# Becoming a V8 committer

## What is a committer?

Technically, a committer is someone who has write access to the V8 SVN repository. A committer can submit his or her own patches or patches from others.
Technically, a committer is someone who has write access to the V8 Git repository. A committer can submit his or her own patches or patches from others.

This privilege is granted with some expectation of responsibility: committers are people who care about the V8 project and want to help meet its goals. A committer is not just someone who can make changes, but someone who has demonstrated his or her ability to collaborate with the team, get the most knowledgeable people to review code, contribute high-quality code, and follow through to fix issues (in code or tests).

In the unhappy event that a committer continues to disregard good citizenship (or actively disrupts the project), we may need to revoke that person's status. The process is the same as for nominating a new committer: someone suggests the revocation with a good reason, two people second the motion, and a vote may be called if consensus cannot be reached. I hope that's simple enough, and that we never have to test it in practice.

# Introduction
# Runtime functions

Much of the JavaScript library is implemented in JavaScript code itself,
using a minimal set of C++ runtime functions callable from JavaScript.
Some of these are called using names that start with %, and using the flag
"--allow-natives-syntax". Others are only called by code generated by the
code generators, and are not visible in JS, even using the % syntax.

Here are the V8 runtime functions, their JS names, if they are visible,
and their documentation.

# Introduction
# V8 C++ Style Guide

In general, V8 should conform to Google's/Chrome's C++ Style Guide for new code that is written. Your V8 code should conform to them as much as possible. There will always be cases where Google/Chrome Style Guide conformity or Google/Chrome best practices are extremely cumbersome or underspecified for our use cases. We document these exceptions here.

## Basic commit guidelines

When you're committing to the V8 repositories, ensure that you follow those guidelines:

So, here are some guidelines to help clarify the process:
1. When a patch author requests more than one reviewer, they should make clear in the review request email what they expect the responsibility of each reviewer to be. For example, you could write this in the email:
```
a. larry: bitmap changes
b. sergey: process hacks
c. everybody else: FYI
```
* larry: bitmap changes
* sergey: process hacks
* everybody else: FYI
1. In this case, you might be on the review list because you've asked to be in the loop for multiprocess changes, but you wouldn't be the primary reviewer and the author and other reviewers wouldn't be expecting you to review all the diffs in detail.
1. If you get a review that includes many other people, and the author didn't do (1), please ask them what part you're responsible for if you don't want to review the whole thing in detail.
1. The author should wait for approval from everybody on the reviewer list before checking in.
1. People who are on a review without clear review responsibility (i.e. drive-by reviews) should be super responsive and not hold up the review. The patch author should feel free to ping them mercilessly if they are.
1. If you're an "FYI" person on a review and you didn't actually review in detail (or at all), but don't have a problem with the patch, note this. You could say something like "rubber stamp" or "ACK" instead of "LGTM." This way the real reviewers know not to trust that you did their work for them, but the author of the patch knows they don't have to wait for further feedback from you. Hopefully we can still keep everybody in the loop but have clear ownership and detailed reviews. It might even speed up some changes since you can quickly "ACK" changes you don't care about, and the author knows they don't have to wait for feedback from you.
