I would like to monitor the execution of the script in v8,
interrupting it if the execution takes an excessive amount of time,
e.g. as a result of an endless loop. If you are familiar, SpiderMonkey
JS engine has JS_SetOperationCallback (JS_SetBranchCallback) API which
can be adopted for that purpose.

>From what I learned about v8, the only way would be to run an instance
of the v8 interpreter in a separate process, monitor it externally and
terminate the process when I decide that the processing takes too much
time.

I hoped that SetCounterFunction and SetCreateHistogramFunction may
help but apparently they do not cover the execution stage, or at least
they do not produce anything if I am inside an endless loop which
doesn't affect the garbage collection.

Could be that I missed something? Is there a better way to monitor the
time of the execution and interrupt it when necessary?

Thanks,
Martin
