Module v8::V8

Structs

EntropySource
EntropySource is used as a callback function when v8 needs a source of entropy.

assert_initialized
dispose^⚠
Releases any resources used by v8 and stops any utility threads that may be running. Note that disposing v8 is permanent, it cannot be reinitialized.
dispose_platform
Clears all references to the v8::Platform. This should be invoked after V8 was disposed. If it is called if V8 is not disposed, it will panic.
get_current_platform
Sets the v8::Platform to use. This should be invoked before V8 is initialized.
get_version
Get the version string.
initialize
Initializes V8. This function needs to be called before the first Isolate is created. It always returns true.
initialize_platform
Sets the v8::Platform to use. This should be invoked before V8 is initialized.
set_entropy_source
Allows the host application to provide a callback which can be used as a source of entropy for random number generators.
set_flags_from_command_line
Pass the command line arguments to v8. The first element of args (which usually corresponds to the binary name) is ignored. Returns a vector of command line arguments that V8 did not understand. TODO: Check whether this is safe to do after globally initializing v8.
set_flags_from_command_line_with_usage
The example code below is here to avoid the V8 usage string and options that are printed to stdout by this function. Placing this here instead of in a test allows the output to be suppressed.
set_flags_from_string
Sets V8 flags from a string.
