though.

Oliver Hunt points out in a comment above that:

Is there some statistic on this?

This is the reason I've made a switch to enable or disable memory profiling.
However, the memory profiler at this stage relies on performance profiling for
collecting object allocation traces.

Additional changes:
- the m_liveObjects member of Profile dies along with the Profile, so I've made
it into an OwnPtr. The LiveObject class no longer needs to extend RefCounted.
- removed the typedefs for iterator and const_iterator and the functions
mapping the HashMap begin and end to LiveObject begin and end. They weren't
really necessary.
- renamed flushLiveObjects to finalizeCollectedData
