Structs§

AccessorConfiguration
AccessorSignature: An AccessorSignature specifies which receivers are valid parameters to an accessor callback.
Allocator: A thread-safe allocator that V8 uses to allocate |ArrayBuffer|’s memory. The allocator is a global V8 setting. It has to be set via Isolate::CreateParams.
AllowJavascriptExecutionScope
Array: An instance of the built-in array constructor (ECMA-262, 15.4.2).
ArrayBuffer: An instance of the built-in ArrayBuffer constructor (ES6 draft 15.13.5).
ArrayBufferView: A base class for an instance of one of “views” over ArrayBuffer, including TypedArrays and DataView (ES6 draft 15.13).
BackingStore: A wrapper around the backing store (i.e. the raw memory) of an array buffer. See a document linked in http://crbug.com/v8/9908 for more information.
BigInt: A JavaScript BigInt value (https://tc39.github.io/proposal-bigint)
BigInt64Array: An instance of BigInt64Array constructor.
BigIntObject: A BigInt object (https://tc39.github.io/proposal-bigint)
BigUint64Array: An instance of BigUint64Array constructor.
Boolean: A primitive boolean value (ECMA-262, 4.3.14). Either the true or false value.
BooleanObject: A Boolean object (ECMA-262, 4.3.15).
CallbackScope: A CallbackScope can be used to bootstrap a HandleScope and ContextScope inside a callback function that gets called by V8. Bootstrapping a scope inside a callback is the only valid use case of this type; using it in other places leads to undefined behavior, which is also the reason CallbackScope::new() is marked as being an unsafe function.
CompiledWasmModule: Wrapper around a compiled WebAssembly module, which is potentially shared by different WasmModuleObjects.
Context: A sandboxed execution context with its own set of built-in objects and functions.
ContextOptions
ContextScope: Stack-allocated class which sets the execution context for all operations executed within a local scope. After entering a context, all code compiled and run is compiled and run in this context.
CreateParams: Initial configuration parameters for a new Isolate.
Data: The superclass of objects that can reside on V8’s heap.
DataView: An instance of DataView constructor (ES6 draft 15.13.7).
Date: An instance of the built-in Date constructor (ECMA-262, 15.9).
DisallowJavascriptExecutionScope
EscapableHandleScope: A HandleScope which first allocates a handle in the current scope which will be later filled with the escape value.
Eternal: Eternal handles are set-once handles that live for the lifetime of the isolate.
Exception: Create new error objects by calling the corresponding error object constructor with the message.
External: A JavaScript value that wraps a C++ void*. This type of value is mainly used to associate C++ data structures with JavaScript objects.
FixedArray: A fixed-sized array with elements of type Data.
Float32Array: An instance of Float32Array constructor (ES6 draft 15.13.6).
Float64Array: An instance of Float64Array constructor (ES6 draft 15.13.6).
Function: A JavaScript function object (ECMA-262, 15.3).
FunctionBuilder: A builder to construct the properties of a Function or FunctionTemplate.
FunctionCallbackArguments
FunctionCallbackInfo: The argument information given to function call callbacks. This class provides access to information about the context of the call, including the receiver, the number and values of arguments, and the holder of the function.
FunctionTemplate: A FunctionTemplate is used to create functions at runtime. There can only be one function created from a FunctionTemplate in a context. The lifetime of the created function is equal to the lifetime of the context. So in case the embedder needs to create temporary functions that can be collected using Scripts is preferred.
GCCallbackFlags: GCCallbackFlags is used to notify additional information about the GC callback.
GCType: Applications can register callback functions which will be called before and after certain garbage collection operations. Allocations are not allowed in the callback functions, you therefore cannot manipulate objects (set or delete properties for example) since it is possible such operations will result in the allocation of objects. TODO(v8:12612): Deprecate kGCTypeMinorMarkSweep after updating blink. Applications can register callback functions which will be called before and after certain garbage collection operations. Allocations are not allowed in the callback functions, you therefore cannot manipulate objects (set or delete properties for example) since it is possible such operations will result in the allocation of objects. TODO(v8:12612): Deprecate kGCTypeMinorMarkSweep after updating blink.
GetPropertyNamesArgs
GetPropertyNamesArgsBuilder
Global: An object reference that is independent of any handle scope. Where a Local handle only lives as long as the HandleScope in which it was allocated, a global handle remains valid until it is dropped.
HandleScope: A stack-allocated class that governs a number of local handles. After a handle scope has been created, all local handles will be allocated within that handle scope until either the handle scope is deleted or another handle scope is created. If there is already a handle scope and a new one is created, all allocations will take place in the new handle scope until it is deleted. After that, new handles will again be allocated in the original handle scope.
HeapSpaceStatistics
HeapStatistics: Collection of V8 heap information.
IndexedPropertyHandlerConfiguration
Int8Array: An instance of Int8Array constructor (ES6 draft 15.13.6).
Int32: A JavaScript value representing a 32-bit signed integer.
Int16Array: An instance of Int16Array constructor (ES6 draft 15.13.6).
Int32Array: An instance of Int32Array constructor (ES6 draft 15.13.6).
Integer: A JavaScript value representing a signed integer.
Isolate: 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.
IsolateHandle: IsolateHandle is a thread-safe reference to an Isolate. It’s main use is to terminate execution of a running isolate from another thread.
Local: An object reference managed by the v8 garbage collector.
Location: A location in JavaScript source.
Map: An instance of the built-in Map constructor (ECMA-262, 6th Edition, 23.1.1).

SideEffectType: Options for marking whether callbacks may trigger JS-observable side effects. Side-effect-free callbacks are allowlisted during debug evaluation with throwOnSideEffect. It applies when calling a Function, FunctionTemplate, or an Accessor callback. For Interceptors, please see PropertyHandlerFlags’s kHasNoSideEffect. Callbacks that only cause side effects to the receiver are allowlisted if invoked on receiver objects that are created within the same debug-evaluate call, as these objects are temporary and the side effect does not escape.
TimeZoneDetection: Time zone redetection indicator for DateTimeConfigurationChangeNotification.
ValueViewData

new_default_platform: Returns a new instance of the default v8::Platform implementation.
new_rust_allocator^⚠: Creates an allocator managed by Rust code.
new_single_threaded_default_platform: The same as new_default_platform() but disables the worker thread pool. It must be used with the –single-threaded V8 flag.
new_unprotected_default_platform: Creates a platform that is identical to the default platform, but does not enforce thread-isolated allocations. This may reduce security in some cases, so this method should be used with caution in cases where the threading guarantees of new_default_platform cannot be upheld (generally for tests).
