DTrace on Linux should not be enabled by default because not all systems will
have the proper headers installed. Only enable when --with-dtrace is passed to
the configure script.
`url.format` should escape ? and # chars in pathname, and # chars in
search, because they change the semantics of the operation otherwise.
Don't escape % chars, or anything else. (see: #4082)
Inform V8 that the zlib context object is tied to a large off-heap buffer.
This makes the GC run more often (in theory) and improves the accuracy of
--trace_external_memory.
In zlibBuffer(), don't wait for the garbage collector to reclaim the zlib memory
but release it manually. Reduces memory consumption by a factor of 10 or more
with some workloads.
Test case:
function f() {
require('zlib').deflate('xxx', g);
}
function g() {
setTimeout(f, 5);
}
f();
Observe RSS memory usage with and without this commit. After 10,000 iterations,
RSS stabilizes at ~35 MB with this commit. Without, RSS is over 300 MB and keeps
growing.
Cause: whenever the JS object heap hits the high-water mark, the V8 GC sweeps
it clean, then tries to grow it in order to avoid more sweeps in the near
future. Rule of thumb: the bigger the JS heap, the lazier the GC can be.
A side effect of a bigger heap is that objects now live longer. This is harmless
in general but it affects zlib context objects because those are tied to large
buffers that live outside the JS heap, on the order of 16K per context object.
Ergo, don't wait for the GC to reclaim the memory - it may take a long time.
Fixes#4172.
The gyp target node_etw didn't list its output dependencies. This
was causing virgin builds to fail with a "failed to open file for
write" error.
With this corrected outputs list, gyp reliably pre-creates
required output directories.
Remove compiler switches from $(TOPLEVEL)/deps/v8/build/common.gypi, we set
them globally in $(TOPLEVEL)/common.gypi.
Commit 29d12c73 accidentally reintroduced the switches again. In particular,
the 'cflags!': ['-O2','-Os'] section forced building V8 without any
optimizations, resulting in a steep (~66%) performance drop on some benchmarks.
Fixes#4191.
This is a flag to make it easier for users to upgrade through the
breaking crypto change, and easier for us to switch it back if it's a
problem.
Explicitly set default encoding to 'buffer' in other tests, in case it
ever changes back.
crypto: Hash and Hmac default to buffers
crypto: Move Cipher encoding logic to JS
crypto: Move Cipheriv encoding logic to JS
crypto: Move Decipher encoding logic to JS
crypto: Move Decipheriv into JS, default to buffers
crypto: Move Sign class to JS
crypto: Better encoding handling in Hash.update
crypto: Move Verify class to JS
crypto: Move DiffieHellman to JS, default to buffers
crypto: Move DiffieHellmanGroup to JS, default to buffers
Also, create a test for this feature
