[v8-users] V8 internal benchmarks (Richards, DeltaBlue, Navier Stokes etc.)

2014-05-29 Thread Hendrik Greving
Hi, I looked at the code of these benchmarks and kind of have an idea. What's unclear to me was a) whether there is some self-checking built-in and b) let's say I am running this between different chip architectures but the same instruction set, let's say an old and a new Intel x86 chip, but

[v8-users] V8 and WebKit

2014-05-29 Thread VasantT
Hi, I read an article today about Webkit unifying JavaScript Compilation with LLVM compiler https://www.webkit.org/blog/3362/introducing-the-webkit-ftl-jit/. The article explains how WebKit has combined its JavaScript compilation infrastructure with its LLVM optimizer to use optimizations

[v8-users] GNU readline and the GPL license

2014-05-29 Thread Spencer Behling
My question is about the license for v8 or maybe just a part of it specifically d8 that links to gnu readline. According to this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Readline#Choice_of_the_GPL_as_GNU_Readline.27s_license it seems like linking an application with readline means that the GPL

IANAL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GPL#Linking_and_derived_works sounds like there might not be a simple answer to your question. Note that d8 does not depend on readline; readline support is an optional (and compile-time opt-in) feature. We're not distributing binaries linked against

[v8-users] has_pending_message_ causing V8_Fatal

2014-05-29 Thread Jim Acquavella
Upon launching my app, if the script has an error, my application will fail with the stack crawl below. Within freeing the ThreadLocalTop, the ASSERT for !has_pending_message_ fails. Why is that? In my code that compiles and executes the script, it uses a TryCatch and asks whether is

V8 replaces exactly the component of webkit you are talking about. Unless you are wondering about a reactionary response. Which I doubt will happen, the only other serious contender with V8 is SpiderMonkey. -- -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com

Hi Ben, thanks for the answer, but I think you misunderstood both questions. Let me re-phrase, to a) do the standalone benchmarks Richards, Splay, DeltaBlue etc. have self-checking built-in? Meaning is there some kind of results check, whether the benchmark ran correctly? to b) let's say I

[v8-users] A class method that returns another class?

2014-05-29 Thread admin
I'm working on a node module and I'm trying to get a method of one C++ class to return an instance of another C++ class to Javascript, but I'm not sure how to go about it. In the constructor, I can simply use args.This(), but in a method that will point to the instance the method is running
