Hi, all!
This is not a bug report, but a potential minor gotcha for v8 users. i've
been making this mistake consistently for about 2.5 years and only realized
it last week...
>From InvocationCallback implementations it's common (for me) to do:
return v8::ThrowException(v8::String::New(...));
what i didn't realize (until last week) was that in JS this translates to:
try { ... } catch(e) { print(typeof e); }
== 'string'
Which is, in hindsight, 100% expected (but i had never really thought about
it before). i had never noticed it because all my code just prints out
exceptions as strings.
So... the "correct" way to throw an Error looks like:
ThrowException(Exception::Error(String::New(...)))
Happy Hacking!
