I dynamically link in debug builds for the speed benefit, but for production deployments it is vastly easier to manage a statically-linked binary.
Moreover, if v8 is dynamically linking to a different C++ standard library / runtime than my main app, that is likely to cause some subtle problems since the two runtimes will be maintaining separate state. Dynamic linking only masks the issue. -Kenton On Friday, September 8, 2017 at 2:57:33 PM UTC-7, Zac Hansen wrote: > > I don't have an answer for your specific question, but I highly recommend > dynamically linking to V8. if nothing else it speeds up link times by > quite a bit, from what I remember from a while ago when I switched over. > > On Friday, September 8, 2017 at 8:52:17 AM UTC-7, Kenton Varda wrote: >> >> Hi v8-users, >> >> My C++ server app statically links against v8. >> >> My build broke when updating from 6.0 to 6.1.
