=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides an XS wrapper to call V8 from Perl.
The wrapper is used in an OO way: you create an instance of
C<JavaScript::V8::XS> and then invoke functions on it.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
This module requires that recent versions of the V8 and ICU libraries have
already been installed in your system.
At the time of writing, versions used were V8 6.7 and ICU 61.
The module does not attempt to download / install these required external
dependencies:
=over 4
=item * header files
=item * shared libraries
=item * V8 blobs, usually generated at compilation time (C<natives_blob.bin>
and C<snapshot_blob.bin>)
=item * ICU data files (C<icudtl.dat>)

=head1 METHODS/ATTRIBUTES
=head2 new
Create a new instance of C<JavaScript::V8::XS>. You can give an optional
hashref with a set of desired options; they can be:
=head3 gather_stats
The XS object will gather statistics about elapsed time and memory usage for
several of its operations. You can then retrieve the stats by calling
C<get_stats>.
=head3 save_messages
Any message printed to the JavaScript console will instead be saved in a
hashref, where each key represents a "target" for the message (for example,
C<stdout> or C<stderr>). You can then retrieve the messages by calling
C<get_msgs>.
=head2 set
Give a value to a given JavaScript variable or object slot.
The Perl value is converted into an equivalent JavaScript value, so you can
freely pass nested structures (hashes of arrays of hashes) and they will be
handled correctly.
You can also pass a Perl coderef as a value, in which case the named JavaScript
variable / object slot becomes a function which, when executed, will end up
calling the Perl coderef. Any values passed from JavaScript into the Perl
coderef will be properly converted into equivalent Perl values; likewise, any
values returned from the Perl coderef back to JavaScript will be also converted
into equivalent JavaScript values.
=head2 get
Get the value stored in a JavaScript variable or object slot.
The JavaScript value is converted into an equivalent Perl value, so you can
freely pass nested structures (hashes of arrays of hashes) and they will be
handled correctly.
=head2 remove
Remove a JavaScript variable or object slot.
=head2 exists
Checks to see if there is a value stored in a JavaScript variable or object
slot. Returns a boolean and avoids all JavaScript to Perl value conversions.
=head2 typeof
Returns a string with the JavaScript type of a given variable. Possible
returned values are C<undefined>, C<null>, C<boolean>, C<number>, C<string>,
C<array>, C<object>, C<symbol>, C<function>, C<pointer>.
This method returns C<null> for null values, which fixes the long-standing
JavaScript bug of returning C<object> for null values.
=head2 instanceof
Returns a true value when the variable given by the first parameter is an
instance of the class given by the second parameter.
=head2 eval
Run a piece of JavaScript code, given as a string, and return the results.
After running the code, wait until all timers (if any) have been dispatched.
For now the XS object will both compile and run the JavaScript code when this
method is invoked; in the future this might be split into separate functions.
Any returned values will be treated in the same way as a call to C<get>.
=head2 dispatch_function_in_event_loop
Run a JavaScript function inside an event loop, and wait until all timers have
been dispatched. The argument is the function name.
If the function name is 'X', this is equivalent to running the following piece
of JavaScript code:
setTimeout(function() { X(); }, 0);
=head2 get_stats
Return a hashref with the statistics gathered as a result of creating the XS
object with option C<gather_stats> set to true.
=head2 reset_stats
Reset the accumulated statistics, as if the XS object had just been created.
=head2 get_msgs
Return a hashref with the messages collected as a result of creating the XS
object with option C<save_messages> set to true.
=head2 reset_msgs
Reset the accumulated messages, as if the XS object had just been created.
=head2 global_objects
Get an arrayref with the names of all global objects known to JavaScript.
=head2 parse_js_stacktrace
Parse a JavaScript stacktrace (usually returned via C<get_msgs>) and obtain
structured information from it. For each of the number of frames requested
(default to 1), it gets the error message, the file name and line number where
the error happened, and an array of lines surrounding the actual error message.
The optional third parameter is an arrayref containing names of files that
should be treated as top priority, meaning any errors pointing to those files
will appear first in the returned stacktrace information.
=head2 run_gc
Run at least one round of the JavaScript garbage collector, and return the
number of rounds that were effectively run.
=head2 get_version_info
Return a hashref with version information.
