Detailed Description

V8 Platform abstraction layer.

The embedder has to provide an implementation of this interface before initializing the rest of V8.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ExpectedRuntime

This enum is used to indicate whether a task is potentially long running, or causes a long wait. The embedder might want to use this hint to decide whether to execute the task on a dedicated thread.

Member Function Documentation

◆ CallDelayedOnForegroundThread()

virtual void CallDelayedOnForegroundThread ( Isolate isolate,
Task task,
double  delay_in_seconds 
)
inlinevirtual

Schedules a task to be invoked on a foreground thread wrt a specific |isolate| after the given number of seconds |delay_in_seconds|. Tasks posted for the same isolate should be execute in order of scheduling. The definition of "foreground" is opaque to V8.

Definition at line 65 of file v8-platform.h.

◆ CallOnBackgroundThread()

virtual void CallOnBackgroundThread ( Task task,
ExpectedRuntime  expected_runtime 
)
pure virtual

Schedules a task to be invoked on a background thread. |expected_runtime| indicates that the task will run a long time. The Platform implementation takes ownership of |task|. There is no guarantee about order of execution of tasks wrt order of scheduling, nor is there a guarantee about the thread the task will be run on.

◆ CallOnForegroundThread()

virtual void CallOnForegroundThread ( Isolate isolate,
Task task 
)
pure virtual

Schedules a task to be invoked on a foreground thread wrt a specific |isolate|. Tasks posted for the same isolate should be execute in order of scheduling. The definition of "foreground" is opaque to V8.

◆ MonotonicallyIncreasingTime()

virtual double MonotonicallyIncreasingTime ( )
pure virtual

Monotonically increasing time in seconds from an arbitrary fixed point in the past. This function is expected to return at least millisecond-precision values. For this reason, it is recommended that the fixed point be no further in the past than the epoch.
