creating inline native calls

[Trevor Norris]

I was just perusing the v8 source and I ran across its ability to inline native calls. For example, Math.random() basically follows the following execution chain:

Math.random() - math.js

  RandomHeapNumber - runtime.h

    HGraphBuilder::GenerateRandomHeapNumber - hydrogen.cc

Interested, I kept looking around and realized that Math.random is basically a set of assembly instructions located in places like src/x64/full-codegen.cc.

What I'm wondering is if it's possible to emulate the same behavior from an embedded application?

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that currently. And it seems that exposing platform dependency to the embedder is a bad idea.
