There was previously an assert() in there, but this part of the code is
so high-volume that the added cost made a measurable dent in http_simple.
Just checking inline is fine, though, and prevents a lot of potential
hazards.
Say that a stream's current read queue has 101 bytes in it, and the
underlying resource has ended (ie, reached EOF).
If you do something like this:
stream.read(100); // leave a byte behind
stream.read(0); // read(0) for some reason
then the read(0) will get 0 from the howMuchToRead function. Since the
stream was ended, this was incorrectly treating the 0 as a "there is no
more in the buffer", and emitting 'end' before that last byte was read.
Why have the read(0) in the first place? We do this in some cases to
trigger the last few bytes of a net socket (such as a child process's
stdio pipes). This was causing issues when piping a `git archive` job
to a file: the resulting tarball was incomplete, because it occasionally
was not getting the last chunk.
Remove compiler switches from $(TOPLEVEL)/deps/v8/build/common.gypi,
we set them globally in $(TOPLEVEL)/common.gypi.
Commit 7b4d95a introduced the switches again, resulting in V8 getting
built without any optimizations.
This commit is essentially a rehash of commit 4b8629d.
The int8_t and uint8_t typedefs on sunos/smartos depend on a number of
compiler directives. Avoid ambiguity and specify signed and unsigned
char explicitly.
Fixes the following build error:

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
