|
|
|
|
|
embedded into any C++ application.

V8 compiles and executes JavaScript source code, handles memory allocation for
|
|
|
|
|
objects, and garbage collects objects it no longer needs. V8's stop-the-world,
|
|
|
|
|
generational, accurate garbage collector is one of the keys to V8's performance.
