create a function ToCString to convert V8::String to const char *

use namespace v8;
const char* ToCString(const String::Utf8Value& value) {
  return *value ? *value : "<string conversion failed>";
}

Usage:

void InsertCodeBarWrapper(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args){
    Isolate* isolate = args.GetIsolate();

    Local<Function> cb = Local<Function>::Cast(args[1]);
    String::Utf8Value str(args[0]);
    const char* bar = ToCString(str);
    const unsigned argc = 1;
    Local<Value> argv[argc] = { CSGPCommander::InsertCodeBar(bar) };
    cb->Call(isolate->GetCurrentContext()->Global(), argc, argv);
}
