v8::Isolate::New null access violation


I'm using V8 32-bit Version 4.10.253 compiled with Visual Studio 2015.

I'm trying to run the example that Google has at: Chrome V8 - Getting Started

But when I try to run it, I get:

Exception thrown at 0x00000000 in V8Test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 
violation executing location 0x00000000.

I get this when the following is executed:

Isolate* isolate = Isolate::New(create_params);

My project settings:

To get the project to compile in debug, I set the runtime library to:

Multi-threaded Debug /MTd.

I include the v8 include directory under additional include directories.

Lastly, I include the following libraries:

icuuc.lib icui18n.lib v8_libplatform.lib v8_external_snapshot.lib
v8_base_3.lib v8_base_2.lib v8_base_1.lib v8_base_0.lib v8_libbase.lib
winmm.lib

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Ok, I feel stupid. I didn't finish reading the rest of the tutorial. You must copy all the .bin files where your executable is stored. Specifically:

    natives_blob.bin
    snapshot_blob.bin
    

    V8 will crash at Isolate::New if you do not.
