Hi everyone, 

I am having some issues while trying to implement a "wait for debugger" 
feature on my debugger client connection. I want to allow my user to have 
its script execution paused until he connect his debugger client to v8. 

I am trying to do this by calling v8::Debug::DebugBreak before my Script 
runs (that's how the former v8::Debug::EnableAgent use to do this). My 
application is multi-threaded, so each v8 API call use a v8::Locker to be 
thread safe.

So my use case could be summarized as : 

//...

v8::Debug::DebugBreak();

StartMyDebuggerListenerThread();

{
   v8::Locker lock(my_isolate);
   myScript->Run()
}

//...


My problem is that the DebugBreak function sets some interruption flags on 
the local thread (to trigger the break when possible I guess). 
*      See execution.cc StackGuard::RequestInterrupt(int flagbit)*

But the locker clears this flag, while it's being initialized. 
*      See v8threads.cc Locker::Initialize(V8::Isolate* isolate), during 
the RestoreThread() call*


So whenever I try to trigger a break, it's cancelled by the next Locker I 
hit. Am I doing something wrong ? I am using v8 3.27.34.20 could this be 
related to my version, and be fixed in the next ones ? (From what I see, I 
does not seem to change in the last version)

Another quick question, how does v8 trigger this break (performed by 
v8::Debug::DebugBreak() ) ? Is this done automatically ? or do I have to 
call v8::Debug::ProcessDebugMessage to process it like a DebugCommand ? 

Thanks a lot for your help, 
Have a good day,
Julien.
