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.

Turns out that we don't use node_object_wrap.h any more in core,
and, with v8 3.21, it's breaking our Windows build. Removing refs
to it everywhere (and adding node.h in one case where it was the
only way node.h was being included), we have restored the Windows
build.
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.

* Exit with an error message when the option is not a node or V8 option.
* Remove the option_end_index global. Needs to happen anyway for
the multi-context work, might as well land it in master now.
* Add a smidgen of const-correctness.
* Pay off a few years of accrued technical debt.
* 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.
Libuv now returns errors directly. Make everything in src/ and lib/
follow suit.
The changes to lib/ are not strictly necessary but they remove the need
for the abominations that are process._errno and node::SetErrno().
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.)
Most TryCatch blocks have SetVerbose flag on, this tells V8 to report
uncaught exceptions to debugger.
FatalException handler is called from V8 Message listener instead from
the place where TryCatch was used. Otherwise uncaught exceptions are
logged twice.
See comment in `deps/v8/include/v8.h` for explanation of SetVerbose
flag:
> By default, exceptions that are caught by an external exception
> handler are not reported. Call SetVerbose with true on an
> external exception handler to have exceptions caught by the
> handler reported as if they were not caught.
The flag is used by `Isolate::ShouldReportException()`, which is called
by `Isolate::DoThrow()` to decide whether an exception is considered
uncaught.
Commit 0bba5902 accidentally (or maybe erroneously) added node_isolate
to src/node.h and src/node_object_wrap.h.
Undo that, said variable is not for public consumption. Add-on authors
should use v8::Isolate::GetCurrent() instead.
I missed that while reviewing. Mea culpa.
Fixes#5639.
While libuv supports reporting subsecond stat resolution across
platforms, to actually get that resolution your platform and filesystem
must support it (not HFS, ext[23], fat), otherwise the nsecs are 0
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.
mainly to allow native addons to export single functions on
rather than being restricted to operating on an existing
object.
Init functions now receive exports as the first argument, like
before, but also the module object as the second argument, if they
support it.

The purpose of this file was to remap the old libeio API to the new one.
We dropped libeio in ee77a6a and this file has been broken ever since.
Ergo, remove it.
Bump NODE_MODULE_VERSION so old modules won't load without recompiling when
the next major release (v0.10) comes out.
This is necessary because the ABI changes between major releases.
No one has complained about it so far but I'm sure MSVC doesn't like things
like __attribute__((unused)). Include the libev and libeio shims only on
non-Windows platforms.
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.
defines cannot be used if the callback is a templated and has
multiple template arguments. The comma separating the arguments
breaks the preprocessor argument handling. Using a templated function
is clearer and more idiomatic in c++.
