V8 version to upgrade to

[Nupoor Kotasthane]

We are planning to upgrade V8 for our next release. We are currently on version 6.7. It looks like that the current stable release is 8.3.  Is this a good version to upgrade to? Any significant incompatibilities from version 6.7 that we should be aware of?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Also, we used gcc 7.3 on Linux and Visual Studio 2017 on Windows to compile V8 version 6.7 last time. Are these compilers still okay to compile V8 version 8.3?

Hi,

The API changed quite a bit since 6.7, you can find the major changes in this document.

Note that after 7.7 the changes are only minor and should be easy to handle.

We recently upgraded from 6.2 to the latest version. Apart from the API changes, you must also understand the building toolset changed as well with the latest source code. Previously we used gyp toolset to compile the project. Now it has to be GN with Ninja etc.. 

As part of integrating with latest version, I captured a few details which I can share with you if you are interested. So you know whats to expect when upgrading the version. 

Thanks

Hi Elangovan,

Sure. It would be great if you can share some details. Is there a limitation on which version of gcc to use on Linux?

Thanks,

Nupoor
