Calling v8.setFlagsFromString with e.g a function as a flag argument gave no exception or warning that the function call will fail. There is now an exception if the function gets called with the wrong flag type (string is required) or that a flag is expected. v8 flags are only possible as strings.
Other APIs (fs or net) already provide exceptions if the argument has not the expected type.

You can use the slightly more efficient Environment::GetCurrent(args) method here.

if (args.Length() < 1)
return env->ThrowTypeError("v8 flag is required");

Would a RangeError not be more appropriate?

Aren't RangeErrors for integer argument values that are not between some min and max value?

Yes, that might be right, but args.Length() is an integer value that should be between 1 and infinity.

args.Length returns the number of JavaScript arguments that were passed over. It should prevent, that no argument gets passed in. Other io.js APIs handle this special case with a TypeError, too. RangeError typically thrown if e.g. the process.uid is out of the possible range. My main thought was to keep it in sync with the other APIs.

Alright, nevermind then. If the existing code uses TypeError then TypeError it is.

LGTM, thanks; landed in 931a0d4. I changed the commit log a little because v8: is usually the prefix we use for floating patches on top of the bundled V8. Thanks again!
