           Summary: jsr/sret should be removed
           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


And replaced by inlining of finally blocks wherever we would have done jsr.

That makes the code easier to compile, should have no effect on performance or memory usage, and should allow us to kill off a lot of code.

Not to mention, it will preempt any bugs from OSR during execution of a finally block.  LLInt uses the virtual PC for the subroutine return, while the JIT uses the machine PC.
