Subject: [v8-users] Re: simple Locker/Context fatal error

cruisercoder,

I think you're confusing isolates and contexts. Think of isolates
as containers of contexts. Lockers operate on isolates - in your
case the default isolate. When your first locker goes out of scope,
it exits the isolate. This effectively exits the context as well.
Your second locker re-enters the isolate, but it does NOT re-enter
the context. Call Context::GetEntered() to see what I mean.

To be completely honest I don't understand why Script::Compile()
succeeds when no context is entered. Mikhail?

Anyway, to fix your code just use a single locker in the outer
scope.

BTW, I think "Persistent<Context>::New(Context::New())" creates
two persistent handles. To avoid a leak, I think you just want
to do "context = Context::New()".

Good luck!
