assert.fail() has two possible function signatures, both of which are
not intuitive. It virtually guarantees that people who try to use
assert.fail() without carefully reading the docs will end up using it
incorrectly.
This change maintains backwards compatibility with the two valid uses
(arguments 1 2 and 4 supplied but argument 3 falsy, and argument 3
supplied but arguments 1 2 and 4 all falsy) but also adds the far more
intuitive first-argument-only and first-two-arguments-only
possibilities.
assert.fail('boom');
// AssertionError: boom

Add support for abi stable module API (N-API) as "Experimental feature".
The goal of this API is to provide a stable Node API for native
module developers. N-API aims to provide ABI compatibility guarantees
across different Node versions and also across different
Node VMs - allowing N-API enabled native modules to just work
across different versions and flavors of Node.js without recompilation.
A more detailed introduction is provided in:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/blob/master/005-ABI-Stable-Module-API.md
and https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/blob/doc/VM%20Summit.pdf.
The feature, during its experimental state, will be guarded by a runtime
flag "--napi-modules". Only when this flag is added to the command line
will N-API modules along with regular non N-API modules be supported.
The API is defined by the methods in "src/node_api.h" and
"src/node_api_types.h". This is the best
starting point to review the API surface. More documentation will follow.
In addition to the implementation of the API using V8, which is included
in this PR, the API has also been validated against chakracore and that
port is available in
https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/api-prototype-chakracore-8.x.
The current plan is to provide N-API support in versions 8.X and 6.X
directly. For older versions, such as 4.X or pre N-API versions of 6.X,
we plan to create an external npm module to provide a migration path
that will allow modules targeting older Node.js versions to use the API,
albeit without getting the advantage of not having to recompile.
In addition, we also plan an external npm package with C++ sugar to
simplify the use of the API. The sugar will be in-line only and will
only use the exported N-API methods but is not part of the N-API
itself. The current version is in:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-api.
This PR is a result of work in the abi-stable-node repo:
https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/doc,

assert.deepEqual and assert.deepStrictEqual currently return true for
any pair of Maps and Sets regardless of content. This patch adds
support in deepEqual and deepStrictEqual to verify the contents of Maps
and Sets.
Deeo equivalence checking is currently an
O(n^2) operation, and worse, it gets slower exponentially if maps
and sets were nested.
Note that this change breaks compatibility with previous versions of
deepEqual and deepStrictEqual if consumers were depending on all maps
and sets to be seen as equivalent. The old behaviour was never
documented, but nevertheless there are certainly some tests out there
which depend on it.
Support has stalled because the assert API was frozen, but was recently
unfrozen in CTC#63.
---
Later squashed in:
This change updates the checks for deep equality checking on Map and Set
to check all set values / all map keys to see if any of them match the
expected result.
This change is much slower, but based on the conversation in the pull
request its probably the right approach.
