Best way to unwrap a v8::Handle from CefV8Value?

[hengchu]

I might not be building v8 as an so correctly? Since my project is actually on a mac, so the output is a dylib. All I did was change add 'component' : 'shared_library' to the variables section in v8/tools/gyp/v8.gyp as suggested by the issue.

Are you linking/loading that same v8 dylib into your application instead of using some other dynamic or statically linked version of v8?

I realized I was linking the same v8 static lib all this time... instead of a shared one. Rebuilding now and hopefully that would work.

Just curious, why does it have to be a shared library instead of a static one?

Also it seems that libcef does contain some v8 symbol already? I don't really understand why it does that since we need to link with the v8 lib anyway?

Different instances of v8 will have separate/different internal state. You need to use the same instance to share the same state.

Finally got it to work today Thank you so much!!

PS: I'd be happy to show people how to do it if anyone else wants to do a similar thing (using cef but still has tight integration with v8).
