     33 // Live Edit feature implementation.
     34 // User should be able to change script on already running VM. This feature
     35 // matches hot swap features in other frameworks.
     36 //
     37 // The basic use-case is when user spots some mistake in function body
     38 // from debugger and wishes to change the algorithm without restart.
     39 //
     40 // A single change always has a form of a simple replacement (in pseudo-code):
     41 //   script.source[positions, positions+length] = new_string;
     42 // Implementation first determines, which function's body includes this
     43 // change area. Then both old and new versions of script are fully compiled
     44 // in order to analyze, whether the function changed its outer scope
     45 // expectations (or number of parameters). If it didn't, function's code is
     46 // patched with a newly compiled code. If it did change, enclosing function
     47 // gets patched. All inner functions are left untouched, whatever happened
     48 // to them in a new script version. However, new version of code will
     49 // instantiate newly compiled functions.
