Function call cost (v5)

Revision 5 of this benchmark created on

Description

Examines the cost of a simple function call.

Setup

function foo(a, b, c) {
      if (a === "a") { // a will never be "a"
        throw "Error";
      }
    }
    
    var array = [];
    (function() {
      var index = 100;
      while (index) {
        array.push(index);
        --index;
      }
    })();
    
    var index;
