Is it possible to save the current runtime execution in V8 and continue later, between process initializations?

[idleman]

Hi all,

Is it possible to pause the current state in V8 and continue the execution later, between process initializations, so the user can close the program and start it later? Example so the user can restarts its computer without any need to re-run the complete script again. Is it possible?


Thanks in advance!

I asked the same thing before and no one replied. I wouldnt get your hopes up.

Well, in that case there is probably not possible, thanks anyway.

You can suspend a context by effectively not entering it, but you cant "save" the context to disk and then read it and remember its state. You can, however, write a routine that is called on quit that saves any state you are interested in into a flat file (like s ave file) and then have your initialization process read that file and re-initialize certain objects. However, saving the entire environment context is not possible. I actually don't know any language that can do this. (if you know one, let me know)

Well, depends on how it is built. But what bout objects such as functions? How can you dump those? Or classes (ie objects)?
