Hi, all! When i create/set up a new JS class (e.g. a Function/ctor object), can i then add *that instance* of the ctor to objects from any context, or is *that* instance of the ctor only usable in the Context under which it was constructed?
Background: i've found that when wrapping classes, the classes are difficult to "reach" from external code which doesn't have access to the actual native wrappings. i would like to provide shared instances of my wrappers so that external code (e.g. plugins) can get native- side access to those wrappers. The primary reason for this is so that i can pass arguments around between various plugins which have knowledge of the base native types but no direct knowledge of the actual bindings code. This is probably best explained with an example: Let's say we've got PluginOne which has this function: function doSomethingOne( OneType ); Now we have PluginTwo with: function doSomethingTwo( TwoType ); i would like to be able to do, from PluginTwo: function doSomethingThree( OneType, TwoType ); The native implementation would need to be able to convert both types, and the OneType is provided by a different plugin. Obviously, PluginTwo would need to be linked to the same base classes used with PluginOne, but PluginTwo may not have direct access to the FunctionTemplate from which PluginOne's type(s) (e.g. OneType) are created. i have the basic framework for that in place (the conversions to/from native/js), but what i'm trying to do will only work (i think) for this particular case if i can use shared instances of my class wrappers (or at least the FunctionTemplate ctors) across different Contexts. :-? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
