This patch makes buffers the preferred output for fs.read() and
fs.readSync(). The old string interface is still supported by
converting buffers to strings dynamically. This allows to remove the
C++ code for string handling which is also part of this patch.
There is a difference between errors which happen to a socket - like
receiving EPIPE - an exceptional situation but ultimately okay and the
situation where code throws in a callback - which is not okay.
Fixes test/simple/test-http-exceptions.js
TODO: explain this in docs.
Previously path.dirname('/tmp') incorrectly returned '.'.
Unfortunately module.js incorrectly thinks dirname('/a/b/') should
yield '/a/b', so I can't strip trailing slashes yet. Once module.js
is fixed, then the commented-out code should be activated and a test
written for it.
This patch makes buffers the preferred input for fs.write() and
fs.writeSync(). The old string interface is still supported by
converting strings to buffers dynamically. This allows to remove the
C++ code for string handling which is also part of this patch.
Taking a performance hit on 'hello world' benchmark by enabling this by
default, but I think it's worth it. Hopefully we can improve performance by
resetting the timeout less often - ideally a 'hello world' benchmark would
only touch the one timer once - if it runs in less than 2 seconds. The rest
should be just link list manipulations.
- setTimeout should active the timeout too. (test-net-set-timeout tests
this.)
- 'timeout' event is not automatically followed by an 'error' event. That
is the user is now responsible for destroying the stream if there is an
idle timeout.
In ab068db9b1 this test was broken because (I
think) compile/run errors are set to crash the program instead of being
passed back.
Error reporting is more important than remote loading. Disabling until there
is a fix
- No more single line "node.js:176:9" errors
- No more strange output when error happens on first line due to
module wrapper function.
- A few tests to check these things
and furthermore error out of one of them isn't a DNS option.
