Is it possible/reasonable to compile @fridadotre with V8 in 2026? (I just reported a couple of QuickJS bugs that are blockers for me)
If so, are there any documentation available about the build process or is that knowledge lost to bitrot?

@fridadotre Thanks for the prompt reply! Is this true for the gadget too? I tried to supply a config with "runtime":"v8" but hit the same bugs. If the v8 support is there in the official release gadgets I just have to figure out why my config isn't applied (or maybe the bugs affect both paths). -

@buherator it is also suported in the gadget. Feel free to drop some details about the specific bug, if that’s the case, sounds like the problem is not tied to the js runtime

@fridadotre Thank you for the additional info! I already opened #1096 and #1097 in frida-gum, hope they will be useful!
Right now I'm trying to fingerprint the runtime based on JS behavior (e.g. `console.log(gc.toString())`) but neither gadget configs nor `frida --runtime` seem to have any effect.
Update: It seems in V8 `gc.toString()` doesn't have newlines -
