Jason Ginchereau	468275ac79	n-api: remove napi_get_value_string_length() This API doesn't serve much purpose, and is only likely to cause confusion and bugs. The intention was that this would return the number of characters in a string independent of encoding, but that's not generally useful. In almost all cases, one of the encoding-specific napi_get_value_string_* APIs is more correct. (Pass a null buffer if only the encoded length is desired.) Anyway the current implementation of napi_get_value_string_length() is technically wrong: it returns the number of 2-byte code units of the UTF-16 encoding, but there are actually some characters that are encoded as two UTF-16 code units. Note the JavaScript String.prototype.length property returns the number of UTF-16 code units, which may be different from the number of characters. So, getting the true character count is not common with JavaScript, and is probably best left to specialized internationalization libraries.

Taylor Woll	ca786c3734	n-api: change napi_callback to return napi_value Change `napi_callback` to return `napi_value` directly instead of requiring `napi_set_return_value`. When we invoke the callback, we will check the return value and call `SetReturnValue` ourselves. If the callback returns `NULL`, we don't set the return value in v8 which would have the same effect as previously if the callback didn't call `napi_set_return_value`. Seems to be a more natural way to handle return values from callbacks. As a consequence, remove `napi_set_return_value`. Add a `napi_value` to `napi_property_descriptor` to support string values which couldn't be passed in the `utf8name` parameter or symbols as property names. Class names, however, cannot be symbols so this `napi_value` must be a string type in that case. Remove all of the `napi_callback_info` helpers except for `napi_get_cb_info` and make all the parameters to `napi_get_cb_info` optional except for argc. Update all the test collateral according to these changes. Also add `test/addons-napi/common.h` to house some common macros for wrapping N-API calls and error handling.

Jason Ginchereau	56e881d0b0	n-api: add support for abi stable module API Add support for abi stable module API (N-API) as "Experimental feature". The goal of this API is to provide a stable Node API for native module developers. N-API aims to provide ABI compatibility guarantees across different Node versions and also across different Node VMs - allowing N-API enabled native modules to just work across different versions and flavors of Node.js without recompilation. A more detailed introduction is provided in: https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/blob/master/005-ABI-Stable-Module-API.md and https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/blob/doc/VM%20Summit.pdf. The feature, during its experimental state, will be guarded by a runtime flag "--napi-modules". Only when this flag is added to the command line will N-API modules along with regular non N-API modules be supported. The API is defined by the methods in "src/node_api.h" and "src/node_api_types.h". This is the best starting point to review the API surface. More documentation will follow. In addition to the implementation of the API using V8, which is included in this PR, the API has also been validated against chakracore and that port is available in https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/api-prototype-chakracore-8.x. The current plan is to provide N-API support in versions 8.X and 6.X directly. For older versions, such as 4.X or pre N-API versions of 6.X, we plan to create an external npm module to provide a migration path that will allow modules targeting older Node.js versions to use the API, albeit without getting the advantage of not having to recompile. In addition, we also plan an external npm package with C++ sugar to simplify the use of the API. The sugar will be in-line only and will only use the exported N-API methods but is not part of the N-API itself. The current version is in: https://github.com/nodejs/node-api. This PR is a result of work in the abi-stable-node repo: https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/doc, with this PR being the cumulative work on the api-prototype-8.x branch with the following contributors in alphabetical order: Author: Arunesh Chandra <arunesh.chandra@microsoft.com> Author: Gabriel Schulhof <gabriel.schulhof@intel.com> Author: Hitesh Kanwathirtha <hiteshk@microsoft.com> Author: Ian Halliday <ianhall@microsoft.com> Author: Jason Ginchereau <jasongin@microsoft.com> Author: Michael Dawson <michael_dawson@ca.ibm.com> Author: Sampson Gao <sampsong@ca.ibm.com> Author: Taylor Woll <taylor.woll@microsoft.com> PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11975 Reviewed-By: Anna Henningsen <anna@addaleax.net> Reviewed-By: James M Snell <jasnell@gmail.com>	8 years ago
