I understand 'in parallel' that the threads running the JS functions use the same Context hence the same global object - with every implication of course. The synchronization is done by v8::Locker, so no thread is accessing the isolate without acquiring the v8::Lock. Sorry for the confusion. The question is still, if some circumstances exists, where TerminateExecution() does not terminate the execution of a running JS function in such an environment?
