Could some one please tell why without isolate_scope I get exception?

[Pankaj Chhabra]

I have a method in DLL that calls using V8 C++ myMethod of myClass instance. If I don't call isolate_scope, the is a crash after making around 100 calls to myMethod, I get an exception 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000000. When I call isolate_scope, the exception does not happen even for 1 million calls.

There is one isolate only. I have already called isolate_scope in initialization
  isolate = Isolate::New(create_params);
  Isolate::Scope isolate_scope(isolate);
       
Could some one please tell why without isolate_scope I get exception after making 100 or so calls to myMethod?

Are you keeping the isolate_scope alive while calling your method?

V8 requires that you have a live Isolate::Scope while you're using it.

Some parts of V8 may work without it but others definitely won't, and you can't/shouldn't disable the parts that won't.

I suspect that after ~100 calls is when you first encounter the parts of V8 that need an Isolate::Scope.

I am keeping the scope alive while calling the method. Your point that some parts require the isolate::Scope seems right and this is the reason it works.
