The V8 API is a C++ interface which on Windows is exported to the DLL using __declspec(dllexport). When an application is build the C++ interface is imported using __declspec(dllimport). This woks fine when Microsoft C++ is used for compiling both the DLL and the application using the DLL as the same name mangling (name decoration) scheme used by both the generator of the DLL and the application using it (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/56h2zst2(VS.80).aspx).<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/56h2zst2(VS.80).aspx> Also note that with the current design of the API parts of the API code will reside in the application and not in the DLL. Look for the use of EXPORT_INLINE in include/v8.h.
To use the V8 DLL from an application not build by Microsoft C++ will require another API layer written using a plain C interface. The same goes for the Linux shared library where the conpiler building the libv8.so and the compiler using it will both have to be C++ compilers using the same name mangling scheme (this has only been tested with g++).
