Fix issue where SlowBuffers couldn't be passed as target to Buffer
copy().
Also included checks to see if Argument parameters are defined before
assigning their values. This offered ~3x's performance gain.
Backport of 16bbecc from master branch. Closes#4633.
Changed types of errors thrown to be more indicative of what the error
represents. Also removed a few unnecessary uses of the v8 fully
quantified typename.

Removed range checks when writing float values, and removed a few
includes and defines. Also updated api docs to reflect that invalid 32
bit float is an unspecified behavior.
Fix an off-by-one error introduced in 9fe3734 that caused a regression
in the default endianness used for writes in DataView::setGeneric().
Fixes#4626.
Due to the nature of asyncronous programming, it's impossible to know
what will run on the next tick. Because of this, it's not correct to
maintain domain stack state between ticks
Since the _fatalException handler is only invoked after the stack is
unwound, once it exits the tick will end. The only reasonable thing to
do in that case is to exit *all* domains.

Reject negative offsets in SlowBuffer::MakeFastBuffer(), it allows
the creation of buffers that point to arbitrary addresses.
Reported by Trevor Norris.
V8 seems to be particularly slow converting an undefined value to false
in BooleanValue.
Revert this when we upgrade to V8 3.17, or whenever the fix discussed
in http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2487 lands in V8.
Improvements:
* floating point operations are approx 4x's faster
* Now write quiet NaN's
* all read/write on floating point now done in C, so no more need for
lib/buffer_ieee754.js
* float values have more accurate min/max value checks
* add additional benchmarks for buffers read/write
* created benchmark/_bench_timer.js which is a simple library that
can be included into any benchmark and provides an intelligent tracker
for sync and async tests
* add benchmarks for DataView set methods
* add checks and tests to make sure offset is greater than 0
The int8_t and uint8_t typedefs on sunos/smartos depend on a number of
compiler directives. Avoid ambiguity and specify signed and unsigned
char explicitly.

Implement load and store swizzling operations. This reduces an unneeded
back and forth between types and additionally keeps the value in the
swappable type until it is swapped. This is important for correctness
when dealing with floating point, to avoid the possibility of loading
the bits of a signaling NaN (because it isn't yet swapped) into the FPU.
This additionally produces better code (comments are mine):
gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)
setValue<double>:
movd %xmm0, %rax ; fp reg -> gen reg
bswapq %rax ; 64-bit byte swap
movq %rax, (%r15,%r12) ; store
Implement swizzling with compiler intrinsics and be aware of the native
endianness to correctly swap on big endian machines.
This introduces a template function to swap the bytes of a value,
and macros for the low level swap (taking advantage of gcc and msvc
intrinsics). This produces code like the following (comments are mine):
gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)
setValue<double>:
movd %xmm0, %rax ; fp reg -> gen reg
bswapq %rax ; 64-bit byte swap
movd %rax, %xmm0 ; gen reg -> fp reg
movq %xmm0, (%r15,%r12) ; store
V8 3.15 has new API functions that let you specify the Isolate. V8 and
node.js generally spend 0.5-3.5% of the time in pthread_getspecific(),
looking up the current Isolate. Avoid that overhead by making "our"
isolate global so we can pass it around. The change to the new API is
introduced in follow-up commits.
Use static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast when casting from void*
to another type.
This is mostly an aesthetic change but may help catch bugs when the
affected code is modified.
