Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 1312 by [email protected]: It's time to get iOS supported! http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1312
Hello devs, previously, I was told that the problem with getting V8 to run on iOS was the fact that JIT compilation could not be supported due to Apple disabling writable and executable memory regions.
However it appears that this restriction has been lifted in iOS 4.3, since Apple decided finally decided to include their own JavaScript JIT (Nitro) on the operating system. See this gist here: https://gist.github.com/855607
So for the hell of it, I installed 4.3.1 on my iPhone 4, made it jailbroken, and set up the gcc toolchain. So far I've build perl and git from their source sucessfully. When I tried V8, here's where it failed: https://gist.github.com/bdbf4d12c96232416acc
So I'm interested in hopefully getting this worked out. In the end, I'm trying to compile and run NodeJS on my iPhone. Thanks in advance!
