Fix issue where SlowBuffers couldn't be passed as target to Buffer
copy().
Also included checks to see if Argument parameters are defined before
assigning their values. This offered ~3x's performance gain.
Reject negative offsets in SlowBuffer::MakeFastBuffer(), it allows
the creation of buffers that point to arbitrary addresses.
Reported by Trevor Norris.
Improved assert check order of execution and added additional checks on
parameters to ensure no bad values make it through (e.g. negative offset
values).
Improvements:
* floating point operations are approx 4x's faster
* Now write quiet NaN's
* all read/write on floating point now done in C, so no more need for
lib/buffer_ieee754.js
* float values have more accurate min/max value checks
* add additional benchmarks for buffers read/write
* created benchmark/_bench_timer.js which is a simple library that
can be included into any benchmark and provides an intelligent tracker
for sync and async tests
* add benchmarks for DataView set methods
* add checks and tests to make sure offset is greater than 0
Work around an issue with the glibc malloc() implementation where memory blocks
are never returned to the operating system when they are allocated with brk()
and have overlapping lifecycles.
Fixes #4283.
Fix #4331
Using double negate forces values into 32bit space. Because of this
Math.ceil needs to be used. Since NaN comparisons are always false, use
that to our advantage to return 0 if it is.
Also added two tests to verify the changes.
Encoding failures can be somewhat confusing, especially when they are due to
control flow frameworks auto-filling parameters from the previous step output
values to functions (such as toString and write) that developers don't expect
to take an encoding parameter. By outputting the value as part of the message,
should make it easier to track down these sort of bugs.
This frees us from manually having to copy over functions to SlowBuffer's
prototype (which has bitten us multiple times in the past).
As an added bonus, the `inspect()` function is now shared between Buffer
and SlowBuffer, removing some duplicate code.
Closes #3228.
Prevents alignment issues when people create a typed array from a buffer.
Unaligned loads or stores are less efficent and (on some architectures) unsafe.
Coerce fractional, negative and non-numeric length arguments to numbers.
Fractional numbers are rounded up, negative numbers and non-numeric values
are set to zero.
