Detailed Description

Container class for static utility functions.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Dispose()

static bool Dispose ( )

static

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.

It should generally not be necessary to dispose v8 before exiting a process, this should happen automatically. It is only necessary to use if the process needs the resources taken up by v8.

◆ EnableWebAssemblyTrapHandler()

static bool EnableWebAssemblyTrapHandler ( bool use_v8_signal_handler )

static

Activate trap-based bounds checking for WebAssembly.

Parameters

use_v8_signal_handler Whether V8 should install its own signal handler or rely on the embedder's.

◆ GetSharedMemoryStatistics()

static void GetSharedMemoryStatistics ( SharedMemoryStatistics * statistics )

static

Get statistics about the shared memory usage.

◆ GetVersion()

static const char* GetVersion ( )

static

Get the version string.

◆ Initialize()

static bool Initialize ( )

static

Initializes V8. This function needs to be called before the first Isolate is created. It always returns true.

◆ InitializeExternalStartupData()

static void InitializeExternalStartupData ( const char * directory_path )

static

Initialize the external startup data. The embedder only needs to invoke this method when external startup data was enabled in a build.

If V8 was compiled with the startup data in an external file, then V8 needs to be given those external files during startup. There are three ways to do this:

InitializeExternalStartupData(const char*) This will look in the given directory for the file "snapshot_blob.bin".
InitializeExternalStartupDataFromFile(const char*) As above, but will directly use the given file name.
Call SetSnapshotDataBlob. This will read the blobs from the given data structure and will not perform any file IO.

◆ InitializeExternalStartupDataFromFile()

static void InitializeExternalStartupDataFromFile ( const char * snapshot_blob )

static

◆ InitializeICU()

static bool InitializeICU ( const char * icu_data_file = nullptr )

static

Initialize the ICU library bundled with V8. The embedder should only invoke this method when using the bundled ICU. Returns true on success.

If V8 was compiled with the ICU data in an external file, the location of the data file has to be provided.

◆ InitializeICUDefaultLocation()

static bool InitializeICUDefaultLocation	(	const char *	exec_path,
		const char *	icu_data_file = `nullptr`
	)

static

Initialize the ICU library bundled with V8. The embedder should only invoke this method when using the bundled ICU. If V8 was compiled with the ICU data in an external file and when the default location of that file should be used, a path to the executable must be provided. Returns true on success.

The default is a file called icudtl.dat side-by-side with the executable.

Optionally, the location of the data file can be provided to override the default.

◆ InitializePlatform()

static void InitializePlatform ( Platform * platform )

static

Sets the v8::Platform to use. This should be invoked before V8 is initialized.

◆ SetDcheckErrorHandler()

static void SetDcheckErrorHandler ( DcheckErrorCallback that )

static

Set the callback to invoke in case of Dcheck failures.

◆ SetEntropySource()

static void SetEntropySource ( EntropySource source )

static

Allows the host application to provide a callback which can be used as a source of entropy for random number generators.

◆ SetFlagsFromCommandLine()

static void SetFlagsFromCommandLine	(	int *	argc,
		char **	argv,
		bool	remove_flags
	)

static

Sets V8 flags from the command line.

◆ SetFlagsFromString() [1/2]

static void SetFlagsFromString ( const char * str )

static

Sets V8 flags from a string.

◆ SetFlagsFromString() [2/2]

static void SetFlagsFromString	(	const char *	str,
		size_t	length
	)

static

◆ SetReturnAddressLocationResolver()

static void SetReturnAddressLocationResolver ( ReturnAddressLocationResolver return_address_resolver )

static

Allows the host application to provide a callback that allows v8 to cooperate with a profiler that rewrites return addresses on stack.

◆ SetSnapshotDataBlob()

static void SetSnapshotDataBlob ( StartupData * startup_blob )

static

Hand startup data to V8, in case the embedder has chosen to build V8 with external startup data.

Note:

By default the startup data is linked into the V8 library, in which case this function is not meaningful.
If this needs to be called, it needs to be called before V8 tries to make use of its built-ins.
To avoid unnecessary copies of data, V8 will point directly into the given data blob, so pretty please keep it around until V8 exit.
Compression of the startup blob might be useful, but needs to handled entirely on the embedders' side.
The call will abort if the data is invalid.
