This is a particularly weird fix and I ask that @nodejs/lts @nodejs/ctc @nodejs/v8 all take a look and make sure that I'm not off here.

While auditing a backport we were digging into a V8 change that apparantly landed in v6.x during the upgrade to V8 5.1 in cd77ca3, a backport of ofrobots@33c9578

Unfortunately that commit didn't change anything other than the patch number of V8 as the to change had already landed in v6.x as 92ecbc4

This wouldn't be an issue, except for the fact that neither of these commits backported the exact changeset from the V8 tracker, specifically the changes to deps/v8/build/standalone.gypi . The change is instead found inside of toolchain.gypi with no explanation as to why this was done.

The original backport ofrobots@33c9578 also references the wrong commit sha from V8, but that is pretty minor compared to missing part of the change set.

Phew.

So this PR attempts to rectify everything, as long as there is anything that actually needs to be rectified. To be honest I am a bit confused by the subtle difference. If I am mistaken and the changeset that we currently have is what we want I will close this, but we should try to avoid landing V8 changes without the proper meta data going forward so we can avoid confusion like this.

LGTM. It's odd the patch in v6.x deviates from the original but it's also fairly harmless.

I still don't understand the full sequence of events, but this is mostly harmless. On V8 master the force_dynamic_crt variable initialization is in toolchain.gypi. LGTM, no strong feelings either way.

LGTM . given that this improves consistently across releases.

Original commit message:

[build] Add force_dynamic_crt option to build a static library with /…
…MD on windows

Adds option to build a V8 library statically, but with the options on
windows that allows it to be subsequently included in another DLL. On
Windows this is required for it to correclty link against the correct
C++ runtime. Require for our Node.js shared library build.

UGHHHH

this is failing on v4.x with the error

gyp: name 'force_dynamic_crt' is not defined while evaluating condition 'component=="shared_library" or force_dynamic_crt==1' in /Users/thealphanerd/code/node/v4.x/deps/v8/tools/gyp/v8.gyp while loading dependencies of /Users/thealphanerd/code/node/v4.x/node.gyp while trying to load /Users/thealphanerd/code/node/v4.x/node.gyp
Error running GYP

Likely need another patch to get this to work. Will open backport specific for v4
