New issue 2487 by [email protected]: Force the explicit use of
Isolates in v8's external API
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2487
The implicit use of Isolates in v8's external API has several drawbacks:
* Retrieving the current Isolate via TLS is quite costly.
* It establishes an obscure implicit protocol how Isolates are
initialized, involving several inconsistent runtime checks.
We will fix this by introducing a mandatory Isolate argument as the first
argument to all API entries which actually need one. The non-Isolate
versions and the ones with a different argument order will be deprecated,
so we can remove them in future releases (probably 3.17).
