Hello,
I am using V8 to expose a C++ API to JavaScript, and I have a use-case where
one would need to have a JavaScript class that inherit from a C++ class. I've
seen from V8 test code how they test the inheritance thing there, but I
couldn't find anything that was specific to my case. I've exhausted all
resources that I could find on Google on this issue so I figured someone might
help here.
I've attached a simplified code snippet for my case. It contains the class that
I expose and the way I use it in JavaScript, so maybe someone can spot what I
am missing.
Thanks in advance.
