Option bits for jerry_parse and jerry_parse_function functions:
- JERRY_PARSE_NO_OPTS - no options passed
- JERRY_PARSE_STRICT_MODE - enable strict mode
Set garbage collection operational mode
- JERRY_GC_SEVERITY_LOW - free unused objects
- JERRY_GC_SEVERITY_HIGH - free as much memory as possible
The difference between JERRY_GC_SEVERITY_LOW and JERRY_GC_SEVERITY_HIGH
is that the former keeps memory allocated for performance improvements such
as property hash tables for large objects. The latter frees all possible
memory blocks but the performance may drop after the garbage collection.
Flags for jerry_generate_snapshot and jerry_generate_function_snapshot functions:
- JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE_STATIC - generate static snapshot (see below)
- JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE_STRICT - strict source code provided
Generate static snapshots
Snapshots contain literal pools, and these literal pools contain references
to constant literals (strings, numbers, etc.). When a snapshot is executed,
these literals are converted to jerry values and the literal pool entries
are changed to their corresponding jerry value. To support this conversion,
the literals and literal pools are copied into RAM even if the
JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA option is passed to
jerry_exec_snapshot. This non-negligible memory
consumption can be avoided by using static snapshots. The literals of
these snapshots are limited to magic strings and 28 bit signed integers,
so their constant pools do not need to be loaded into the memory.
Hence these snapshots can be executed from ROM.
Important note: The jerry_exec_snapshot
function rejects static snaphots unless the JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_ALLOW_STATIC
option bit is set. The caller must also ensure that the same magic
strings are set by jerry_register_magic_strings
when the snapshot is generated and executed. Furthermore the
JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA option is not allowed.
Flags for jerry_exec_snapshot and jerry_load_function_snapshot functions:
- JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA - copy snapshot data into memory (see below)
- JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_ALLOW_STATIC - allow executing static snapshots
Copy snapshot data into memory
By default the snapshot buffer is expected to be present in memory until
jerry_cleanup is called. For example static const buffers
compiled into the application binary satisfy this requirement.
If the snapshot buffer is freed after jerry_exec_snapshot
is called the JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA must be passed to copy the necessary
parts of the snapshot buffer into memory.
The JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA option is not allowed for static snapshots.

Prototype

Prototype
typedef uint32_t jerry_length_t;Summary
JerryScript value can be a boolean, number, null, object, string or undefined. The value has an error flag, that indicates whether is an error or not. Every type has an error flag not only objects. The error flag should be cleared before the value is passed as an argument, otherwise it can lead to a type error. The error objects created by API functions has the error flag set.
Prototype
typedef uint32_t jerry_value_t;Summary
Structure that defines how a context data item will be initialized and deinitialized. JerryScript zeroes out the memory
for the item by default, and if the init_cb field is not NULL, it will be called with the pointer to the memory as
an additional custom initializer. The deinit_cb (if non-NULL) is called during a call to jerry_cleanup () to run
any custom deinitialization before the VM has been fully cleaned up. The finalize_cb (if non-NULL) is also called
during a call to jerry_cleanup () to run any custom deinitialization after the VM has been fully cleaned up.

Native free callback of an object. It is used in jerry_object_native_info_t.
Prototype
typedef void (*jerry_object_native_free_callback_t) (void *native_p);Summary
The type information of the native pointer. It includes the free callback that will be called when associated JavaScript object is garbage collected. It can be left NULL in case it is not needed.
Typically, one would create a static const jerry_object_native_info_t for
each distinct C type for which a pointer is used with
jerry_set_object_native_pointer () and jerry_get_object_native_pointer ().
This way, each const jerry_object_native_info_t * pointer address value itself
uniquely identifies the C type of the native pointer.
See jerry_get_object_native_pointer for a best-practice code example.

Callback which tells whether the ECMAScript execution should be stopped. If it returns with undefined value the ECMAScript execution continues. Otherwise the result is thrown by the engine (if the error flag is not set for the returned value the engine automatically sets it). The callback function might be called again even if it threw an error. In this case the function must throw the same error again.

Summary
Retrieve a pointer to the item stored within the current context by the given manager.
Note: Since internally the pointer to a manager's context data item is linked to the next such pointer in a linked list, it is inadvisable to invoke too many different managers, because doing so will increase the time it takes to retrieve a manager's context data item, degrading performance. For example, try to keep the number of managers below five.

Create (api) abort from a value.
This function creates an API abort value from an API value. The second argument defines
whether the input value must be released or not. If it is set to true,
then a jerry_release_value function will be called
for the first argument, so the api value won't be available after the call of
jerry_create_abort_from_value. The second argument should be false if both value
and created abort value are needed.

Summary
Returns the type of the Error object if possible.
If a non-error object is used as the input for the function the method
will return JERRY_ERROR_NONE indicating that the value was not
an Error object. However it is still possible that the value contains
error semantics. To correctly detect if a value have error use the
jerry_value_is_error method.

Summary
Get the value from an error.
Many API functions cannot be called with an error value.
This function extracts the API value from an error. The second argument defines
whether the input error value must be released or not. If it is set to true,
then a jerry_release_value function will be called
for the first argument, so the error value won't be available after the call of
jerry_get_value_from_error. The second argument should be false if both error
and its represented value are needed.
Note: Returned value must be freed with jerry_release_value when it is no longer needed.

Summary
Get native pointer and its type information. The pointer and the type information are previously associated with the object by jerry_set_object_native_pointer.
Note: It is recommended to ensure that the out_native_info_p value pointer
is equal to the native info pointer that is expected, before casting
and accessing the out_native_pointer_p.
An example of when this is important: external functions that expect
this to have a native pointer of a certain C type.
It is possible in JavaScript to change this at will – using call(),
apply() or bind(). Therefore, it is possible that the native pointer
of this is not of the expected C type. To handle this safely and
securely, one must always add type checks to make sure that the
out_native_pointer_p is of the expected type, before casting
and dereferencing out_native_pointer_p.
Note: out_native_pointer_p and out_native_info_p can be NULL, and it means the
caller doesn't want to get the native_pointer or type information.

Summary
When JERRY_FEATURE_VM_EXEC_STOP is enabled a callback function can be specified by this function. This callback is periodically called when JerryScript executes an ECMAScript program.
If the callback returns with undefined value the ECMAScript execution continues. Otherwise the result is thrown by the engine (if the error flag is not set for the returned value the engine automatically sets it). The callback function might be called again even if it threw an error. In this case the function must throw the same error again.
To reduce the CPU overhead of constantly checking the termination
condition the callback is called when a backward jump is executed
or an exception is caught. Setting the frequency to a greater
than 1 value reduces this overhead further. If its value is N
only every Nth event (backward jump, etc.) trigger the next check.
