V8 3.20.9 enforces that external pointers are aligned on a two-byte
boundary.
We cannot portably guarantee that for the source code strings that
tools/js2c.py generates so simply stop using String::NewExternal()
altogether (and by extension String::ExternalAsciiStringResource).
Fixes the following run-time assert:
FATAL ERROR: v8::String::NewExternal() Pointer is not aligned
This prevents the following sort of thing from being confusing:
```javascript
stream.on('data', function() { console.error('got data'); });
stream.pause(); // stop reading
// turns out no data is available
stream.push(null);
// Hand the stream to someone else, who does stuff...
setTimeout(function() {
// too late! 'end' is already emitted!
stream.on('end', function() { console.error('got end'); });
});
```
With this change, the `end` event is not emitted until you call `read()`
*past* the EOF null. So, a paused stream will not swallow the `end`
event and emit it before you `resume()` the stream.
If `obj` given to `cluster._getServer` has `_setServerData` or
`_getServerData` methods, the data will be synchronized across workers
and stored in master.
This incarnation of macros.py is only used to disable the (d)trace
macros. Rename it so it better reflects its purpose. A new macros.py
will be added in a follow-up commit.
Includes:
* No need for `typeof` when checking undefined.
* length is coerced to uint so no need to check if < 0.
* Stay consistent and always throw `new` errors.
* Returning offset + magic number in every write is error prone. Instead
return the central write function which returns the correct offset.
In a rush to implement the fix 35e0d60 I overlooked the logic that
causes 0-length buffer instantiation to automatically not assign the
parent regardless.
SlowBuffer(0) passes NULL instead of doing malloc(0). So when someone
attempted to SlowBuffer(0).slice(0, 1) an assert would fail in
smalloc::SliceOnto.
It's important that the check go where it is because the resulting
Buffer needs to have external array data allocated. In the case a user
tries to slice a zero length Buffer it will also have NULL passed as the
data argument.
Also fixed where the .parent attribute was set for zero length Buffers.
There is no need to track the source of slice if the slice isn't
actually occurring.
Closes#5860
In streams2, there is an "old mode" for compatibility. Once switched
into this mode, there is no going back.
With this change, there is a "flowing mode" and a "paused mode". If you
add a data listener, then this will start the flow of data. However,
hitting the `pause()` method will switch *back* into a non-flowing mode,
where the `read()` method will pull data out.
Every time `read()` returns a data chunk, it also emits a `data` event.
In this way, a passive data listener can be added, and the stream passed
off to some other reader, for use with progress bars and the like.
There is no API change beyond this added flexibility.
Just forward declare struct sockaddr, the struct is never actually
dereferenced in src/node_internals.h.
Before this commit, it included sys/socket.h but that header doesn't
exist on Windows.
Libuv now returns errors directly. Make everything in src/ and lib/
follow suit.
The changes to lib/ are not strictly necessary but they remove the need
for the abominations that are process._errno and node::SetErrno().
Prep work for removing process._errno. The handle.getsockname() function
will return a status code in the future and set the address and port
properties on the object that's passed in from JS land.
Commit 636ca7c adds an optimization that casts strong Persistent<T>
handles directly to Local<T> handles to avoid the overhead of creating
new HandleScope-rooted Local<T> handles all the time.
One gotcha that I missed is that it's no longer legal to reference the
Local<T> after calling Persistent<T>::Dispose(). This commit addresses
that.
Helps catch bugs early on. Without it, V8 throws the fairly
unhelpful exception "TypeError: undefined is not a function" -
unhelpful because there is no stack trace.
It will be confusing if later on we add Buffer#dispose(), and smalloc is
its own cpp api anyways. So instead create a new require('smalloc') to
expose the previous Buffer.alloc/dispose methods, and expose copyOnto
and kMaxLength as well.
Other changes:
* Added documentation and additional tests.
* smalloc::CopyOnto has changed from using assert() to throwing errors
on bad argument values because it is not exposed to the user.
* Minor style fixes.
When using url.parse(), path and pathname usually return '/' when there
is no path available. However when you have a protocol that contains
non-lowercase letters and the input string does not have a trailing
slash, both path and pathname will be undefined.
The Streams API doc is now broken up into 3 sections:
1. API for Consumers
2. API for Implementors
3. Details and Extras
This addresses one of the biggest points of confusion for new users who
start to consume streams, and get the impression that they have to do
lots of extra work and implement classes and such, just to get some data
out of a file.
