For example, to cross-compile from my OS X laptop for Raspberry Pi, you would
do something like:
$ make binary BINARYNAME=node-v`python tools/getnodeversion.py`-linux-arm-pi \
DESTCPU=arm CONFIG_FLAGS="--dest-os=linux"
This also slightly changes the semantics, in that a 'readable'
event may be triggered by the first write() call, even if a
user has not yet called read().
This happens because the Transform _write() handler is calling
read(0) to start the flow of data. Technically, the new behavior
is more 'correct', since it is more in line with the semantics
of the 'readable' event in other streams.
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
When switching into compatibility mode by setting `data` event listener,
`_read()` method will be called immediately. If method implementation
invokes callback in the same tick - all emitted `data` events will be
discarded, because `data` listener wasn't set yet.
Raise a TypeError when the argument to send() or sendto() is anything
but a Buffer.
Fixes the following assertion:
$ node -e 'require("dgram").createSocket("udp4").send("BAM")'
node: ../../src/udp_wrap.cc:220: static v8::Handle<v8::Value>
node::UDPWrap::DoSend(const v8::Arguments&, int): Assertion
`Buffer::HasInstance(args[0])' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Fixes#4496.
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.
The test was failing in debug mode because the timeouts were set too
low. Fix that by increasing the timeouts. Admittedly not a great fix.
If this test keeps playing up, it's probably best to remove it.
Fixes#4528.
