Hi, the short answer to your question is "that's not possible." When you say "context", you mean a v8::Context, right? You can compile scripts in a way that is context-independent (meaning you can run them in multiple contexts in the same isolate) but you cannot move them from one isolate to another. You can use the same isolate in multiple threads (with appropriate use of the v8::Locker and v8::Unlocker APIs) but whether that's useful to you, is something you'll have to decide for yourself. :-) -- -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
