扩展V8 JavaScript引擎

Question

http://docs.python.org/2/extending/ I have some experience with extending/embedding the python interpreter. I also know some of the tools that make this easier like cython.

Now I am curious about doing the same with Google's V8 engine. I am more interested about extending it but didn't find much information about doing this.

Can anyone recommend further reading? Do tools exist that make this easier?

Short Answer : no.

Long Answer: Since one language is being compiled by the other, debuggers will intrinsically have a hard time crossing the language barrier. Instead, I strongly recommend you perform exhaustive unit testing, especially when you consider that JavaScript is loosely typed and C++ is strongly typed. That difference alone may cause or save headaches when developing extensions.
