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.
Instead of destroying sockets when there are no pending requests, put
them in a freeSockets list, and unref() them so that they do not keep
the event loop open.
Also, set the default max sockets to Infinity, to prevent the awful
surprising deadlocks that happen when more connections are made.
When creating a slice, make sure to propagate the originating parent.
This is to prevent a buf.parent.parent.(etc) scenario.
Also speed up the constructor by preventing lookup of non-existant
properties by setting them beforehand in the prototype. (see
https://github.com/joyent/node/commit/7ce5a31#commitcomment-3332779)
If a transform stream has objectMode = true, it should
allow falsey values other than (null) like 0, false, ''.
null is reserved to indicate stream eof but other falsey
values should flow through properly.
Assert that when the client closes it has seen an error, this prevents
the test from timing out.
Also queue a second write in the case that we were able to send the
buffer before the other side closed the connection.
There was previously up to a second exit delay when exiting node
right after an http request/response, due to the utcDate() function
doing a setTimeout to update the cached date/time.
Fixing this should increase the performance of our http tests.

Most TryCatch blocks have SetVerbose flag on, this tells V8 to report
uncaught exceptions to debugger.
FatalException handler is called from V8 Message listener instead from
the place where TryCatch was used. Otherwise uncaught exceptions are
logged twice.
See comment in `deps/v8/include/v8.h` for explanation of SetVerbose
flag:
> By default, exceptions that are caught by an external exception
> handler are not reported. Call SetVerbose with true on an
> external exception handler to have exceptions caught by the
> handler reported as if they were not caught.
The flag is used by `Isolate::ShouldReportException()`, which is called
by `Isolate::DoThrow()` to decide whether an exception is considered
uncaught.
Old fill would take the char code of the first character and wrap around
the int to fit in the 127 range. Now fill will duplicate whatever string
is given through the entirety of the buffer.
Note: There is one bug around ending on a partial fill of any character
outside the ASCII range.
Memory allocations are now done through smalloc. The Buffer cc class has
been removed completely, but for backwards compatibility have left the
namespace as Buffer.
The .parent attribute is only set if the Buffer is a slice of an
allocation. Which is then set to the alloc object (not a Buffer).
The .offset attribute is now a ReadOnly set to 0, for backwards
compatibility. I'd like to remove it in the future (pre v1.0).
A few alterations have been made to how arguments are either coerced or
thrown. All primitives will now be coerced to their respective values,
and (most) all out of range index requests will throw.
The indexes that are coerced were left for backwards compatibility. For
example: Buffer slice operates more like Array slice, and coerces
instead of throwing out of range indexes. This may change in the future.
The reason for wanting to throw for out of range indexes is because
giving js access to raw memory has high potential risk. To mitigate that
it's easier to make sure the developer is always quickly alerted to the
fact that their code is attempting to access beyond memory bounds.
Because SlowBuffer will be deprecated, and simply returns a new Buffer
instance, all tests on SlowBuffer have been removed.
Heapdumps will now show usage under "smalloc" instead of "Buffer".
ParseArrayIndex was added to node_internals to support proper uint
argument checking/coercion for external array data indexes.
SlabAllocator had to be updated since handle_ no longer exists.
If the user knows the allocation is no longer needed then the memory can
be manually released.
Currently this will not ClearWeak the Persistent, so the callback will
still run.
If the user passed a ClearWeak callback, and then disposed the object,
the buffer callback argument will == NULL.
smalloc is a simple utility for quickly allocating external memory onto
js objects. This will be used to centralize how memory is managed in
node, and will become the backer for Buffers. So in the future crypto's
SlabBuffer, stream's SlabAllocator will be removed.
Note on the js API: because no arguments are optional the order of
arguments have been placed to match their cc counterparts as closely as
possible.
Split `tls.js` into `_tls_legacy.js`, containing legacy
`createSecurePair` API, and `_tls_wrap.js` containing new code based on
`tls_wrap` binding.
Remove tests that are no longer useful/valid.
This reverts commit a40133d10c.
Unfortunately, this breaks socket.io. Even though it's not strictly an
API change, it is too subtle and in too brittle an area of node, to be
done in a stable branch.

Normalize the encoding in getEncoding() before using it. Fixes a
"AssertionError: Cannot change encoding" exception when the caller
mixes "utf8" and "utf-8".
Fixes#5655.
This is only relevant for CentOS 6.3 using kernel version 2.6.32.
On other linuxes and darwin, the `read` call gets an ECONNRESET in that
case. On sunos, the `write` call fails with EPIPE.
However, old CentOS will occasionally send an EOF instead of a
ECONNRESET or EPIPE when the client has been destroyed abruptly.
Make sure we don't keep trying to write or read more in that case.
Fixes#5504
However, there is still the question of what libuv should do when it
gets an EOF. Apparently in this case, it will continue trying to read,
which is almost certainly the wrong thing to do.
That should be fixed in libuv, even though this works around the issue.
In cases where there are multiple @-chars in a url, Node currently
parses the hostname and auth sections differently than web browsers.
This part of the bug is serious, and should be landed in v0.10, and
also ported to v0.8, and releases made as soon as possible.
The less serious issue is that there are many other sorts of malformed
urls which Node either accepts when it should reject, or interprets
differently than web browsers. For example, `http://a.com*foo` is
interpreted by Node like `http://a.com/*foo` when web browsers treat
this as `http://a.com%3Bfoo/`.
In general, *only* the `hostEndingChars` should be the characters that
delimit the host portion of the URL. Most of the current `nonHostChars`
that appear in the hostname should be escaped, but some of them (such as
`;` and `%` when it does not introduce a hex pair) should raise an
error.
We need to have a broader discussion about whether it's best to throw in
these cases, and potentially break extant programs, or return an object
that has every field set to `null` so that any attempt to read the
hostname/auth/etc. will appear to be empty.
In some cases, the http CONNECT/Upgrade API is unshifting an empty
bodyHead buffer onto the socket.
Normally, stream.unshift(chunk) does not set state.reading=false.
However, this check was not being done for the case when the chunk was
empty (either `''` or `Buffer(0)`), and as a result, it was causing the
socket to think that a read had completed, and to stop providing data.
This bug is not limited to http or web sockets, but rather would affect
any parser that unshifts data back onto the source stream without being
very careful to never unshift an empty chunk. Since the intent of
unshift is to *not* change the state.reading property, this is a bug.
Fixes#5557FixesLearnBoost/socket.io#1242
Removes the check for maxTickDepth for non-domain callbacks. So a user
can starve I/O by setting a recursive nextTick.
The domain case is more complex and will be addressed in another commit.
Previous code was calling uv_loop_delete() directly on a running loop,
which led to race condition aborts/segfaults within libuv. This change
changes the watchdog thread to call uv_run() with UV_RUN_ONCE so that
the call exits after either the timer times out or uv_async_send() is
called from the main thread in Watchdog::Destroy(). The timer/async
handles are then closed and uv_run() with UV_RUN_DEFAULT is called so
that libuv has a chance to cleanup before the thread exits. The main
thread meanwhile calls uv_thread_join() and then uv_loop_delete() to
complete the cleanup.
Before this, entering something like:
> JSON.parse('066');
resulted in the "..." prompt instead of displaying the expected
"SyntaxError: Unexpected number"
Stream's `._write()` callback should be invoked only after it's opposite
stream has finished processing incoming data, otherwise `finish` event
fires too early and connection might be closed while there's some data
to send to the client.
see #5544
When writing bad data to EncryptedStream it'll first get to the
ClientHello parser, and, only after it will refuse it, to the OpenSSL.
But ClientHello parser has limited buffer and therefore write could
return `bytes_written` < `incoming_bytes`, which is not the case when
working with OpenSSL.
After such errors ClientHello parser disables itself and will
pass-through all data to the OpenSSL. So just trying to write data one
more time will throw the rest into OpenSSL and let it handle it.
Otherwise, writing an empty string causes the whole program to grind to
a halt when piping data into http messages.
This wasn't as much of a problem (though it WAS a bug) in 0.8 and
before, because our hyperactive 'drain' behavior would mean that some
*previous* write() would probably have a pending drain event, and cause
things to start moving again.
