From c39aafece0995a608aace362e761b78a4025fdd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gahaas Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2024 09:54:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Small cleanups (#740) The description said that V8 can be executed standalone, which is incorrect. V8 always needs an embedder, and d8 is just one of the embedders of V8. Moreover, the versions of operating systems got removed. Chrome does not support Windows 7 anymore, so V8 probably also does not support Windows 7 anymore. Since we don't keep the version numbers on v8.dev up to date, it's better to just remove them. Additionally the first-party support for Mips was removed. --- src/docs/index.md | 2 +- src/index.njk | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/docs/index.md b/src/docs/index.md index 3a0c268af..c92adcddb 100644 --- a/src/docs/index.md +++ b/src/docs/index.md @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ This documentation is aimed at C++ developers who want to use V8 in their applic ## About V8 -V8 implements ECMAScript and WebAssembly, and runs on Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.12+, and Linux systems that use x64, IA-32, or ARM processors.

V8 compiles and executes JavaScript source code, handles memory allocation for objects, and garbage collects objects it no longer needs. V8’s stop-the-world, generational, accurate garbage collector is one of the keys to V8’s performance. diff --git a/src/index.njk b/src/index.njk index 86dfb4d21..fc5c2d834 100644 --- a/src/index.njk +++ b/src/index.njk @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ description: 'V8 is Google’s open source high-performance JavaScript and WebAs ---

What is V8?

-

V8 is Google’s open source high-performance JavaScript and WebAssembly engine, written in C++. It is used in Chrome and in Node.js, among others. It implements ECMAScript and WebAssembly, and runs on Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.12+, and Linux systems that use x64, IA-32, ARM, or MIPS processors. V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.
