Hi all,

I'm trying to understand how V8 engine compiles and execute JavaScript 
events. I used GDB to track the function call path when handling an event 
and it look like this.



 #0  v8::internal::Logger::TimerEvent (this=<optimized out>, se=<optimized 
out>, name=<optimized out>) at ../../v8/src/log.cc:866


 #1  0x00007f0cfcb23b39 in TimerEventScope (this=<optimized out>, 
isolate=<optimized out>) at ../../v8/src/log.h:354


 #2  v8::Function::Call (this=<optimized out>, context=..., recv=..., 
argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at ../../v8/src/api.cc:5094


 #3  0x00007f0cf18daa0b in blink::V8ScriptRunner::callFunction 
(function=..., context=0x201b099829d0, receiver=..., argc=1, 
args=0x7fffe9e1cea0, 
    isolate=0x2def318c6020) at ../../third_party/WebKit/Source/bindings/core
/v8/V8ScriptRunner.cpp:658


 #4  0x00007f0cf18a1c26 in blink::V8EventListener::callListenerFunction 
(this=0xe9381bfbea0, scriptState=0x37fa7244c710, jsEvent=..., event=
    0x36f97e2ba60) at ../../third_party/WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/
V8EventListener.cpp:112


 
 #5  0x00007f0cf1887b16 in 
blink::V8AbstractEventListener::invokeEventHandler (this=0xe9381bfbea0, 
scriptState=0x37fa7244c710, 
    event=0x36f97e2ba60, jsEvent=...) at ../../third_party/WebKit/Source/
bindings/core/v8/V8AbstractEventListener.cpp:142


 #6  0x00007f0cf188787f in blink::V8AbstractEventListener::handleEvent 
(this=0xe9381bfbea0, scriptState=0x37fa7244c710, event=0x36f97e2ba60)
    at ../../third_party/WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/
V8AbstractEventListener.cpp:101

(this=0x201b09982858, event=0x36f97e2ba60, d=0xe9381be9500, entry=...)
    at ../../third_party/WebKit/Source/core/events/EventTarget.cpp:700


 #9  0x00007f0cf211b7cb in blink::EventTarget::fireEventListeners 
(this=0x201b09982858, event=0x36f97e2ba60)
    at ../../third_party/WebKit/Source/core/events/EventTarget.cpp:56


I tried to read the source code to find out where does V8 compiles the 
JavaScript, but unfortunately, I could not find it.

It would be really helpful if someone can explain the process to me, or let 
me know which files(functions) I should read.

Best regards,
