Hi~ I'v read the reply and I have following additional questions:
Do I need isolates if i only use one node instance in one thread ? Is there any difference if I wrapped node.js to a library and run by calling node::Start function directly ? Thank you & BR Jason From: Paddy Byers Date: 2012-02-07 19:48 To: nodejs Subject: Re: [nodejs] Re: Embedding Node? Hi, This can be easy or hard depending on what you want your app to do. If you are simply "re-branding" the node executable, in the sense that your app will just enter the node event loop and stay there until the app exits, then you could either include the node source into your app project directly, or link to a separate library built from the node source. If, however, your app is going to be doing something else and you plan just to use node as a library - ie to spawn a node instance from time to time as your app runs, returning results back to the app - then you can't do that directly. To make that work with multiple node instances in the lifetime of your app - whether serially or concurrrently - then you need to use isolates. Since isolates are no longer part of 0.7/0.8, there's no 'off-the-shelf' way to do this. I have a fork that does build a library you can use in this way, and I'm currently trying to decide the best way to maintain this now that we don't have isolates as part of the official roadmap.
