Good luck finding any such docs for v8. i, as a standalone developer, write more documentation for my projects than the v8 team can seem to conjure up for v8. It's not my intention to flame the developers, but documenting code is a fundamental part of writing the code (they go hand in hand, IMO), and for all of v8's technical merits, documentation is not one of v8's merits.

(i'm still wondering what API docs like "starts preemption" are trying to tell me.) Adequately documented software projects (libQt comes to mind) are unfortunately few and far between. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/
