Hi guys,

I found V8 has a debugging tool called D8, but I don't know how to use
this tool. Is there any specific document?

There is no separate documentation on D8. D8 is a more advanced shell that the one in samples. One of the features of D8 is a text based JavaScript debugger. You will enter the debugger on an uncaught exception or by issuing the 'debugger' statement. The prompt 'dbg>' is shown when in the debugger. Type help for the list of commands. There is currently no way of breaking into running JavaScript. The debugger can be turned off by issuing the option --nodebugger when starting D8.

Regards,
Søren
