Generators (TRR 0.12.1, libv8 3.16.14.3)

[retorquere]

I have a bit of code that uses generators:

function* values() {
  for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
    yield arguments[i];
  }
}

var o = values(1, 2, 3);  // => [object Generator]
o.next();

Can therubyracer be configured to support generators?

This could be done, but would require an upgrade to v8, so cannot be done with TRR 0.12,1

My guess is that it would require a decent amount of hacking since generators are probably using a longjmp() at somepoint and so would require care to make sure that the ruby calling contexts were preserved.
