           Summary: DFG speculative JIT sometimes asserts that a value is
                    not a number even when it doesn't know anything about
                    the number
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: fpizlo at apple.com


The DFG speculative JIT makes use of the isKnownNotNumber() method, which returns true if the GenerationInfo reports that the value is neither an integer nor a double.  But that means that it will return true if the GenerationInfo is either DataFormatNone or DataFormatJS, which means that we actually know nothing about the value.  This results in poor speculations on ValueAdd in release builds, and assertion falues in debug builds.
