This is necessary to move NewArray to CodeGenerator.cpp, as well as other incoming opcode implementations like GETPROP and bhackett's GETPROP ICs.

What's the significance of choosing ~Volatile here?

visitNewArray and visitLoadPropertyGeneric should be in CodeGenerator, rather than CodeGenerator-shared. CG-shared is intended for helper functions that are usable across all architectures, whereas CG is the "frontend".

Newline above DEBUG (though I think it looks nicer without the DEBUG).

Ditto.

Please rename this to "callWithDescriptor"

On ARM, Volatile registers are registers used for arguments using the same set of registers as setABIArg cause issues in the MoveEmitter.

I would have prefered to use Volatile registers here to later be able to keep non-GC values into registers across calls, but we will see when we implement such optimization.

pushedArgs_ is only used in a JS_ASSERT in callVM function.  So I don't see any need to keep it updating it if it is never used in optimized builds.

Unfortunately not.  The reason is that ARM may end-up having different frame layout for the exit frame and other JS frames.

What I can do is callIonFrame(FrameType current, FrameType called)

to be consistent with the ARM implementation which does not have an equivalent of

masm.movl(Operand(…), reg).

and we don't have Address(offset) constructor.

Okay, "callWithExitFrame" then.
