+## V8 internals
+
+The hooks to access V8 internals—including GC and statistics—are different across the supported versions of V8, therefore NAN provides its own hooks that call the appropriate V8 methods.

+### NAN_GC_CALLBACK(callbackname)
+
+Use `NAN_GC_CALLBACK` to declare your callbacks for `Nan::AddGCPrologueCallback()` and `Nan::AddGCEpilogueCallback()`. Your new method receives the arguments `v8::GCType type` and `v8::GCCallbackFlags flags`.
+
+```c++
+static Nan::Persistent<Function> callback;
+
+NAN_GC_CALLBACK(gcPrologueCallback) {
+  v8::Local<Value> argv[] = { Nan::New("prologue").ToLocalChecked() };
+  Nan::MakeCallback(Nan::GetCurrentContext()->Global(), Nan::New(callback), 1, argv);
+}
+
+NAN_METHOD(Hook) {
+  callback.Reset(To<Function>(args[0]).ToLocalChecked());
+  Nan::AddGCPrologueCallback(gcPrologueCallback);
+  info.GetReturnValue().Set(info.Holder());
+}
