Javascript call stack exceeded on call to JSON.parse

[Sridatta]

I'm trying to call the native JSON parser from my v8 extension.
However, when I do this, I get the following error: "Uncaught
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded". My code can be found
here: https://gist.github.com/941668 . Can someone suggest what I'm
doing wrong?

The obvious guess is that the JSON parser, which is recursive, actually exhausts the stack while parsing.

Do you have a link to the module being parsed?

It could also be a bug in using V8 with multiple threads.

I am indeed trying to use V8 from a background thread. Here is a
little more code for context: https://gist.github.com/941913 . (Not
actual code. I simplified it for context).
I want to have a background thread be able to call and access the V8
instance. Is it possible?

Yes.  You have to use the v8::Locker class in both the main thread and the background thread.  It's a class that does its work in the constructor and the destructor.  See include/v8.h for a description of its use.

And when you use it BE SURE to add a Locker instance in your main() BEFORE doing anything with v8 except perhaps calling v8::V8::SetFlagsFromCommandLine(). If you just add it to your callbacks they will crash (in debug mode it tells you you've mis-used the locker, but in non-debug mode it just crashes).
