[v8-users] Question on string.js, array.js in src.

[mcot]

I was wondering if someone could provide details on the *.js files in
the v8 source.

In string.js I see this fragment of code:

// Set the String function and constructor.
%SetCode($String, function(x) {
  var value = %_ArgumentsLength() == 0 ? '' : TO_STRING_INLINE(x);
  if (%_IsConstructCall()) {
    %_SetValueOf(this, value);
  } else {
    return value;
  }
});

Is this called every time a string is created?  Specifically I was
wondering about both of these cases:

var x = "string"
var x = new String("string")

Also, could I add my own custom code to these files to perform some
action when a string is created?

Thanks in advance.
Matt
