Attilla,

Thanks for the reply. I might end up giving it a shot. Once I dig in there I'll probably have a few questions for you if you don't mind helping me get up to speed a bit.

Thanks again,

bobby

No, it's not -- sorry about that. I never got proper amount of time to work on it, and what is in the repository is pretty much in "scratchpad" phase. Additionally, protocol documentation is both incomplete and outdated (at least it was when I last looked at it), so best I could do was reverse-engineering the protocol from its client-side code from ChromeDevTools Java source and V8 C++ source; quite daunting and slowing progress. And then there are impedance mismatches you'll inevitably run into - the protocol exposes a lot of implementation-specific V8 bits that don't have direct equivalents in Rhino (i.e. internal object handles, some stack constructs, etc.). All-in-all, it's a hard task. I estimate that if I could only work on this full time, I would probably need around two months to fully implement it. So, if anyone else wants to give it a shot, feel free to.

Attila.

Hi all,


I saw that there was some work being done by Attila Szegedi on making Rhino talk the v8 debugger protocol, so I checked out the stuff at dynalang, but it doesn't seem to be in a compilable state (missing files, methods)- is there something more up-to-date somewhere else, or has someone else done something similar?

Thanks!

Bobby
