timers: warn on overflowed timeout duration #71

Fishrock123 · 2017-09-19T18:29:23Z

Previously there wasn't any clear indicator when you hit the overflow
other than possibly unexpected behavior, and I think emitting a warning
may be appropriate.

While it may be viable to allow the use of 64bit numbers in enroll(), browser setTimeout/setInterval just coerces it to 1, which we've been roughly following so far.

I previously had a PR for this at nodejs/node#6956 but I didn't really take it anywhere at the time.

Could you explain what you mean about "hitting the overflow"? I'm a bit confused by it.

Edit: as I understand the code, it means if a timeout or interval is given a number higher than the mac allowrd (32bit int?). It makes sense to warn when this happens, imo. But why does the limit exist?

Edit2: also, it seems that rn it is coerced to TIMEOUT_MAX, instead of 1 as in browsers (per your original message)?

Looks good to me, but yeah, I wonder, what keeps us from supporting longer timeouts? libuv seems to support them?

Fishrock123 · 2017-09-19T18:35:39Z

@hypesystem see

ayo/lib/timers.js

Lines 46 to 47 in edc403c

    
           // Timeout values > TIMEOUT_MAX are set to 1. 
        
           const TIMEOUT_MAX = 2147483647; // 2^31-1

When a timer's duration is longer than that.

@addaleax in the OP:

@Fishrock123 realized I was a bit quick. Updated the original comment with better questions 😄

enroll() is usable separately from set{Timeout|Interval}(), which is where that particular line of code is from.

@Fishrock123 why is the browser behavior the best though? Is it really necessary to follow that? I think it would be best to just increase the maximum instead.

jasnell · 2017-09-20T02:47:00Z

Is there any particular reason that nodejs/node#6956 wasn't pursued? It seemed like a reasonable change.

Best? Not really.
Necessary to follow? Unsure, but that has been the historical precedent.

Consider that the maximum using 32 bits is already some ~26 days or so in length.

At the time, time&energy. Now-ish? Wanted to see how PRing to Ayo will be like. Also a part of me would kinda like to deal with less potential edge-case nonsense fallout since historically people just yell more when there are warnings, useful or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It appears the linter run from travis didn't catch some long lines? Any idea why @addaleax?

addaleax · 2017-09-20T15:12:19Z

heh … I don’t think Travis is actually running the linter – my bad, sorry!

lib/timers.js

@@ -538,8 +548,15 @@ exports.setInterval = function(callback, repeat, arg1, arg2, arg3) {

 function createRepeatTimeout(callback, repeat, args) {
  repeat *= 1; // coalesce to number or NaN
-  if (!(repeat >= 1 && repeat <= TIMEOUT_MAX))

Is it feasible to avoid duplicating code in createSingleTimeout() and createRepeatTimeout()?

Is the emitWarning call the duplicate code you're referring to?

The warning message differs slightly.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Doesn't seem worth abstracting, IMO.

Yup, sorry, didn't notice the difference in warning messages.

I'd say this function's name should start with a lowercase letter.

It's be nice to have it run as a separate task, but I think this should work for now. Refs: ayojs/ayo#71

I suppose this should be land-able if it is something ya'll think would be good?
