History

mads.s.ager cbaa060d28 Improved performance of garbage collection by moving the function that updates pointers during compacting collection into the updating visitor. This gives the compiler a better chance to inline and avoid a function call per (potential) pointer. Extended the shell sample with a --runtime-flags option. Added Visual Studio project files for the shell.cc and process.cc samples. git-svn-id: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@14 ce2b1a6d-e550-0410-aec6-3dcde31c8c00		2008-08-14 13:41:48 +00:00

README.txt

This directory contains Microsoft Visual Studio project files for including v8
in a Visual Studio solution.

v8_base.vcproj
--------------
Base V8 library containing all the V8 code but no JavaScript library code. This
includes third party code for regular expression handling (jscre) and
string/number convertions (dtoa).

v8.vcproj
---------
V8 library containing all the V8 and JavaScript library code embedded as source
which is compiled as V8 is running.

v8_mksnapshot.vcproj
--------------------
Executable v8_mksnapshot.exe for building a heap snapshot from a running V8.

v8_snapshot.vcproj
------------------
V8 library containing all the V8 and JavaScript library code embedded as a heap
snapshot instead of source to be compiled as V8 is running. Using this library
provides significantly faster startup time than v8.vcproj.

The property sheets common.vsprops, debug.vsprops and release.vsprops contains
most of the configuration options and are inhireted by the project files
described above. The location of the output directory used are defined in
common.vsprops.

With regard to Platform SDK version V8 has no specific requriments and builds
with either what is supplied with Visual Studio 2005 or the latest Platform SDK
from Microsoft.

When adding these projects to a solution the following dependencies needs to be
in place:

  v8.vcproj depends on v8_base.vcproj
  v8_mksnapshot.vcproj depends on v8.vcproj
  v8_snapshot.vcproj depends on v8_mksnapshot.vcproj and v8_base.vcproj

A project which uses V8 should then depend on v8_snapshot.vcproj.

If V8 without snapshot if preferred only v8_base.vcproj and v8.vcproj are
required and a project which uses V8 should depend on v8.vcproj.

Two sample project files are available as well. These are v8_shell_sample.vcproj
for building the sample in samples\shell.cc and v8_process_sample.vcproj for
building the sample in samples\process.cc. Add either of these (or both) to a
solution with v8_base, v8, v8_mksnapshot and v8_snapshot set up as described
above and have them depend on v8_snapshot.

Python requirements
-------------------
When using the Microsoft Visual Studio project files Python version 2.4 or later
is required. Make sure that python.exe is on the path before running Visual
Studio. The use of Python is in the command script js2c.cmd which is used in the
Custom Build Step for v8natives.js in the v8.vcproj project.
