Hi everyone, I am investigating using v8 in a server environment. As in node.js, incoming requests will do some (hopefully) light work before waiting on a heavy duty back end process. Normally one request thread would be fine as in node.js, however third parties can write the JavaScript code and so I can't rely on this really being alive in a sort of multi- tenant environment (multi project at least).
When looking into multi threading and v8, I see I can use isolates. I have two questions: 1) I can easily ensure that only one thread accesses an isolate at a time - do I still need to use the Locker class? 2) I will use windows fibers to manage chunks of parallelizable work. If running some JavaScript code in a fiber results in calling the heavy duty backend, I want to make the fiber yield. What happens to the isolate, handlescope and lockers in this case? Do they remain associated only with the fiber or with the thread overall? Thanks, Mchael -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users
