Fixes a 4 byte leak on handles closing. AKA The Walmart leak.
MakeCallback doesn't have a HandleScope. That means the callers scope
will retain ownership of created handles from MakeCallback and related.
There is by default a wrapping HandleScope before uv_run, if the caller
doesn't have a HandleScope on the stack the global will take ownership
which won't be reaped until the uv loop exits.
If a uv callback is fired, and there is no enclosing HandleScope in the
cb, you will appear to leak 4-bytes for every invocation. Take heed.

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.
This commit makes it possible to use multiple V8 execution contexts
within a single event loop. Put another way, handle and request wrap
objects now "remember" the context they belong to and switch back to
that context when the time comes to call into JS land.
This could have been done in a quick and hacky way by calling
v8::Object::GetCreationContext() on the wrap object right before
making a callback but that leaves a fairly wide margin for bugs.
Instead, we make the context explicit through a new Environment class
that encapsulates everything (or almost everything) that belongs to
the context. Variables that used to be a static or a global are now
members of the aforementioned class. An additional benefit is that
this approach should make it relatively straightforward to add full
isolate support in due course.
There is no JavaScript API yet but that will be added in the near
future.

From commit 756ae2c all the WRAP/UNWRAP were moved to a single location
for ease of use. In a single location NO_ABORT should have been used but
wasn't. This caused HandleWrap::Close to abort. Below is the applicable
code change as demonstration there was no abort specified when
unwrapping the object.
void HandleWrap::Close(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) {
HandleScope scope(node_isolate);
- HandleWrap *wrap = static_cast<HandleWrap*>(
- args.This()->GetAlignedPointerFromInternalField(0));
+ HandleWrap* wrap;
+ UNWRAP(args.This(), HandleWrap, wrap);
Also included a test that will reproduce the abort.
* Change calls to String::New() and String::NewSymbol() to their
respective one-byte, two-byte and UTF-8 counterparts.
* Add a FIXED_ONE_BYTE_STRING macro that takes a string literal and
turns it into a v8::Local<v8::String>.
* Add helper functions that make v8::String::NewFromOneByte() easier to
work with. Said function expects a `const uint8_t*` but almost every
call site deals with `const char*` or `const unsigned char*`. Helps
us avoid doing reinterpret_casts all over the place.
* Code that handles file system paths keeps using UTF-8 for backwards
compatibility reasons. At least now the use of UTF-8 is explicit.
* Remove v8::String::NewSymbol() entirely. Almost all call sites were
effectively minor de-optimizations. If you create a string only once,
there is no point in making it a symbol. If you are create the same
string repeatedly, it should probably be cached in a persistent
handle.
This is a big commit that touches just about every file in the src/
directory. The V8 API has changed in significant ways. The most
important changes are:
* Binding functions take a const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<T>& argument
rather than a const v8::Arguments& argument.
* Binding functions return void rather than v8::Handle<v8::Value>. The
return value is returned with the args.GetReturnValue().Set() family
of functions.
* v8::Persistent<T> no longer derives from v8::Handle<T> and no longer
allows you to directly dereference the object that the persistent
handle points to. This means that the common pattern of caching
oft-used JS values in a persistent handle no longer quite works,
you first need to reconstruct a v8::Local<T> from the persistent
handle with the Local<T>::New(isolate, persistent) factory method.
A handful of (internal) convenience classes and functions have been
added to make dealing with the new API a little easier.
The most visible one is node::Cached<T>, which wraps a v8::Persistent<T>
with some template sugar. It can hold arbitrary types but so far it's
exclusively used for v8::Strings (which was by far the most commonly
cached handle type.)
Fix a NULL pointer dereference in src/handle_wrap.cc which is really a
use-after-close bug.
The test checks that unref() after close() works on process.stdout but
this bug affects everything that derives from HandleWrap. I discovered
it because child processes would sometimes quit for no reason (that is,
no reason until I turned on core dumps.)
All compile time warnings about using deprecated APIs have been
suppressed by updating node's API. Though there are still many function
calls that can accept Isolate, and still need to be updated.
node_isolate had to be added as an extern variable in node.h and
node_object_wrap.h
Also a couple small fixes for Error handling.
Before v8 3.16.6 the error stack message was lazily written when it was
needed, which allowed you to change the message after instantiation.
Then the stack would be written with the new message the first time it
was accessed. Though that has changed. Now it creates the stack message
on instantiation. So setting a different message afterwards won't be
displayed.
This is not a complete fix for the problem. Getting error without any
message isn't very useful.
* process._getActiveHandles() returns a list containing all active handles
(timers, sockets, etc.) that have not been unref'd.
* process._getActiveRequests() returns a list of active requests (in-flight
actions like connecting to a remote host, writing data to a socket, etc.).
It was decided that the performance benefits that isolates offer (faster spin-up
times for worker processes, faster inter-worker communication, possibly a lower
memory footprint) are not actual bottlenecks for most people and do not outweigh
the potential stability issues and intrusive changes to the code base that
first-class support for isolates requires.
Hence, this commit backs out all isolates-related changes.
Good bye, isolates. We hardly knew ye.
This makes it so that the stdin TTY-wrap stream gets ref'ed on
.resume() and unref'ed on .pause()
The semantics of the names "pause" and "resume" are a bit weird, but the
important thing is that this corrects an API change from 0.4 -> 0.6
which made it impossible to read from stdin multiple times, without
knowing when it might end up being closed. If no one has it open, this
lets the process die naturally.
