This is ever so slightly less efficient than caching based on ID, since the
filename has to be looked up before we can check the cache. However, it's
the most minimal approach possible to get this change in place. Since
require() is a blocking startup-time operation anyway, a bit of slowness is
not a huge problem.
A test involving require.paths modification and absolute loading. Here's the
gist of it.
Files: /p1/foo.js /p2/foo.js
1. Add "/p1" to require.paths.
2. foo1 = require("foo")
3. assert foo1 === require("/p1/foo") (fail)
4. Remove /p1 from require.paths.
5. Add /p2 to require.paths.
6. foo2 = require("foo")
7. assert foo1 !== foo2 (fail)
8. assert foo2 === require("/p2/foo") (fail)
It's an edge case, but it affects how dependencies are mapped by npm.
If your module requires foo-1.2.3, and my module requires foo-2.3.4,
then you should expect to have require("foo") give you foo-1.2.3, and
I should expect require("foo") to give me foo-2.3.4. However, with
module ID based caching, if your code loads *first*, then your "foo"
is THE "foo", so I'll get your version instead of mine.
It hasn't yet been a problem, but only because there are so few
modules, and everyone pretty much uses the latest version all the
time. But as things start to get to the 1.x and 2.x versions, it'll
be an issue, I'm sure. Dependency hell isn't fun, so this is a way to
avoid it before it strikes.
Done by not evaluating the code in the first tick.
This breaks one test in test-error-reporting.js but I believe this to be a
V8 error and I have reported it in

- Concatenate 'accept', 'accept-charset', 'accept-encoding',
'accept-language', 'connection', 'cookie', and 'x-*' headers.
- For all others, drop duplicates.
- Adds new dgram module, for all data-gram type transports
- Supports both UDP client and servers
- Supports Unix Daemon sockets in DGRAM mode too (think syslog)
- Uses a shared Buffer and slices that as needed to be reasonably
performant.
- One supplied test program so far, test-dgram-pingpong
- Passes test cases on osx 10.6 and ubuntu 9.10u
a) create a layer of indirection in net.Stream to allow swapping in
different read/write implementations and
b) emit an 'fd' event when file descriptors are received over a UNIX pipe,
as finally as a tangential benefit
c) remove a bunch of conditionals from the primary codepaths for
ease-of-reading.
