AsyncListener is a JS API that works in tandem with the AsyncWrap class
to allow the user to be alerted to key events in the life cycle of an
asynchronous event. The AsyncWrap class has its own MakeCallback
implementation that core will be migrated to use, and uses state sharing
techniques to allow quicker communication between JS and C++ whether the
async event callbacks need to be called.
Profiling suggested that on Linux sometimes over 10% of CPU time was
being spent inside the systemtap probe entry points in the binding
layer, even when the process was not actively being traced with the
`stap` tool.
That's why this commit makes it possible to use the *_ENABLED() macros
and bail out early when we're not being traced, reducing the overhead
of unused probes to (almost) zero.
Said macros were already being generated by `dtrace -h` but were not
usable because they rely on external definitions. To remedy that, we
now generate the accompanying object files with `dtrace -G`.
This commit includes a change to libuv that has been landed upstream in
commit joyent/libuv@3c172ea.
Currently fs.watch does not have an option to specify if a directory
should be recursively watched for events across all subdirectories.
Several file watcher APIs support this. FSEvents on OS X > 10.5 is
one example. libuv has added support for FSEvents, but fs.watch had
no way to specify that a recursive watch was required.
fs.watch now has an additional boolean option 'recursive'. When set
to true, and when supported, fs.watch will return notifications for
the entire directory tree hierarchy rooted at the specified path.
There was no need to share state between C++ and JS for these two
values. So they have been moved to their respective locations. This will
help performance only a tiny bit, but it does help code complexity much
more.
We need to keep ObjectWrap around for module authors (we think), but
v8 3.21 broke node_object_wrap.h with respect to MSVC. Coincidentally,
we no longer use ObjectWrap at all in core, and native modules might
as well use their own entirely internal implementation if they need it.
Turns out that we don't use node_object_wrap.h any more in core,
and, with v8 3.21, it's breaking our Windows build. Removing refs
to it everywhere (and adding node.h in one case where it was the
only way node.h was being included), we have restored the Windows
build.
Previous behaviour was to drop to an openssl prompt
("Enter PEM pass phrase:") when supplying a private key with a
passphrase. This change adds a fourth, optional, paramter that
will be used as the passphrase.
To include this parameter in a backwards compatible way it was
necessary to expose the previously undocumented (and unexposed)
feature of being able to explitly setting the output encoding.
This addresses a current shortcoming of the V8 SetNamedPropertyHandler
function.
It does not provide a way to intercept Object.defineProperty(..) calls.
As a result, these properties are not copied onto the contextified
sandbox when a new global property is added via either a function
declaration or a Object.defineProperty(global, ...) call.
Note that any function declarations or Object.defineProperty() globals
that are created asynchronously (in a setTimeout, callback, etc.) will
happen AFTER the call to copy properties, and thus not be caught.
The way to properly fix this is to add some sort of a
Object::SetNamedDefinePropertyHandler() function that takes a callback,
which receives the property name and property descriptor as arguments.
Luckily, such situations are rare, and asynchronously-added globals
weren't supported by Node's VM module until 0.12 anyway. But, this
should be fixed properly in V8, and this copy function should be removed
once there is a better way.
Fix#6416
The list of supported HTTP methods is available in JS land now so there
is no longer any need to pass a stringified version of the method to the
parser callback, it can look up the method name for itself.
Saves a call to v8::Eternal::Get() in the common case and a costly
v8::String::NewFromOneByte() in the uncommon case.
Before this commit, the SIGUSR1 signal handler wasn't installed until
late in the bootstrapping process and we were prone to miss signals
sent by other processes.
This commit installs an early-boot signal handler that merely records
the fact that we received a signal. Once the debugger infrastructure
is in place, the signal is re-raised, kickstarting the debugger.
Among other things, this means that simple/test-debugger-client is
now _much_ less likely to fail.
Commit 30e5366b ("core: Use a uv_signal for debug listener") changed
SIGUSR1 handling from a signal handler to libuv's uv_signal_*()
functionality to fix a race condition (and possible hang) in the
signal handler.
While a good change in itself, it made it impossible to interrupt
long running scripts. When a script is stuck in a busy loop, control
never returns to the event loop, which in turn means the signal
callback - and therefore the debugger - is never invoked.
This commit changes SIGUSR1 handling back to a normal signal handler
but one that treads _very_ carefully.
Because it's possible for the data within a Buffer instance to be
altered after instantiation, or in case a user attempts to do something
like the following:
Buffer.prototype.fill.call({}, 10, 0, 10);
It doesn't result in a segfault.
This change makes several improvements to the ustack helper and MDB
support:
- ustack helper and MDB: add support for two-byte strings
(necessary to print many filenames in stacktraces in 0.10 and later).
- ustack helper: fix position numbers, which were off by a factor of two
- ustack helper: fix frames with undefined Scripts (e.g., "RegExp")
- ustack helper: add stub frames
- MDB: add support for sliced strings
- MDB: sync up with changes from the illumos version of the module
Fixes#6309Closes#6318
Mea culpa, I didn't properly resolve a merge conflict in the last two
commits. The resulting segmentation fault only happened on Linux and
only sometimes.
Fixes#6306.
The previous commit changes the profiler idle notifier so that it only
gets started when a --prof or --prof_lazy argument is specified on the
command line.
This commit adds two internal methods to the process object that allows
one to start and stop the idle notifier programmatically.
The previous commit adds a notifier that tells the V8 profiler when
node.js is idle, i.e. when it's about to start sleeping in the
platform's equivalent of epoll_wait().
This commit adds a heuristic that only starts the notifier when the
V8 profiler is started from the command line.
Inform V8's CPU profiler when we're idle. The profiler is
sampling-based but not all samples are created equal; mark the wall
clock time spent in epoll_wait() and friends so profiling tools can
filter it out. The samples still end up in v8.log but with state=IDLE
rather than state=EXTERNAL.
Drop the ObjectWrap dependency in favor of an internal WeakObject class.
Let's us stop worrying about API and ABI compatibility when making
changes to the way node.js deals with weakly persistent handles
internally.
