in v8_initiliazer.cc in chromium `v8::V8::Initialize();` is invoked after flags
set:
  v8::V8::InitializePlatform(vp);

  ...
  if (IsolateHolder::kStrictMode == mode) {
    static const char use_strict[] = "--use_strict";
    v8::V8::SetFlagsFromString(use_strict, sizeof(use_strict) - 1);
  }
  ...
  v8::V8::Initialize();

did/can you make sure the order you've used is not important here?

Good catch! Actually this particular flag is used only when a compilation of a
script is called, namely for us it's when JsEngine::Evaluate is called, so the
current order is fine. Actually I have taken the order from
https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/src/d8.cc. However, in both d8.cc (call of
Shell::SetOptions) and in the code of v8 I see that some flags should be set
before v8::V8::Initialize();. So, to simplify the catching of potential bugs
when we decide to add new flags I have moved setting of the flags even before
creation of a platform, as it's done in d8.cc.

+      std::string cmd = "--use_strict";
+      v8::V8::SetFlagsFromString(cmd.c_str(), cmd.length());
     }

       v8::V8::Dispose();

       delete platform;
     }
     v8::Platform* platform;
