This addresses #4034. There are two problems happening:
1. The domain is not exited automatically when calling dispose() on it.
Then, since the domain is disposed, attempting to exit it again will do
nothing.
2. The active domain is stored on process.domain. Since thrown errors
call `process.emit('uncaughtException', er)`, and the process is an
event emitter with a `.domain` member, it re-enters the domain a second
time before calling the error handler, pushing it onto the stack again.
Thus, if the handler calls `domain.dispose()`, then the domain is now on
the stack twice, and cannot be exited properly. Since the domain is
disposed, any subsequent IO will be no-op'ed, since we've declared that
this context is done and best forgotten.
The solution here is twofold:
1. In EventEmitter.emit, do not enter the domain if `this===process`.
2. Automatically exit the domain when calling `domain.dispose()`.
This is a squashed commit of the main work done on the domains-wip branch.
The original commit messages are preserved for posterity:
* Implicitly add EventEmitters to active domain
* Implicitly add timers to active domain
* domain: add members, remove ctor cb
* Don't hijack bound callbacks for Domain error events
* Add dispose method
* Add domain.remove(ee) method
* A test of multiple domains in process at once
* Put the active domain on the process object
* Only intercept error arg if explicitly requested
* Typo
* Don't auto-add new domains to the current domain
While an automatic parent/child relationship is sort of neat,
and leads to some nice error-bubbling characteristics, it also
results in keeping a reference to every EE and timer created,
unless domains are explicitly disposed of.
* Explicitly adding one domain to another is still fine, of course.
* Don't allow circular domain->domain memberships
* Disposing of a domain removes it from its parent
* Domain disposal turns functions into no-ops
* More documentation of domains
* More thorough dispose() semantics
* An example using domains in an HTTP server
* Don't handle errors on a disposed domain
* Need to push, even if the same domain is entered multiple times
* Array.push is too slow for the EE Ctor
* lint domain
* domain: docs
* Also call abort and destroySoon to clean up event emitters
* domain: Wrap destroy methods in a try/catch
* Attach tick callbacks to active domain
* domain: Only implicitly bind timers, not explicitly
* domain: Don't fire timers when disposed.
* domain: Simplify naming so that MakeCallback works on Timers
* Add setInterval and nextTick to domain test
* domain: Make stack private
