Detailed Description

Isolate represents an isolated instance of the V8 engine. V8 isolates have completely separate states. Objects from one isolate must not be used in other isolates. The embedder can create multiple isolates and use them in parallel in multiple threads. An isolate can be entered by at most one thread at any given time. The Locker/Unlocker API must be used to synchronize.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ AbortOnUncaughtExceptionCallback

typedef bool(* v8::Isolate::AbortOnUncaughtExceptionCallback) (Isolate *)

Custom callback used by embedders to help V8 determine if it should abort when it throws and no internal handler is predicted to catch the exception. If –abort-on-uncaught-exception is used on the command line, then V8 will abort if either:

  • no custom callback is set.
  • the custom callback set returns true. Otherwise, the custom callback will not be called and V8 will not abort.

◆ AtomicsWaitCallback

typedef void(* v8::Isolate::AtomicsWaitCallback) (AtomicsWaitEvent event, Local< SharedArrayBuffer > array_buffer, size_t offset_in_bytes, int32_t value, double timeout_in_ms, AtomicsWaitWakeHandle *stop_handle, void *data)

Embedder callback for Atomics.wait() that can be added through |SetAtomicsWaitCallback|.

This will be called just before starting to wait with the |event| value |kStartWait| and after finishing waiting with one of the other values of |AtomicsWaitEvent| inside of an Atomics.wait() call.

|array_buffer| will refer to the underlying SharedArrayBuffer, |offset_in_bytes| to the location of the waited-on memory address inside the SharedArrayBuffer.

|value| and |timeout_in_ms| will be the values passed to the Atomics.wait() call. If no timeout was used, |timeout_in_ms| will be INFINITY.

In the |kStartWait| callback, |stop_handle| will be an object that is only valid until the corresponding finishing callback and that can be used to stop the wait process while it is happening.

This callback may schedule exceptions, unless |event| is equal to |kTerminatedExecution|.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ AtomicsWaitEvent

Use for |AtomicsWaitCallback| to indicate the type of event it receives.

Enumerator
kStartWait 

Indicates that this call is happening before waiting.

kWokenUp 

Atomics.wait() finished because of an Atomics.wake() call.

kTimedOut 

Atomics.wait() finished because it timed out.

kTerminatedExecution 

Atomics.wait() was interrupted through |TerminateExecution()|.

kAPIStopped 

Atomics.wait() was stopped through |AtomicsWaitWakeHandle|.

kNotEqual 

Atomics.wait() did not wait, as the initial condition was not met.

◆ GarbageCollectionType

Types of garbage collections that can be requested via RequestGarbageCollectionForTesting.

◆ UseCounterFeature

Features reported via the SetUseCounterCallback callback. Do not change assigned numbers of existing items; add new features to the end of this list.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddBeforeCallEnteredCallback()

void v8::Isolate::AddBeforeCallEnteredCallback ( BeforeCallEnteredCallback  callback)

Adds a callback to notify the host application right before a script is about to run. If a script re-enters the runtime during executing, the BeforeCallEnteredCallback is invoked for each re-entrance. Executing scripts inside the callback will re-trigger the callback.

◆ AddCallCompletedCallback()

void v8::Isolate::AddCallCompletedCallback ( CallCompletedCallback  callback)

Adds a callback to notify the host application when a script finished running. If a script re-enters the runtime during executing, the CallCompletedCallback is only invoked when the outer-most script execution ends. Executing scripts inside the callback do not trigger further callbacks.

◆ AddGCEpilogueCallback()

void v8::Isolate::AddGCEpilogueCallback ( GCCallbackWithData  callback,
void *  data = nullptr,
GCType  gc_type_filter = kGCTypeAll 
)

Enables the host application to receive a notification after a garbage collection. Allocations are allowed in the callback function, but the callback is not re-entrant: if the allocation inside it will trigger the garbage collection, the callback won't be called again. It is possible to specify the GCType filter for your callback. But it is not possible to register the same callback function two times with different GCType filters.

◆ AddGCPrologueCallback()

void v8::Isolate::AddGCPrologueCallback ( GCCallbackWithData  callback,
void *  data = nullptr,
GCType  gc_type_filter = kGCTypeAll 
)

Enables the host application to receive a notification before a garbage collection. Allocations are allowed in the callback function, but the callback is not re-entrant: if the allocation inside it will trigger the garbage collection, the callback won't be called again. It is possible to specify the GCType filter for your callback. But it is not possible to register the same callback function two times with different GCType filters.

◆ AddMessageListener()

bool v8::Isolate::AddMessageListener ( MessageCallback  that,
Local< Value data = LocalValue >() 
)

Adds a message listener (errors only).

The same message listener can be added more than once and in that case it will be called more than once for each message.

If data is specified, it will be passed to the callback when it is called. Otherwise, the exception object will be passed to the callback instead.

◆ AddMessageListenerWithErrorLevel()

bool v8::Isolate::AddMessageListenerWithErrorLevel ( MessageCallback  that,
int  message_levels,
Local< Value data = LocalValue >() 
)

Adds a message listener.

The same message listener can be added more than once and in that case it will be called more than once for each message.

If data is specified, it will be passed to the callback when it is called. Otherwise, the exception object will be passed to the callback instead.

A listener can listen for particular error levels by providing a mask.

◆ AddMicrotasksCompletedCallback()

void v8::Isolate::AddMicrotasksCompletedCallback ( MicrotasksCompletedCallback  callback)

Adds a callback to notify the host application after microtasks were run. The callback is triggered by explicit RunMicrotasks call or automatic microtasks execution (see SetAutorunMicrotasks).

Callback will trigger even if microtasks were attempted to run, but the microtasks queue was empty and no single microtask was actually executed.

Executing scriptsinside the callback will not re-trigger microtasks and the callback.

◆ AddNearHeapLimitCallback()

void v8::Isolate::AddNearHeapLimitCallback ( NearHeapLimitCallback  callback,
void *  data 
)

Add a callback to invoke in case the heap size is close to the heap limit. If multiple callbacks are added, only the most recently added callback is invoked.

◆ AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory()

int64_t v8::Isolate::AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory ( int64_t  change_in_bytes)

Adjusts the amount of registered external memory. Used to give V8 an indication of the amount of externally allocated memory that is kept alive by JavaScript objects. V8 uses this to decide when to perform global garbage collections. Registering externally allocated memory will trigger global garbage collections more often than it would otherwise in an attempt to garbage collect the JavaScript objects that keep the externally allocated memory alive.

Parameters
change_in_bytesthe change in externally allocated memory that is kept alive by JavaScript objects.
Returns
the adjusted value.

◆ Allocate()

static Isolate* v8::Isolate::Allocate ( )
static

Allocates a new isolate but does not initialize it. Does not change the currently entered isolate.

Only Isolate::GetData() and Isolate::SetData(), which access the embedder-controlled parts of the isolate, are allowed to be called on the uninitialized isolate. To initialize the isolate, call Isolate::Initialize().

When an isolate is no longer used its resources should be freed by calling Dispose(). Using the delete operator is not allowed.

V8::Initialize() must have run prior to this.

◆ CancelTerminateExecution()

void v8::Isolate::CancelTerminateExecution ( )

Resume execution capability in the given isolate, whose execution was previously forcefully terminated using TerminateExecution().

When execution is forcefully terminated using TerminateExecution(), the isolate can not resume execution until all JavaScript frames have propagated the uncatchable exception which is generated. This method allows the program embedding the engine to handle the termination event and resume execution capability, even if JavaScript frames remain on the stack.

This method can be used by any thread even if that thread has not acquired the V8 lock with a Locker object.

◆ ContextDisposedNotification()

int v8::Isolate::ContextDisposedNotification ( bool  dependant_context = true)

Optional notification that a context has been disposed. V8 uses these notifications to guide the GC heuristic. Returns the number of context disposals - including this one - since the last time V8 had a chance to clean up.

The optional parameter |dependant_context| specifies whether the disposed context was depending on state from other contexts or not.

◆ DisableMemorySavingsMode()

void v8::Isolate::DisableMemorySavingsMode ( )

Optional notification which will disable the memory savings mode.

◆ DiscardThreadSpecificMetadata()

void v8::Isolate::DiscardThreadSpecificMetadata ( )

Discards all V8 thread-specific data for the Isolate. Should be used if a thread is terminating and it has used an Isolate that will outlive the thread – all thread-specific data for an Isolate is discarded when an Isolate is disposed so this call is pointless if an Isolate is about to be Disposed.

◆ Dispose()

void v8::Isolate::Dispose ( )

Disposes the isolate. The isolate must not be entered by any thread to be disposable.

◆ DumpAndResetStats()

void v8::Isolate::DumpAndResetStats ( )

Dumps activated low-level V8 internal stats. This can be used instead of performing a full isolate disposal.

◆ EnableMemorySavingsMode()

void v8::Isolate::EnableMemorySavingsMode ( )

Optional notification which will enable the memory savings mode. V8 uses this notification to guide heuristics which may result in a smaller memory footprint at the cost of reduced runtime performance.

◆ EnqueueMicrotask() [1/2]

void v8::Isolate::EnqueueMicrotask ( Local< Function microtask)

Enqueues the callback to the Microtask Work Queue

◆ EnqueueMicrotask() [2/2]

void v8::Isolate::EnqueueMicrotask ( MicrotaskCallback  callback,
void *  data = nullptr 
)

Enqueues the callback to the Microtask Work Queue

◆ Enter()

void v8::Isolate::Enter ( )

Methods below this point require holding a lock (using Locker) in a multi-threaded environment. Sets this isolate as the entered one for the current thread. Saves the previously entered one (if any), so that it can be restored when exiting. Re-entering an isolate is allowed.

◆ Exit()

void v8::Isolate::Exit ( )

Exits this isolate by restoring the previously entered one in the current thread. The isolate may still stay the same, if it was entered more than once.

Requires: this == Isolate::GetCurrent().

◆ GetCodeRange()

void v8::Isolate::GetCodeRange ( void **  start,
size_t *  length_in_bytes 
)

Returns a memory range that can potentially contain jitted code.

On Win64, embedders are advised to install function table callbacks for these ranges, as default SEH won't be able to unwind through jitted code.

The first page of the code range is reserved for the embedder and is committed, writable, and executable.

Might be empty on other platforms.

https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3598

◆ GetCurrent()

static Isolate* v8::Isolate::GetCurrent ( )
static

Returns the entered isolate for the current thread or NULL in case there is no current isolate.

This method must not be invoked before V8::Initialize() was invoked.

◆ GetCurrentContext()

Local<Context> v8::Isolate::GetCurrentContext ( )

Returns the context of the currently running JavaScript, or the context on the top of the stack if no JavaScript is running.

◆ GetData()

void * v8::Isolate::GetData ( uint32_t  slot)

Retrieve embedder-specific data from the isolate. Returns NULL if SetData has never been called for the given |slot|.

◆ GetDataFromSnapshotOnce()

template<class T >
V8_INLINE MaybeLocal<T> v8::Isolate::GetDataFromSnapshotOnce ( size_t  index)

Return data that was previously attached to the isolate snapshot via SnapshotCreator, and removes the reference to it. Repeated call with the same index returns an empty MaybeLocal.

◆ GetEnteredContext()

Local<Context> v8::Isolate::GetEnteredContext ( )

Returns the last context entered through V8's C++ API.

◆ GetEnteredOrMicrotaskContext()

Local<Context> v8::Isolate::GetEnteredOrMicrotaskContext ( )

Returns either the last context entered through V8's C++ API, or the context of the currently running microtask while processing microtasks. If a context is entered while executing a microtask, that context is returned.

◆ GetHeapCodeAndMetadataStatistics()

bool v8::Isolate::GetHeapCodeAndMetadataStatistics ( HeapCodeStatistics object_statistics)

Get statistics about code and its metadata in the heap.

Parameters
object_statisticsThe HeapCodeStatistics object to fill in statistics of code, bytecode and their metadata.
Returns
true on success.

◆ GetHeapObjectStatisticsAtLastGC()

bool v8::Isolate::GetHeapObjectStatisticsAtLastGC ( HeapObjectStatistics object_statistics,
size_t  type_index 
)

Get statistics about objects in the heap.

Parameters
object_statisticsThe HeapObjectStatistics object to fill in statistics of objects of given type, which were live in the previous GC.
type_indexThe index of the type of object to fill details about, which ranges from 0 to NumberOfTrackedHeapObjectTypes() - 1.
Returns
true on success.

◆ GetHeapProfiler()

HeapProfiler* v8::Isolate::GetHeapProfiler ( )

Returns heap profiler for this isolate. Will return NULL until the isolate is initialized.

◆ GetHeapSpaceStatistics()

bool v8::Isolate::GetHeapSpaceStatistics ( HeapSpaceStatistics space_statistics,
size_t  index 
)

Get the memory usage of a space in the heap.

Parameters
space_statisticsThe HeapSpaceStatistics object to fill in statistics.
indexThe index of the space to get statistics from, which ranges from 0 to NumberOfHeapSpaces() - 1.
Returns
true on success.

◆ GetHeapStatistics()

void v8::Isolate::GetHeapStatistics ( HeapStatistics heap_statistics)

Get statistics about the heap memory usage.

◆ GetIncumbentContext()

Local<Context> v8::Isolate::GetIncumbentContext ( )

Returns the Context that corresponds to the Incumbent realm in HTML spec. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#incumbent

◆ GetMicrotasksPolicy()

MicrotasksPolicy v8::Isolate::GetMicrotasksPolicy ( ) const

Returns the policy controlling how Microtasks are invoked.

◆ GetNumberOfDataSlots()

uint32_t v8::Isolate::GetNumberOfDataSlots ( )
static

Returns the maximum number of available embedder data slots. Valid slots are in the range of 0 - GetNumberOfDataSlots() - 1.

◆ GetStackSample()

void v8::Isolate::GetStackSample ( const RegisterState state,
void **  frames,
size_t  frames_limit,
SampleInfo sample_info 
)

Get a call stack sample from the isolate.

Parameters
stateExecution state.
framesCaller allocated buffer to store stack frames.
frames_limitMaximum number of frames to capture. The buffer must be large enough to hold the number of frames.
sample_infoThe sample info is filled up by the function provides number of actual captured stack frames and the current VM state.
Note
GetStackSample should only be called when the JS thread is paused or interrupted. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.

◆ IdleNotificationDeadline()

bool v8::Isolate::IdleNotificationDeadline ( double  deadline_in_seconds)

Optional notification that the embedder is idle. V8 uses the notification to perform garbage collection. This call can be used repeatedly if the embedder remains idle. Returns true if the embedder should stop calling IdleNotificationDeadline until real work has been done. This indicates that V8 has done as much cleanup as it will be able to do.

The deadline_in_seconds argument specifies the deadline V8 has to finish garbage collection work. deadline_in_seconds is compared with MonotonicallyIncreasingTime() and should be based on the same timebase as that function. There is no guarantee that the actual work will be done within the time limit.

◆ InContext()

bool v8::Isolate::InContext ( )

Returns true if this isolate has a current context.

◆ IncreaseHeapLimitForDebugging()

void v8::Isolate::IncreaseHeapLimitForDebugging ( )

Optional notification to tell V8 the current isolate is used for debugging and requires higher heap limit.

◆ Initialize()

static void v8::Isolate::Initialize ( Isolate isolate,
const CreateParams params 
)
static

Initialize an Isolate previously allocated by Isolate::Allocate().

◆ IsDead()

Check if V8 is dead and therefore unusable. This is the case after fatal errors such as out-of-memory situations.

◆ IsExecutionTerminating()

bool v8::Isolate::IsExecutionTerminating ( )

Is V8 terminating JavaScript execution.

Returns true if JavaScript execution is currently terminating because of a call to TerminateExecution. In that case there are still JavaScript frames on the stack and the termination exception is still active.

◆ IsHeapLimitIncreasedForDebugging()

bool v8::Isolate::IsHeapLimitIncreasedForDebugging ( )

Returns true if the heap limit was increased for debugging and the original heap limit was not restored yet.

◆ IsInUse()

bool v8::Isolate::IsInUse ( )

Check if this isolate is in use. True if at least one thread Enter'ed this isolate.

◆ IsolateInBackgroundNotification()

void v8::Isolate::IsolateInBackgroundNotification ( )

Optional notification that the isolate switched to the background. V8 uses these notifications to guide heuristics.

Optional notification that the isolate switched to the foreground. V8 uses these notifications to guide heuristics.

◆ LowMemoryNotification()

void v8::Isolate::LowMemoryNotification ( )

Optional notification that the system is running low on memory. V8 uses these notifications to attempt to free memory.

◆ MemoryPressureNotification()

void v8::Isolate::MemoryPressureNotification ( MemoryPressureLevel  level)

Optional notification that the system is running low on memory. V8 uses these notifications to guide heuristics. It is allowed to call this function from another thread while the isolate is executing long running JavaScript code.

◆ New()

static Isolate* v8::Isolate::New ( const CreateParams params)
static

Creates a new isolate. Does not change the currently entered isolate.

When an isolate is no longer used its resources should be freed by calling Dispose(). Using the delete operator is not allowed.

◆ RequestGarbageCollectionForTesting()

void v8::Isolate::RequestGarbageCollectionForTesting ( GarbageCollectionType  type)

Request garbage collection in this Isolate. It is only valid to call this function if –expose_gc was specified.

This should only be used for testing purposes and not to enforce a garbage collection schedule. It has strong negative impact on the garbage collection performance. Use IdleNotificationDeadline() or LowMemoryNotification() instead to influence the garbage collection schedule.

◆ RequestInterrupt()

void v8::Isolate::RequestInterrupt ( InterruptCallback  callback,

◆ SetGetExternallyAllocatedMemoryInBytesCallback()

void v8::Isolate::SetGetExternallyAllocatedMemoryInBytesCallback ( GetExternallyAllocatedMemoryInBytesCallback  callback)

Set the callback that tells V8 how much memory is currently allocated externally of the V8 heap. Ideally this memory is somehow connected to V8 objects and may get freed-up when the corresponding V8 objects get collected by a V8 garbage collection.

◆ SetHostImportModuleDynamicallyCallback()

void v8::Isolate::SetHostImportModuleDynamicallyCallback ( HostImportModuleDynamicallyCallback  callback)

This specifies the callback called by the upcoming dynamic import() language feature to load modules.

Tells the VM whether the embedder is idle or not.

◆ SetJitCodeEventHandler()

void v8::Isolate::SetJitCodeEventHandler ( JitCodeEventOptions  options,
JitCodeEventHandler  event_handler 
)

Allows the host application to provide the address of a function that is notified each time code is added, moved or removed.

Parameters
optionsoptions for the JIT code event handler.
event_handlerthe JIT code event handler, which will be invoked each time code is added, moved or removed.
Note
event_handler won't get notified of existent code.
since code removal notifications are not currently issued, the event_handler may get notifications of code that overlaps earlier code notifications. This happens when code areas are reused, and the earlier overlapping code areas should therefore be discarded.
the events passed to event_handler and the strings they point to are not guaranteed to live past each call. The event_handler must copy strings and other parameters it needs to keep around.
the set of events declared in JitCodeEvent::EventType is expected to grow over time, and the JitCodeEvent structure is expected to accrue new members. The event_handler function must ignore event codes it does not recognize to maintain future compatibility.
Use Isolate::CreateParams to get events for code executed during Isolate setup.

◆ SetMicrotasksPolicy()

void v8::Isolate::SetMicrotasksPolicy ( MicrotasksPolicy  policy)

Controls how Microtasks are invoked. See MicrotasksPolicy for details.

◆ SetStackLimit()

void v8::Isolate::SetStackLimit ( uintptr_t  stack_limit)

Modifies the stack limit for this Isolate.

Parameters
stack_limitAn address beyond which the Vm's stack may not grow.

This method can be used by any thread even if that thread has not acquired the V8 lock with a Locker object.

◆ ThrowException()

Local<Value> v8::Isolate::ThrowException ( Local< Value exception)

Schedules an exception to be thrown when returning to JavaScript. When an exception has been scheduled it is illegal to invoke any JavaScript operation; the caller must return immediately and only after the exception has been handled does it become legal to invoke JavaScript operations.

◆ V8_DEPRECATED()
