This is not a bug in process.mixin, but I think it is undesirable
behavior. Right now process.mixin will not copy over keys with undefined
values. To me that is an unexpected filtering that should not happen
unless specifically called for.
Bug #1 occurred when trying to use process.mixin on a function and
produced a fatal exception.
Bug #2 occurred when trying to do a deep merge with an object containing
one or more objects with a nodeType property. In those cases the deep
copy for this part of the object was not performed and a shallow one was
performed instead.
Both of these bugs were artifacts of the jQuery.extend port.
At the same time implement synchronous wrappers of the POSIX functions.
These will be undocumented until we settle on an API. Works like this
// returns promise as before
posix.mkdir("test").addCallback(function () {
sys.puts("done");
});
// returns undefined, executed synchronously.
posix.mkdirSync("test");
sys.puts("done");
This refactoring is a step towards allowing promises to be implemented
purely in javascript.
No longer based on Ragel, but hand-written.
Had to add HTTPConnection.resetParser() because the parser is stricter and
will error out when you try to give it a message after the previous had
"Connection: close". The HTTP client was doing that. Thus we reset the
parser manually after each new connection.
Promise.timeout() was blocking the event loop from shutting down while it
was waiting for an internal timer to fire. This timer is now cleared when
it is no longer needed, causing the event loop to shut down as fast as
possible.
