So it turns out that I was using *mksnapshot* incorrectly.
My procedure is now:-
1. Create snapshot ...
*./mksnapshot --extra_code my code.js my_snapshot.cc*
2. Copy snapshot ...
* cp **my_snapshot.cc*
* ./obj.target/v8_snapshot/geni/snapshot.cc*
3. Rebuild *Node*
Starting *node* results in availability of code from *my_code.js*.
Thus far - the code that I can *snapshot* needs to be really simple, and not
dependent on other packages.
For instance - I cannot access *console.log(..) * or use *require*.
... Any thoughts on getting these to work ? Can I combine *many* JS
files in a snapshot ?
Thanks in advance.
