Thanks for the details. I actually want to use native implementation in the end, but I need more details as I want to run v8 om mobile systems.
Do you know if I can find an old version of v8 with both interpreter and native modes, or has it been developed with native compilation from scratch? A version with both modes, even old, might save me a lot of work. Thanks Alexandre On Aug 18, 10:11 pm, "Lasse R.H.
