Is there any way to use v8pp without v8::Isolate data slot?

There is no available v8::Isolate data slot in Electron.
(All the slots are in use.)

// NodeDebugger is stored in Isolate's data, slots 0, 1, 3 have already been
// taken by gin, blink and node, using 2 is a safe option for now.
const int kIsolateSlot = 2;

Well, I was afraid this moment would come :-)

I use a data slot in V8 to store a pointer to a list of registered classes class_instances. This list should be global, especially when we have several shared libraries which use v8pp.

Consider a first.dll with a class Base exposed to V8, and second.dll with a class Derived which is inherited from Base. Both Base and Derived classes should be registered in the same class_instances list.

I need to think either how to store class_instances aside of V8 isolate data slot.

@h2so5 I've pushed changes as v1.2.0. Since this version v8pp doesn't use a data slot in v8::Isolate. To register shared classes in several projects which use v8pp, a macro V8PP_ISOLATE_DATA_SLOT should be defined in those projects.

@pmed Excellent! Thank you for your quick action 😺
