do we need a copy in every env ?

ie could we share one copy across all envs ?

That brings back the question of what prompts the creation of a new env? Currently it is the loading of a module. But should it be a new isolate?

Also, how likely is this to be a large waste of memory? I mean, are we going to have tons of native modules loaded all at once?

I guess when there really start to appear multiple isolates (or whatever keys meaning "this JS world and not the other" because "this v8::Local<v8::Value> is only valid in this world") then we can re-examine our choice of one env per module, because the problem will have been solved upstream and we need only follow suit. We might then introduce a std::map keyed to whatever the engine then provides, or we may have a better mechanism for tacking data onto such a key and we'll once again cast.

... and we can do all this without breaking any ABI, since it's purely within our implementation.

I just wondered if the exact same code, except that having has_instance be static would work. The cache would be created the first time an env was created. The only concern was whether this could happen in parallel, but given Node.js generally single thread nature that may not be an issue.

@mhdawson because eventually the env will be keyed to some kind of context, and we are preparing ourselves for that. Otherwise last_exception could also be static - and it used to be, and the env was precisely equal to the isolate. The problem is we can't currently tack onto the isolate because there is no reliable mechanism for that, so we're instantiating an environment per module.

So, yes, it would work perfectly, and it's only our desire to be proactive that prompted us to implement this solution.

ok, got it.
