This is a rather large refactor! Mostly for the better side. I've had to
remove some functionality like req.interrupt(). A lot of other work is left
messy or incomplete.
The constructor for TCP servers can no longer take a connection handler for
purely technical reasons. (The constructor for EventEmitter is implemented
in C++ but addListener is in javascript, and I don't want to make too many
C++ -> Javascript references.) Thus I introduce new constructor methods to
ease the creation of the servers:
node.tcp.createServer()
node.http.createServer()
These work almost the same as the old constructors.
In general we're working towards a future where no constructors are
publicly exposed or take arguments.
The HTTP events like "on_uri" are not yet using the event interface.
onMessage still is a constructor - but this will change soon.
This requires that onExit() is not called immediately upon receiving a
SIGCHLD. There could still be data in the pipez. So, instead just set a
flag and invoke the pipe watchers.
Sometimes one will not receive an EOF from pipes because the process was
killed by a SIGTERM, or something. If SIGCHLD has been recved but we are
getting EAGAIN, the pipez need to be closed too.
onExit() is similar to the onLoad() callback. onExit() is called on each
module just before the process exits. This can be used to check state in
unit tests, but not to perform I/O. The process will forcibly exit as soon
as all of the onExit callbacks are made.
There is one major API change in the refactor: filename extensions are now
required when requiring or including modules.
Added extra test to test-module-loading.js.
The error codes still remain for the two general file system operations:
rename and stat.
Additionally I've removed the actionQueue for file system operations. They
are sent directly into the thread pool.
