A quick update for those who are interested in running a v8-based multi-threaded application in a Node process, but completely isolated from the Node.
I built static v8 libraries using a GN build. This is release arguments file I used (`args.gn`): is_debug = false target_cpu = "x64" v8_static_library = true is_component_build = false The build failed close to the end with this error message: > ninja -C out.gn/x64.release ninja: Entering directory `out.gn/x64.release' [1/1] Regenerating ninja files [1389/1543] LINK cctest.exe cctest.exe.pdb FAILED: cctest.exe cctest.exe.pdb ...\depot_tools/win_tools-2_7_6_bin/python/bin/python.exe ../../build/toolchain/win/tool_wrapper.py link-wrapper environment.x64 False link.exe /nologo /OUT:./cctest.exe /PDB:./cctest.exe.pdb @./cctest.exe.rsp LINK : warning LNK4001: no object files specified; libraries used LINK : error LNK1218: warning treated as error; no output file generated [1394/1543] CXX obj/test/unittests/unittests_sources/unoptimized-compile-job-unittest.obj ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. , but it did manage to produce all static v8 libraries to link against. This is the resulting list of libraries in `out.gn/x64.release/obj` and some subdirectories: icui18n.lib icuuc.lib v8_base_0.lib v8_base_1.lib v8_external_snapshot.lib v8_init.lib v8_initializers.lib v8_libbase.lib v8_libplatform.lib v8_libsampler.lib v8_nosnapshot.lib v8_snapshot.lib As with a non-static v8 build, you will need `snapshot_blob.bin`, `natives_blob.bin` and `icudtl.dat` in the directory where the initialization can find them. My test setup was to run Node v6.9.1, which called a C++ modules every 50ms and created a couple of objects (a string and a function) and a couple of threads making a ton of v8 calls against multiple isolates from a static v8 library v6.6, which used most commonly-used v8 functionality, including first and second level weak pointer callbacks. -- -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
