Description
We should aim for 0 floating patches from our side (except cherry-picks of commits that landed upstream).
Here's the list of everything that we currently float on top of V8 10.7:
- deps: V8: forward declaration of Rtl*FunctionTable I don't remember why we have this one. It's quite old, so I opened a PR trying to revert it.
- deps: fix V8 build issue with inline methods This bundles 4 fixes related to inline methods with Windows/MSVC. I think we would actually need a 5th one to fix the MSVC build with Visual Studio 2022 (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/43092). Ideally we would upstream the necessary fixes but I don't know enough of C++/Windows to open a CL that the V8 team would accept.
- deps: V8: fix v8-cppgc.h for MSVC Not sure why this wasn't submitted upstream. Revert tentative: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/45700 Now fixed upstream in https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3533019
- deps: make V8 compilable with older glibc Can we remove this one now? PR: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/45162
- deps: silence irrelevant V8 warning
I often have to do this kind of patches. The problem is that if we keep the deprecation, V8's own headers trigger it and the build fails because of
-Werror. There's probably a better way to handle it but I don't know it. - deps: fix V8 build on SmartOS Still waiting for SmartOS people to upstream the fix. (https://github.com/nodejs/node-v8/issues/239) Fixed upstream in https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/4026402
- deps: fix V8 build on Windows with MSVC Don't know what do to about this one. See discussion in https://github.com/nodejs/node-v8/issues/235
