      buffer: fix gcc 4.2 build breakage · 157d2bcc
      Ben Noordhuis authored
      gcc 4.2 on OS X gets confused about the call to node::Buffer::Data().
      Fully qualify the function name to help it along.
      
      Fixes the following build error:
      
          ../../deps/v8/include/v8.h: In function ‘char*
          node::Buffer::Data(v8::Handle<v8::Value>)’:

          is not a function,
          ../../src/node_buffer.h:38: error:

      buffer: write strings directly from call · f5e13ae9
      Trevor Norris authored
      Buffer(<String>) used to pass the string to js where it would then be
      passed back to cpp for processing. Now only the buffer object
      instantiation is done in js and the string is processed in cpp.
      
      Also added a Buffer api that also accepts the encoding.

      buffer: implement new fill behavior · 4b403588
      Trevor Norris authored
      Old fill would take the char code of the first character and wrap around
      the int to fit in the 127 range. Now fill will duplicate whatever string
      is given through the entirety of the buffer.
      
      Note: There is one bug around ending on a partial fill of any character
      outside the ASCII range.

      buffer: reimplement Buffer pools · 456942a9
      Trevor Norris authored
      While the new Buffer implementation is much faster we still have the
      necessity of using Buffer pools. This is undesirable because it may
      still lead to unwanted memory retention, but for the time being this is
      the best solution.
      
      Because of this re-introduction, and since there is no more SlowBuffer
      type, the SlowBuffer method has been re-purposed to return a non-pooled
      Buffer instance. This will be helpful for developers to store data for
      indeterminate lengths of time without introducing a memory leak.
      
      Another change to Buffer pools was that they are only allocated if the
      requested chunk is < poolSize / 2. This was done because allocations are
      much quicker now, and it's a better use of the pool.

      buffer: use smalloc as backing data store · 3a2f273b
      Trevor Norris authored
      Memory allocations are now done through smalloc. The Buffer cc class has
      been removed completely, but for backwards compatibility have left the
      namespace as Buffer.
      
      The .parent attribute is only set if the Buffer is a slice of an
      allocation. Which is then set to the alloc object (not a Buffer).
      
      The .offset attribute is now a ReadOnly set to 0, for backwards
      compatibility. I'd like to remove it in the future (pre v1.0).
      
      A few alterations have been made to how arguments are either coerced or
      thrown. All primitives will now be coerced to their respective values,
      and (most) all out of range index requests will throw.
      
      The indexes that are coerced were left for backwards compatibility. For
      example: Buffer slice operates more like Array slice, and coerces
      instead of throwing out of range indexes. This may change in the future.
      
      The reason for wanting to throw for out of range indexes is because
      giving js access to raw memory has high potential risk. To mitigate that
      it's easier to make sure the developer is always quickly alerted to the
      fact that their code is attempting to access beyond memory bounds.
      
      Because SlowBuffer will be deprecated, and simply returns a new Buffer
      instance, all tests on SlowBuffer have been removed.
      
      Heapdumps will now show usage under "smalloc" instead of "Buffer".
      
      ParseArrayIndex was added to node_internals to support proper uint
      argument checking/coercion for external array data indexes.
      
      SlabAllocator had to be updated since handle_ no longer exists.

      smalloc: add api to manually dispose Persistent · 252cdfa4
      Trevor Norris authored
      If the user knows the allocation is no longer needed then the memory can
      be manually released.
      
      Currently this will not ClearWeak the Persistent, so the callback will
      still run.
      
      If the user passed a ClearWeak callback, and then disposed the object,
      the buffer callback argument will == NULL.

      smalloc: initial implementation · 8f3f9f78
      Trevor Norris authored
      smalloc is a simple utility for quickly allocating external memory onto
      js objects. This will be used to centralize how memory is managed in
      node, and will become the backer for Buffers. So in the future crypto's
      SlabBuffer, stream's SlabAllocator will be removed.
      
      Note on the js API: because no arguments are optional the order of
      arguments have been placed to match their cc counterparts as closely as
      possible.

      build: add android support · 5e4e8ec4
      Linus Mårtensson authored
      Resolves minor discrepancies between android and standard POSIX systems.
      In addition, some configure parameters were added, and a helper-script
      for android configuration. Ideally, this script should be merged into
      the standard configure script.
      
      To build for android, source the android-configure script with an NDK
      path:
      
          source ./android-configure ~/android-ndk-r8d
      
      This will create an android standalone toolchain and export the
      necessary environment parameters.
      
      After that, build as normal:
      
          make -j8
      
      After the build, you should now have android-compatible NodeJS binaries.

      string_bytes: use external for large strings · 642ea2b6
      Trevor Norris authored
      When large strings are used they cause v8's GC to spend a lot more time
      cleaning up. In these cases it's much faster to use external string
      resources.
      
      UTF8 strings do not use external string resources because only one and
      two byte external strings are supported.
      
      EXTERN_APEX is the value at which v8's GC overtakes performance.
      
      The following table has the type and buffer size that use to encode the
      strings as rough estimates of the percentage of performance gain from
      this patch (UTF8 is missing because they cannot be externalized).
      
      encoding  128KB    1MB    5MB
      -----------------------------
      ASCII       58%   208%   250%
      HEX         15%    74%    86%
      BASE64      11%    74%    71%
      UCS2         2%   225%   398%
      BINARY    2234%  1728%  2305%
      
      BINARY is so much faster across the board because of using the new v8
      WriteOneByte API.
