Hi, We added a new API function to V8 8.6.344, called Isolate::HasPendingBackgroundTasks. This API function allows embedders to check if there is pending background work that will eventually post new foreground tasks, like WebAssembly compilation. The new API should solve the problem where an embedder would shut down V8 even though there was still pending WebAssembly compilation that would eventually start actual script execution. With the new API the embedder can wait for new foreground tasks when Isolate::HasPendingBackgroundTasks returns true instead of shutting down V8.
The new API is already used in d8. More information is available in the design doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/18vaABH1mR35PQr8XPHZySuQYgSjJbWFyAW63LW2m8-w> .
