Is it possible to make an object immutable in the V8 Javascript Engine? V8 is embedded in a C++ application.
In my case I've created and populated an Array (code is simplified)
auto arr = v8::Array::New(isolate, 10);
for (auto i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
arr->Set(context, i, v8::Integer::New(isolate, i));
}
I'd like to make the resulting object "read-only" (as you might get by calling Object.freeze ) before passing it to a script. One of my script authors got themselves in a confusing situation by trying to re-use this object is a convoluted way, and I'd like to make it harder for this to happen by making the object immutable.
I understand that I can do this in Javascript ( Object.freeze ), but I would like to be able to do it in C++ if possible.
This approach works, although it's a little inelegant. Essentially, I'm calling "Object.freeze" directly in Javascript, as I couldn't find a way to invoke this functionality from C++. I'm less than fluent in V8, so my code may be unnecessarily verbose.
