what you _could_ do, is instrument the code by parsing and inserting additional calls. with this technique you can add counters that make it safe to run untrusted code.
so you can prevent things like: while (true); which would loop forever. you could also use this technique to abort any io operation, and to clearTimeout etc. of course, most people are not crazy enough to pull something like this off. you need to be a bit of a mad scientist. like substack! https://github.com/substack/node-falafel https://github.com/substack/node-stackedy On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 3:18 AM, mgutz <mario.l.gutier...@gmail.com> wrote: > In our case, our xml builder like templates are javascript modules loaded > via require.
